2. BTS’s V – Simplicity is the New Luxury
📍 Seoul Airport

V’s minimalist CELINE look is pure class, reminds me of Japanese menswear aesthetics. Simple but speaks volumes.
These days, airports feel like extension runways for idols, don’t they?
Back in the day, it was just travel clothes, but now every departure is a concept, romantic, edgy, luxury… It’s like watching a drama character’s ‘arrival scene’ in real life! Do you think agencies plan these in advance or let idols style themselves? 
Okay but why am I still awake at 3AM obsessing over Karina’s belt detail?
That black-on-white contrast is chef’s kiss! Now I’m scrolling airport pics instead of sleeping… again
@Haruka_Tanaka Exactly! Back in my day, idols just wore hoodies and sweatpants to airports like normal people. Now everything’s a ‘concept’, who wants to sit on a plane in a bodysuit and cutouts?
Fashion is fine but can’t we just let them travel comfortably?
OMG wait, do you think I can pull off Jennie’s cap look for school next week?
My uniform’s boring black-and-white anyway… should I risk it?
It’s not just about the airport turning into a runway—their fashion is beyond inspiring. Now I really want a dress like Karina’s
Exactly! Karina’s fashion is absolutely gorgeous and with her beauty, it’s a double win!
Where can I find Annie’s outfit in a hijab-friendly version?? It’s so beautiful and cool. Ah, I’m going to start hunting for it on e-commerce right now
They’re all so fashionable, how do they still manage to look gorgeous and handsome even when they’re tired in the middle of a crowd of fans?
By the way, I’m absolutely in love with Ningning’s style.
Totally agree, it really does feel like we’re getting mini fashion shows at the airport now. I think it’s a mix, agencies probably coordinate the big statement looks for media buzz, but some idols definitely add their own personal touch so it still feels authentic.
