Park Bo-gum and Seolhyun of girl group AOA, the hosts of the show, were not an exception to the trend. While Park showed up in a black suit with peak lapels and a white shirt with a black crossover bow tie, Seolhyun was in a creamy beige colored V-necked column dress, showing rather clear color contrasts between the two.
