Despite looking extremely dashing on camera and through the screen, Kpop idols actually struggle a lot with outfits.
Every time they appear on stage or in music videos, Korean idols receive praise for their beautiful and glamorous costumes. However, not everything that looks good on camera feels the same in reality. Behind the glamorous outfits on stage, Korean idols also have their own outfit-related struggles. Some have to wear extremely short clothes that make it difficult to handle, while others wear tight clothes that cause discomfort or cause their bodies to look bulky.
In fact, due to excessively tight clothes, in many cases, female idols are called “bulky” despite being slim. For instance, BLACKPINK Jennie once donned a skin-tight top that bundles up her bust, whilst BLACKPINK Jisoo’s skin bulks up in uncomfortably tight shorts.
Yeonwoo’s waist has also been “tortured” by excessively tight shorts, leaving red marks. Even worse, she had to wear shorts like these for an entire promotional period.
Alongside teensy shorts, Kpop idols are also often dressed in minidresses and skirts, even in extremely cold weather. As a result, they not only have to endure the chills and constantly tensing up, but also have to watch every step as they sit or climb the stairs.
Accessories can also cause pain to Kpop idols. A cast in point is BLACKPINK Lisa during the promotion of her first solo release, where the female idol had to wear stiff metal accessories tightly wrapped around her arms, scarring her skin.
