Like we need another awards show (or film festival).
But this new one, called the “Style Icon Awards,” hosted by O’live TV, has managed to attract a herd of big name stars. How? Give everyone an award.
Among the winners were Lee Jung-jae (no dramas or movies recently, but wins an award), Big Bang (need someone to perform, Suh In-young (need a girl to perform as well), Kim Hee-ae (someone “established” to represent the stylish ajummas)….and Rain as “Style Icon of the Year” (although he just made his comeback earlier this month).
The “Style Icon Awards” was held at the hip, ” Club Answer” in Cheongdam-dong.
Check out the Style Icon Winners:
Style Icon Winners:
Actor: Lee Jung-jae
Actress: Son Ye-jin
Male pop act: Big Bang
Female pop act: Suh In-young
Sports : Martial artist Chu Seong-hoon
Model: Jang Yoon-joo
TV: actress Kim Hee-ae
And of course, these awards shows come up with some less than creative names, like “Beautiful Sharing,” In Korean, that might sound ok, but in English (and it’s in English), it just sounds like a pre-schooler made it up. And what’s the difference between “World Icon” and just “style Icon”? Rain must not be happy.
As we already said, this is just more evidence to bring the big names to the event
“Beautiful Sharing”: Sean & Jung Hye-young
“Fun Fearless Female”: Sohn Ye-jin
New Icon: Shinee
Special Award: the late Lee Eon
Fashionista: Jung Ryu-won
World Icon: Olympic gold-medalist swimmer Park Tae-hwan
Style Icon of the Year: Rain, Jang Mi-hee
Oh, if you would like to be a stylish “icon,” the prerequisite seems to be dressing in the celebrity favorite-black. (yawn). These people should remember that this ain’t no funeral.
Rain in his purple bowl cut (did anyone notice this?) is the winner of only the “Style Icon,” not the “World Icon”. This probably puts a dent in his plans to take over the world… Another thing- how can he be “Icon of the Year” when he just made his comeback this month? Something fishy is going on.
Son Ye-jin wins a “Style Icon” Award but there is anything stylish or iconic about her sense of style. And what is that kelp colored dress? Boring.
Jung Ryu Won, another winner of Style Icon Fashionista, is deserving of the award if model thin and goth is their thing. Even though she might snap in two, her makeup looks fabulous in the dark rimmed eyes and fresh flushed cheeks.
Kim Hee-ae represents all the stylish ajummas in the Kangnam area. Another one in black.
Suh In-young is the younger version of Kim Hee-ae by wearing black stockings and black dress. Dang, this is boring. If you are a “style icon” shouldn’t you dress better?
Ohhhh, the “beautiful sharing” between Sean and Jung Hye-young- not. These two are regular party goers to just to get goodies….and they bring their child along for that extra bag.
Jung Joon-ho plays host and stays conservative in a navy suit. Can’t go wrong if you stick with the classics…
Park Tae-hwan is “world style icon” to winning the Gold at the Beijing Olympics this year for the 400m. That’s quite an accomplishment but what does that have to with style? Does a speedo count?….and whats’ that “X” marks the spot on his neck?
Hwang Bo brings on the attitude as a old school Hollywood starlet with a big fat fur wrap thrown over her shoulder, hard red lipstick, pulled back hair and a pantsuit.
Singer Bobby Kim gives attitude, like he won an award.
Model couple, Choi Ji-ho and Jang Yoon-ju, known as “the body” and ex-gf of the late Lee Eon, strike a professional pose.
K1 fighter, Chu Sung-hoon is easily the best dressed by wearing a difficult to wear, light gray suit and lavender scarf. Man has got attitude and the cool down pat. Must be the K1 fighter in him.
Designer Ha Sang-baek looks anemic…is it the pale makeup?
Jang Mi-hee deserves the style Icon Award. At 51, the woman looks seriously fabulous! Woman pulls off the glad garbage bag dress with aplomb and the strappy heels are gorgeous. The single Jang Mi-hee should hook up with the cool Chu Sung-hoon (above).
Jin Bora defines the words “fashion disaster”. What the hell is she wearing? There is nothing stylish or iconic about wearing white granny heels with a utterly tacky nylon mushroom dress matched with an even uglier bag. Dang, how can she wear that in public?
Singer Shion is out of this world galactic in a black fitted plastic dress, sky blue contacts and blond hair. Strangely enough, the outfit and hair/makeup work on her.
yeehaw!
I like Rain’s style. Although he just makes a comeback, he has been modeling for numerous magazines in this whole year. He deserves it. He looks manly and arrogance in this outfit
I have to agree with Melody… RAIN does have STYLE.
He made his comback in October, but he was still working his cute ass the whole year.. so why not!
ack ack no comment. really~
the only ones i think look better are Bi and Jung Ryu Won. Others are just nuh~ Jin Bora? she really does need a fashion supervisor! XD
i noticed his purple hair! it looks good, even tho he’s dressed a bit boring. anyway, LOVE Hwangbo’s look. she looks amazing. she has an awesome, unique style.
Suh In-young’s pose makes her look like retard. Especially the first photo. I think it’s her hand.
Hahaha!
Jung Ryu Won is a stick, indeed…but i luv her style. haha~ idk..
i’m there for rain
are those judges nuts??
picking shinee for ‘new icon’???
they are FASHION DISASTERS!!
hey fashion police, can you please arrest already these boys?
i love rain shoes, the only things look stylist if it’s actually a style awards
Uhh ,,.. I kinda like In-Young make up in this one :O!~~ A plus from me
D And yeah that pink dress …. ahahaha xDDD~~~
I LOVE Son Ye Jin but her outfit at this event is not so great! I still love her though!
Raining~
What a joke! Those ppl are far from stylish! Especially Seo In Young! Thanks for the laugh!
Son Ye Jin looks gorgeous as usual.
*..*
RAIN is so damn hot…
he looks stunning in those pic…
don’t hate on me but i Love the thinness of Jung Ryeo Won’s Legs. O_o
i cant quite get this awards thing either,but they sure attracted alot of big stars !
but i agree Rain does have style.
im not a fan or anytg,but cant deny this guy looks good in his suits.
I think Hwang Bo was killing it in that suit she really has the old Hollywood glam thing going she kinda reminds me of Dita von Tesse!!
the model’s shimmery dress is to die for…
rain’s cute!
and I like Jung ryu won! stop bashing her just because she’s skinny.
What are some of those women wearing? Style is certainly subjective and in the eye of the beholder especially for them.
Park Tae Hwan looks a bit like fish out of water in that kind of environment (no pun intended), but good for the Olympian to capture that award.
Rain IS a style icon! His launching of his clothing line this year may have something to do with getting that award but he’s got the physique to make anything he wears look stylish.
Sohn Ye Jin’s dress look boring, nothing interesting, i rather see Hwangbo win the awards
I like Rain Style……..the rest…….???????
Everyone back of off Hwangbo! She looks amazing! Jung Ryo need to eat a burger with four beef patties!
@sonaturelle: “Jung Ryo need to eat a burger with four beef patties!”
LOL, Jung Ryo doesn’t want to be a ‘fcuk fat’ like yeow xD
Um can I ask who writes the fashion articles…no offense but you guys need someone with a sense of style writing these…its sad
well at least there were a couple of people wearing colors other than black. props to them!
also props to Rain for looking decent in these pictures.
the outfits weren’t that great but they weren’t disasters either.
Rain’s hair didn’t look like such a bowl in the beginning- i guess now that he’s back in korea, he decides that the more bowl-like the better. And I actually liked Son ye-jin’s dress- looks better than all the dresses worn that night. ANd Jung Ryeo-won needs to put on some pounds. I was just rewatching My Name is Kim Samsoon the other night and she was so pretty then! Hwang Bo would have looked awesome without the fur.
dRain is a style icon? looking back at some of the great (cough cough) stuff he’s worn over the past year … i.don’t.think.so.
but maybe tittie shirts are in these days. who am i to say.
why isnt hyori in there my god is has best fashion of all
i cant believe they left out hyori =_=
I think whoever wrote this article has a retarded sense of style..
And THESE are korea’s style icon? lol!
I’m pretty sure what Jin Bora is wearing isn’t a dress, but a pantsuit. Which makes it worse.
BB werent even there.they are in Japan.
i’m really diggin Rain’s get up.
“Beautiful Sharing” WTH is that? Don’t they have translator or something? That sound absolutely dumb. I couldn’t even guess what that means.
I’m surprised Yoon Eun Hye is not even in there. She even represented O’live when she did a shoot in NYC.
Rain has been experimental and adventurous with his outfit, just like any other celebs, but for sure he knows how pull it off.
Rain looks stylish and classy in that smart casual style. The scarves and the shoes are the statements. Black, why not? You don’t have to be all colorful and weird to be stylish. All the excess accessories and clashing colors make you look hip, but not always stylish.
I don’t like Rain’s hairstyle and haircolor this time, but first thing first, he has to let himself to be chubbier.
They deserved to receive these awards. Especially , Jung ryu Won- Her fashion always has a new vital power.She makes a good impression from her head to legs , because there are different changes in her hairstyles - dressing- makeup - bags - wallets - shoes….These are necessary combinations of fashion !
i have never got what the hype is about jung ryeo won…she sort of reminds me of olive from pop’eye.
yay go rain
hes what my friends classify a pretty man
but hes HOT
rain looks stylish all the time , so he deserve it .
c’est la vie… I so agree, he needs to have some fats.. he’s too toned now.
tony.. spot on!
Rain sure has style. Doesn’t he look classy or what ? Rain,you’re simply the best. That’s why people adore you whether you’re clothed (or bare); whatever outfit you wear seems so fitting and sexy.
“the late Lee Eon” im kinda sad when i read this.
does anyone notice that Rain’s hair is getting more and more similar to Jaejoong’s? One side it’s shorter the other side it’s longer.
How the “mcfires” does SHINee the New Icon award? Please they had to include a SM Town artist are receive the anger of fans or something like that. I like SHINee but please thank again STUPID!!!
Jang Mi-hee looks amazing for 51! And even though she is too skinny, Jung Ryu Won has looked increasingly beautiful this past year. Her makeup is always perfect!
rain looks great; love him lots<3
JinBora: it ain’t spring or summer girl!
HwangBo looks like some super rich CEO.
I like the outfit of the first two girls though; the green and the balck skirt.
You’d think they’d have better stlye!
I love Rains style, his updated, unique and very sexy!
What the hell is with the shirt that Sang Baek is wearing? =/
Also the last singer, her name is pronounced Shee-on but it’s written as Sheean.
yeah, bi looks good!!!
@Aaliyah8
Shall we send a letter to J.Tune? ;P CHUBBIER PLEASE!!!EAT MORE PLEASE! I’ll add your monthly allowance, poor guy…
As if Rain would care hehehe, it’s SO not up to us. And it seems he’s keeping (too) fit on purpose; his image of Rainism…magic stick…, so he has to stick with his stick look! (sigh) For a dancer, Rain’s body seems to be just perfect, but his face looks SOOOOO thin, maybe he tries to get rid of his cute look, and adds on more fierce look (or whatever look).
Anyway, Rain will change his look soon, so let’s see.
Rain as “Style Icon of the Year” (although he just made his comeback earlier this month). <— SOO TRUE! even though i like the guy’s music, his fashion sense was a complete disaster this year until his comeback!! not deserving the win this year~
HwangBo looks sooo good! not many people can pull off that look.
go go rain!!
Rain is totally the World Style Icon he knows how to dress and he’s always looking yummy.
what is so fckng great and yummy about rain?
rainism’s pationi’sm disgust me.
i will vote for hwangbo if it allows…
she has got the style…
Shion looks like she’s on a space mission or something..the hair!!! XD
Oh my Lord !
Jin Bora’s dress is such a shocking statement !
PARK TAE HWAN OPPA LOOKS NICE IN A TUX.
