11 Kpop Fashion DISASTERS That Received Criticism 

late 2000s and early 2010s outfits was so bad not iconic

@@gyyrui4714 it was iconic🤨

I loved the fashion of that era. It was perfection, especially for that song.

It fitted the song

Seriously as North Eastern American White Male, I will always have respect for 80s/90s Boy bands, because most were from Boston, Philly, NJ, and NYC! The View era was very nostalgic for me and I was ready for Minho to start singing Good Vibrations by Marky Mark. I know 4th gen is getting "only 90s" kids will remember looks, but do Koreans really know about this, even if Koreans are dominate Asian culture in the NE US since the 90s.

ty

Winters and Giselle s outfit was a bit wierd

Completely agreed. Aespa looked amazing☺️. I don't understand what kookielit is on about, those outfits ✨slayed✨. I guess haters gon hate no matter what😑

@@minaldhurve8988 why are yall claim everything as a hate

They said it was ok on stage too imagine wearing something like that all day tho

@Soulhazer they cant bc of they go to music shows at 5:00am that's when they take turns to change in to the outfits so they have to stay in those outfits like all day

@Soulhazer yeah that true

@@nadadeyb5836 i can imagine that still it was amazing. they were rocking these outfits and i'm still HERE to see smth like that AGAIN

@@user-nz7tg1oe1r yes

Agreed.

Mamamoo worked for what they have with barely much promo from RBW, I think the other groups just need to build their fanbases and they'll be just as big, because at this point RBW is not promoting any of them well.

@@facethebass I agree

That's true! No luxury brands, just crafting

Can be genuine mistake by the stylist and company also.

No there's no excuse for this. That symbol is literally the emblem of the Nazis, the big bad of World War 2. It's not something that a non 3rd world country wouldn't know about. It's not an issue that is directly tied to just a country or a continent, the whole world was involved in this

Maybe with the eagle part you’re right but there’s no excuse for the other symbol. the N4zi symbol is known world wide and ww2 in general is such a devastating part of history that kids already learn about it fairly early in history classes. I blame the company for this mistake.

It was a genuine mistake by RBW and their stylist.

Good knowledge there. But please refrain using the word swastika in your comments. If you want just refer it as Haken Kreuz Or Hooked Cross.

@@s_k248 I only used that word in the context of the Buddhist version of the symbol. I’ve always used the word “hocked cross” when we learns about it in school. We never called it swastika in school unless our teacher told us that the Buddhist version of the symbol was called that and that it should never be mixed up with the hocked cross.

@@swecheekypanda Wow, I am genuinely super impressed by the education of your country. Because even I had thought ages back that both symbol are the same even though I am part of the culture.

@@s_k248 my country was neutral during WW1 and WW2 but we took a lot of refugees, especially children. Because off that we focus on information about the wars, both the good and the bad. Although it’s more focused on Europe as I live in Europe we try to incorporate the Asia/American side of the war too although in my opinion we should focus on it more then we do at the moment. It was a WORLD war after all. So every country that took part should be included in the conversation and education.

True, same happened with a hat in a shooting for Namjoon of BTS. Someone just bought stuff for their clothing pool of shootings and it was a Nazi cap. The idols just dress what is given to them, it's not their job to check the dresses. They are also often not educated enough as young people. Like I'm interested about the world and 46 years old, but cannot know everything about every culture. Let's say for example the Red Khmer used a certain symbol, I just know they existed and killed a lot of people, but wouldn't know exact symbolism. But if I had to make shootings and find something on a dress or use a statue or so, I would see it as my job to check stuff, which is also way easier with the internet today.

It may sound mean but as a German I am very happy that the company apologized since in Germany it is even illegal to draw it olny some people are allowed to do that olny to teach about the symbol.

@@bora9397 ich bin auch Deutsch 😭😭😭

No, they are 🚫.

They could be, if they can promote their artist properly and EQUALLY

@@missanin6357 to be honest, yeah. the artists in rbw are : MAMAMOO (2014-present) VROMANCE (2014-2021?)ONEWE(2017-present)ONEUS (2019-present)PURPLE KISS (2021-present)(tell me if I miss any) I mostly think that they only properly promote purple kiss and Mamamoo (in the past) since I don't really see much of the other groups promoted really properly. So I do think they should be promote equally and properly. (In my opinion)

Yes I don’t understand what is so wrong with the outfits !!

The stylist in the kpop industry gave the nickname Lisa the hanger Because no matter what you wear She looks good in almost everything she wears.

It’s not about ‘aespa' It's about those particular dresses..Don't need to be oversensitive just bcz your faves wore that..yeah those outfits literally made with 00 efforts & creativity & didn’t suit Aespa

@@SunhaJae ok no need to call them oversensitive when she was just stating her opinion. and they're right Aespa doesn't have to change their style if they don't want to. because at the end of the day it really is up to the stylist

@@SunhaJae Yeah i fucking haaaate their music but I think the outfits are sick.

@@Sugaaafactory Thank you. (I’m a male BTW)

Aespa looked amazing☺️, I have no idea what koookielit is on about, those outfits ✨slayed✨. I guess haters gon hate no matter what😑.

@@angelinaaa.385 Are you Chinese?

@@derpfaces63 He is not manipulator

@@derpfaces63 And why are you writing this to me, I didn't ask you

@@nyusha260 they're just being racist, they also did it with muslims.

@@Riyangi89 Who are racists by what Muslims?

Oh finally someone saying it

Minimum research, possibly 🥲

Yeah! It wasn't as bad as some people made it out to be😊

What do you want them do? All they can do is apologize. Humans make mistakes. You have probably also made mistakes in your lifes. Forgiving people for their mistakes is not a bad thing.

@Bloody Mary using a hate symbol isn't "just a mistake" you're infantilizing the adults who work for RBW. South Korea is considered to be a victim of WWII, you would think they know not to use a n*zi symbol. Just a mistake would've been bad styling, unflattering clothing, not making the group look cohesive, etc.

They didn't know the signs because They don't teach any history about world War II in South Asia and Southeast Asia. Asian countries have so much of their own history such as it's colonial history and their own freedom struggle from the imperial colonies etc to teach that nothing of WW2 is covered except the name that it happened between the countries. All the information about world War is gained by media Or entertainment sources such as movies. I think Japan might have WW2 topics covered in school as they took part in it and was greatly damaged by it The aspects of WW2 which are mentioned in history textbook will be in correlation how that was impacted in that particular Asian country. And this might also be true many East Asian countries. They will only have just names in their history textbook and no further information will be provided. In case of Korea only Japan from WW2 would be mentioned the most. So an average high school graduate will not know about the history of WW2 except for few names and dates and how it impacted their country and no insights of war like what emblem an army used etc. And I think all the idols and stylists are at least high school grads or if they did pursue higher education, I doubt they will pursue more in the field of history rather than their own specialization such as music or designing which will help in their career; so they must be unaware of what insignia was used by a certain army. As you can see in the purple kiss costume there is US Airforce written above the eagle and hooked Cross so it seems cheap clothing and not some high end brand. As purple kiss is not popular internationally not sure about Korea and RBW not being among the big company they might not have provided enough budget to the stylist. So they must have used some cheap clothings and stylist must not have altered it as it was just for year end photoshoot. They didn't know the history and had no intention to hurt anyone's sentiment. And after people pointed out the idol herself apologized even though it was not her fault. Mistakes happen. It is human nature to make mistakes and people should also forgive her for such unintentional mistake.

@@JacksNightmare Nope, it is completely possible that they didn't notice it was a nazi symbol. Nothing to do with infantilizing.

@@derpfaces63 Excuse me this is so racist

@@derpfaces63 why are you spreading hate? and whats with the ''so?'', u want someone to report u or smthng?!?!

savage is aespa’s best fashion, that specific giselle outfit is so unique and interesting with cool textures and shapes, it’s not even unflattering on her so i’m failing to see why you would say this

Agreed. Aespa looked amazing☺️. I don't understand what kookielit is on about, those outfits ✨slayed✨. I guess haters gon hate no matter what☺️

The excuse. When a German exchange student goes to the USA the question he gets asked could be. Do you now H. ? Are you related to H.? Is gassing people now legal in your country? Do you have electricity, cause you Country is after the war broken? There is also a video on RU-vid from one guy, who goes with a german WWI uniform to school. Some people thought he was wearing Nazi uniform. So even the winning country is dumb about this topic.

@@s_k248 Then why are they using US/European style if they don't care about the history, this symbol is not juste a mistake it can really hurt people

@@clemy5511 That is modern clothing not something US/European style. Are they wearing some Native American outfit from USA? No. Are they wearing something from the Victorian era from Europe? No. All the modern clothes are practical and easy to style. Is something military inspired a part of history for you. Nowadays every military of each and every country have the same style with few modifications and different design. Why would they deliberately hurt the people they are not even targeting. Did they parade the symbol in front of the victims? No they don't even target the international audience. Then on what basis or proof do you have to be so sure it was not a genuine mistake.

exactly‼

I agree with you on this one. Atleast there was no need to put a tormentor and an innocent idol side by side.

Agree with the first part, these thumbnails are wayyyyyu too much.
