They were personally invited by the president of South Korea.

NewJeans’ image and popularity stems from their “Y2K” concept, which sees their outfits look more casual.

Yet, a recent look for the group has come under immense fire.

On August 22, NewJeans performed at a private event to celebrate the 2024 Paris Olympics and the athletes who took part. The group was invited by the president of South Korea, and it was a special event with other stars like SEVENTEEN‘s BSS.

While netizens are used to NewJeans’ more casual style, many hit back that the basic t-shirts and jogging pants weren’t suitable for such a prestigious event. They seemed quite plain and simple, not really showcasing the group’s concept but looking like practice outfits.

While NewJeans has always shown a more casual and Y2K style, netizens hit back at the fact it was a prestigious event in front of important people like the president of Korea, but the members were wearing basic joggers and t-shirts. Many netizens demanded an apology from the stylist for doing NewJeans “dirty” with the looks at such a prestigious event.

Although netizens understand the group’s style, the members have worn different looks that are more elegant and less casual, which would have been more appropriate for this event.
