EXO's D.O. And NCT's Mark Are Being Connected To Each Other... Over The Silliest Styling Choice

Though EXO‘s D.O. and NCT‘s Mark are both K-Pop idols under SM Entertainment, the two aren’t really known to have strong connections to each other and debuted at much different times in the industry. Therefore, there has never really been a solid reason to compare the two idols to each other, at least until now!

Recently on a post on an online forum, the two SM artists were mentioned together due to a particularly questionable and experimental styling choice that D.O. and Mark both went through, albeit at much different times.

Both male idols were made to wear strangely fluffy shirts at some point in their career. For D.O., it was this pink, feathery concoction that looked silly in most settings…

But it still had its moments where it actually looked quite lovely!

More recently, Mark was donned with an equally fluffy cape-like accessory, which didn’t at all match the styling that the other members of NCT DREAM had at the time.

Korean netizens are finding the unexpected similarity between the two idols entertaining, and also wonder what their stylists must have been thinking when they chose the fluffy ensembles.

“Damn it.”
“Don’t turn it into a trend.”
“I’m sorry for laughing. I’ve sinned.”
“Huh… But why?”
“PLEASE stop doing this to my bias.”
“It’s… kind of cute?”
“Doesn’t go with the weather. Doesn’t fit the concept. Like, what are those feathery things even for?”
“I thought this post was supposed to be funny. Why is it so aggressive?”

International netizens share similar sentiments, as seen in the comments of the forum post discussing the two idols.
