THIS male idol has been gaining attention lately for his experimental pants. He also earned praise for breaking the gender norms. Who is he?
Wonho's Cut-Out Pants: Hit or Miss?
On September 6, singer Wonho became a hot topic for his experimental fashion 'fit. In particular, he drew massive attention for wearing pants with huge cut-outs during his FACADE tour in Europe.
One of the outfits that stood out to WENEEs (Wonho fandom) was the idol's cut-out jeans, exposing his top butt cheeks!
During his performance, fans initially thought he was wearing ordinary jeans. To their surprise, the "Losing You" singer was actually wearing Y/Project's "Classic Peep Show Jeans," or cut-out jeans that boldly show someone's upper bottom.
The outfit's model wore a white shirt to cover his skin, but being the risktaker that he is, the idol took the 'fit to next level by not wearing an inside clothing.
He wore another cut-out pants during the concert. This time, it was from INCERUNMEN with six exposing the sides of his butt, his thighs and legs.
But what surprised even non-K-pop fans the most was Wonho's TELFAR's thigh-hole track pants, which exposed his muscles.
As soon as the "Open Mind" singer's cut-out fashion became a hot topic online, Wonho earned mixed reactions.
Some implied that the pants were unflattering and the K-pop scene is still not ready for such clothing.
- "The pants aren't pretty."
- "Why would you wear this? Just wear shorts."
- "It's not my thing."
Despite criticism, more people expressed their love for the singer's bold fashion style. They also praised him for his confidence and for not conforming to stereotypes.
Wonho is, in fact, known as the "king of thighs," a title given to him by his fans. He shows off his muscles and perfect body often on social media, and yet with these unconventional 'fits, he still sent his fans into a frenzy.
He also caused a huge interest because cut-off track pants are often worn by female idols or women in general, but Wonho broke the gender norms by wearing them.
On top of these reactions, WENEEs emphasized that what important to them was Wonho feeling confident and happy with himself.
- "He seems happy so it's enough."
- "As long as fans like it, it's his own concert anyway."
Wonho Wraps Up First European Tour 'FACADE'
Meanwhile, Wonho successfully wrapped up his first European tour since his debut as a soloist.
Starting with Munich, Germany on August 28, he made special memories with local fans as he celebrated his second debut anniversary by performing in Oberhausen, Madrid, Spain, and London, England.
After completion of his European tour, Wonho will continue to meet global fans by holding a fan meeting "OHHOHO TRIP" in Thailand on the 18th and in Tokyo, Japan on October 7th and 8th.
