K-dramas are appealing to the eye in various ways, and watching the fashion trends each drama sparks can be a lot of fun. Here are five throwback moments to memorable fashion statements among K-drama characters.
1. Hyun Bin - “Secret Garden,” SBS 2010
Who can forget the sparkly tracksuit Hyun Bin sported? “Each bead has been sewn on thread by thread by Italian masters,” the wealthy CEO said in the drama, causing viewers to crack up.
2. Lee Min-ho - “The Heirs,” SBS 2013
“The Heirs” wouldn‘t have been the same without millionaire high-schooler Koo Joon-pyo’s luscious curls.
3. Jun Ji-hyun - “My Love From the Star,” SBS 2013
Many clothing items the actress wore in the show sold out, from coats and dresses to shoes. The bright red and pink lipsticks she used became a sensation in the Hallyu cosmetics industry.
4. Bae Yong-joon - “Winter Sonata,” KBS 2002
First-generation K-drama fans are bound to remember Bae Yong-joon and his many mufflers in the wintry romance drama. The technique of wrapping and tying the muffler loosely around the neck a la Bae Yong-joon was a huge fashion trend among men at the time. It just seemed so romantic back then.
5. Song Hye-kyo - “The World That They Live In,” KBS 2008
Song Hye-kyo’s cute bob inspired many women to head to the salon and chop off their hair.
