Recently, on social networks, images of Jennie (Blackpink) attending a wedding in Korea were spread. The female idol wore a simple black and white outfit.
But through Jennie's image, international netizens expressed that they were shocked to see the outfits that guests wore at the wedding in Korea.
Some posts shared Jennie's photos and said: "Korean wedding culture is so different, everyone looks like they're going to the office."
"Wearing casual clothes to a wedding? Definitely not!"
"If I dressed like this to attend a wedding in my hometown, it would be strange."
But Koreans immediately responded to these views. They affirmed that Jennie was dressed in the right Korean wedding style.
They also pointed out that this is a cultural difference between each country. In Korea, wedding guests wear minimal clothes and mainly dark tones or black and white to show respect for the bride and groom, especially to avoid standing out more than the bride.
A Pann Nate post about the issue has attracted 255 thousand views and hundreds of comments.
Many people pointed out that although Jennie wore black and white, she looked very elegant and not like she was wearing everyday clothes.
In addition, comments from Koreans on social media suggested that foreigners should respect Korean customs and not make rude or impolite comments.
In Korean media, when reporting on celebrity weddings, it is not uncommon to see guests wearing minimalist or dark clothes. Artists pay a lot of attention to this because if they appear prominently, they are easily criticized.
However, there are also Korean netizens who agree with the opinion that wedding guests in Korea are too fond of dark-colored clothes, which can make the wedding atmosphere lack brilliance and freshness.
Furthermore, some comments pointed out that holding a Western-style wedding is not a traditional Korean culture, so forcing guests to wear simple, dark Korean-style clothes is not really appropriate.
