Celebrity guests at Park Kyong-rim’s wedding were on the casual side for their choice of wedding attire. Maybe I lean more on the conservative side when it comes to formal occassions, but I think that jeans, shorts, t-shirts or short dresses are not appropriate for such events – especially if there are a bride and her bridesmaids wearing floor length gowns. Also the colors black and white should be a wedding no-no, but almost all the guests chose this theme as their color (except for Jang Na-ra). Ok, that’s fine. I am down with the new rules that say black or white is ok as long as the color doesn’t take away from the bride (i.e. white outfit that looks like a wedding dress) or look like you are going to a funeral. But after covering these formal events and awards here at POPSEOUL!, I am tired of seeing celebs wearing inappropriate attire! When will someone realize there is a time and place for short skirts and jeans?

Kim Ajoong doesn’t look like herself here. When I first saw her picture, it only looked like a slight resemblance of herself. Maybe it’s the harsh daylight? Her top is fine, but the skirt is way too short.

Yangpa doesn’t look like she is going to a funeral, so the black dress is acceptable (can you tell I don’t like black to weddings?)

Jo In-sung wears casual white shirt and gray jeans. Maybe he thought they were black, which would make him look like a waiter than a star. Inappropriate.
MC Mong looks like he is the groom on top with the white coat and tie with black shirt but the baggy jeans ruin it.

Kangta and Shin Hye-song look fabulous! I bet they are wearing this only because they had to sing.

Sol Bi. Does this look like a wedding dress to you? It sorta does.

Park Jung-a wearing a gorgeous dress shirt that would be purrfect for work, not for a formal wedding.

Ryan of Paran look appropriate on top but who knows what the picture cut off – perhaps jeans? skirt?

Kim Min-sun. The color is gorgeous, the length is fine, but the dress is a bit too baggy. Otherwise, she is one of the better dressed of the celebrity bunch.

Kang Hye-jung. Is that a sweater she is wearing? It was so hot outside today.

Hyun Young looks decent in this dress and we can forgive her for the slightly short dress since her legs are so long, she probably has a difficult time looking for a dress that fits properly. However, considering her age, this cutesy empire dress would look better on a 20 year old.

Lee Hyori, is that a t-shirt underneath your dress? This short shift is almost passable with the large buttons in the front, but it ain’t that flattering. Pass.

Hwanhee looks hot in those shades and we will forgive him for loosenin’ them buttons…

Hwang Bo-ra is bor-ing. Han Hyo-ju is ok, but she looks like Hyun Young’s twin sister.

Chae Yeon. Good to see her wear some clothes, but she looks like a waitress in this outfit.







oh and your fashion sense is all screwed up. =) and yeah, like majority of the other posts, weddings particularly in Asia – guests come very informal to semi formal unless stated. They all dress quite fine for a wedding IMO- and also if its in the summer, short dresses are perfectly fine – you don’t need to look like you’re going to prom when attending someone else’s wedding.
i kinda agree. korean weddings only go for approximately 25 MINUTES. freak! not even an hour!
that explains why these people don’t fully glam themselves up
agree
not bad guy… your dressing and others..
KangTa looks Sna-zay!
Cha taehyun is cute,
I think they are dressed okay..ish (most)
I know this is an old article, but just had to say…
Black is one of the more appropriate colors to wear when you attend Korean weddings. You’re supposed to let the bride shine out in her glowing white dress & everyone else should look toned down & simple. No prom dresses please. That would be considered disrespectful to “outshine” the bride on her wedding day. It makes sense if you look at it from that way.
Like, really? Jeans and casual shirts during formal wedding ceremony are okay? It’s so weird that it sounds really unbelievable.
It seems as unappropriate for me as to wear jeans in a theater.
The rule regarding not wearing white during weddings, so bride can stand out, is very logical, but if she is the only one in evening gown while other guests are in casual closes it looks stupid and tasteless.
so totally a 100 percent agreed with what eleven said, no need to wear prom dress to a wedding and it’s a middle of the day. The sun is shinning brightly, why the hell do you want to wear a long dress for that. You just gonna end up looking like a clown if you wear a prom dress to this kind of wedding.
on korean weddings…the bride is supposed to outSHINE the rest…it’s not like those american weddings where-in even the guests have to wear fab dresses…^^
that’s the eastern style..not the west..^^
I wish someone would wear jeans at my wedding and some coming to look tacky…I agree with the writer of this story..Your attending a special event not some flea market..Only a handful look nice and the rest need to be on the show WHAT NOT TO WEAR TO A WEDDING…
May be popseoul still lives in 20th century Disneyland land world and wish everybody dress like prince and princess ?
yeah like seriously? the skirt is too short? um, in what age do you live?? thats the stupidest thing ive ever heard-
they all look perfectly presentable and their all bloody celebrities, like do you know how many times they have to get dressed up to go to all the premiere events and stuff? weddings about the people who are getting MARRIED, it shouldnt matter what they bloody wear. we live in the 21st century for god sake.
go back to medieval times if you want.
Agree with Eleven and U guys.
But, I think short is too informal for a wedding (like the one Bada wore). Trying not to outshine the bride is good, but short is toooooo far from shinning. :p
hi! this is me!
o.o lol although none of these clothes really appeal to me (except jang nara’s dress..wow its so cute!!) , i think you are over-critisizing everything. there’s no such thing as a perfect outfit so why must you pick out all the bad things and make them sound like these celebrities are criminals?? XDD lol its just clothes. im sure the fact that they were there at all considering their busy schedules is an honor.
Wow…your fashion sense is so american..DO YOU NOT KNOW THIS WEDDING WAS IN KOREA? WTFUX…Are you some like stupid white kid making this site? In Korea, wedding attire for guests are informal/casual =.=
Who laughs at the writer’s comments on their clothing? I didn’t. Your comments are disgusting Popseoul. Ask your writers to be a little more respectful. Unless they can prove they’re Fashionista’s or Fashion designers, criticizing them is fine with me.
“(can you tell I don’t like black to weddings?)”
What are you, a kid? You’re not attending the wedding, and you’re not even invited to the wedding so shut up and just state their names, please.
