Here Are All The Korean Stars Who Attended The 2022 Met Gala
On Monday, the Metropolitan Museum of Art’s Costume Institute hosted its annual Met Gala (also known as Met Ball). The stars were out that night under the theme of In America: An Anthology of Fashion, focusing on gilded glamour.
The stories really reflect the evolution of American style, but they also explore the work of individual tailors, dress-makers, and designers. …We’ve been exploring untold stories and focusing on designers who have been almost written out of fashion history because they weren’t commercially successful or they had a short career span, but at the time had a big impact on American fashion.
— Andrew Bolton, Met Gala Curator and Coordinator

So not only was the theme focused on American history, but it’s also the start of Asian American and Pacific Islander Heritage Month. So, we would like to showcase the Korean stars that attended The 2022 Met Gala. Here they are…
1. NCT’s Johnny
NCTzens were excited about the K-Pop idol making his Met Gala debut, especially since he practically manifested it years ago.
Johnny wore a look by FIT alum and LVMH Graduates Prize winner, Peter Do. He dressed in an ultra-long satin black tailcoat with silver detailing and a matching suit and combat boots. Yet, he technically went “shirtless” for that signature Johnny look.
#JOHNNY: feeling good 🥂
