Korean dramas have always been a source for fashion inspiration, but some recent K-drama wedding guest looks have sparked debates and discussions across the internet.
In the tvN drama “Marry My Husband“, Park Min-young who plays Kang Ji-won, rocked a controversial all-white ensemble to the on-screen wedding of Park Min-hwan and Jung Soo-min. The refined white pants and vest accentuated her waist, combined with a sleek hairstyle, Kang Ji-won’s fashion choice became a trending topic for its break from the traditional wedding guest attire.
Netflix’s original “‘The Glory‘” also displayed unique wedding fashions when Lim Ji-yeon shared photos on her social media from the scene of Park Yeon-jin’s wedding. The odd mix of cropped shirts and attention-grabbing decorations on male friends’ suits became a talking point, overshadowing even the groom’s attire.
Coupang Play’s “SNL Korea Season 3” featured Kim Ok-vin as a comedic bride, while Ahn Young-mi sparked laughs with her unconventional blouse and “heat-tech” wedding picture attire that she jokingly threatened to remove due to the cold. The bride’s reaction added to the hilarity of the situation.
Another iconic fashion moment appeared in SBS’s “My Love From the Star”, where wedding guests, particularly Cheon Song-yi (Jeon Ji-hyun) and Han Yu-ra (Yoo In-young), shone brighter than the bride with their elegant dresses and commanding poses during the wedding of Noh Seo-young.
