'Tokyo Ghoul' Creator Thanks WayV Yangyang for Dressing as Kaneki Ken for 'SM Halloween Party'
On October 31, SM Entertainment held their annual Halloween party, "SM Halloween House" (also known as SMTOWN Wonderland). This marks the return of the agency's Halloween party since 2019, as the 2020 party had to be canceled due to the pandemic.
Several idols from the company rolled up in their best costume, but one artist who stood out was WayV Yangyang!
The idol showed up as Kaneki Ken from the hit anime series "Tokyo Ghoul," with white hair, red eye contacts, black nails, and his iconic mask.
The WayV member even wore Kaneki Ken's leather long sleeves under a black shirt and leather pants under black shorts.

Yangyang is known to be a massive fan of the "Tokyo Ghoul" series. In 2020, the Chinese idol shared an artwork of Kaneki Ken he drew to his Instagram Story.
Due to his love for the anime, WayZenNi's (WayV fandom) have been hoping to see the idol dressed as the character for a while now.
When Yangyang rocked white hair for WayV's "Bad Alive" era, many hoped it would be happy; but alas it, the era passed without a Kaneki Ken cosplay.
Until now!
Everyone agrees that Yangyang totally aced his Kaneki Ken cosplay. Even the creator of the series, Sui Ishida, approves of the idol's costume.
