Multiple SEVENTEEN Members Wear Skirts In New Concept Photos — Breaking Gender Stereotypes
Although Korea is known for its traditional views on gender, K-pop has been the bridge between that, with many idols breaking down stereotypes, especially when it comes to fashion. In particular, many male idols have been spotted wearing looks through promotions without any thoughts about which gender they are for.
Recently, SEVENTEEN has been gearing up for its comeback at the end of the month. It gained praise after multiple members were spotted wearing skirts in the comeback teasers.
In the past, many of the members have gained attention for hitting back at gender stereotypes with their fashion in their schedules.
On April 18 (KST), SEVENTEEN dropped the latest teasers for their album.
While all the photos stood out because they saw the members going back to iconic songs and concepts they’ve done in the past, four stood out after they were spotted wearing skirts. When it came to “God of Music,” The8 looked ethereal in his photos, and netizens saw the idol teaming a suit combination and jacket with a skirt overlay.
Jeonghan was showcasing “SUPER,” and along with a suit and varsity jacket combination, he was wearing a skirt that matched the more casual vibes of the outfit.
Mingyu and Jun also shone in their concept photos, using bold colors and imagery to showcase their journey from debuting until now. Mingyu sported a tartan suit but rather than traditional pants, the idol opted for a skirt that matched the pattern and texture of the suit jacket.
Jun went for something more minimalistic, with a skirt that matched the texture of his blazer and all the patterns coming from the statement shirt.
While not all the pieces were found, one X account managed to find the pieces worn by Jun and Jeonghan.
