Kpop women’s fashion is increasingly bold as artists are not afraid to show off their physical beauty, and Jennie (Blackpink) is said to be the one who started this trend.

Kpop female idol fashion changes

Recently, Huh Yunjin (LESSERAFIM) became the center of attention when wearing a bold fashion style at the showcase. The female idol’s outfit received many mixed opinions. Besides fans’ compliments, most of the public think that Huh Yunjin’s outfit lacks sophistication.

Previously, the LESSERAFIM member caused a stir when appearing in the group’s “EASY” trailer, becoming a topic of discussion with the trend of wearing “lingerie” when wearing a bikini and a loose jacket. Huh Yunjin’s style makes many people uncomfortable, thinking that she is showing off too much of her body.

This is not the only time LESSERAFIM has caused controversy over its outfits. The group’s fan community once criticized the stylists for constantly wearing Hong Eunchae in crop tops, tight dresses, and short skirts. Notably, Hong Eunchae is still a teenager, so clothes with too many cuts are not suitable.

When NewJeans first debuted, the public had similar feelings to LESSERAFIM now. Despite their youthful image and Y2K concept, the group’s stage outfits are mainly short crop tops, which are not suitable for their pure appearance.

More and more, many 4th generation girl groups are not afraid to show off their bodies. (G)I-DLE once stunned many people with a photo wearing a bikini, a fur hat and posing in the snow.

Is Kpop’s bold fashion influenced by Jennie?

Talking about bold fashion, the most influential female idol today is Jennie (Blackpink). Although not the first person to pursue a sexy image, showing off physical beauty, rapper Blackpink often creates trends. Dubbed the global “It girl” of Kpop, Jennie has brought fashion fever.

As 4th generation female idols become more and more daring, Korean media believes that the reason comes from Jennie. Specifically, during YG Entertainment’s “Born Pink” tour, Jennie continuously wore short skirts, high-cut shirts, and outfits that showed off her curves and white skin.

In particular, during the group’s concert in Paris, the female rapper caused a stir by wearing messy bras on stage. The above moment was strongly shared and caused controversy on many social networking platforms.

Her boldness increased when she became a global ambassador for Calvin Klein. The female idol often shares photos wearing lingerie to advertise the brand’s products. On personal Instagram, it is not difficult to see images of Jennie in bold outfits.

Nowadays, it is not uncommon for Kpop idols to reveal their bras. From veteran idols like TaeYeon (SNSD) to new star Kazuha (LE SSERAFIM), many people are following this trend.

Therefore, Korean media and audiences believe that Jennie is the one who started Kpop female idols to follow and develop bold, revealing fashion.
