BTS V's Korean Elegance Shakes Up LA at Vogue World
Paramount Studios in Los Angeles, USA, briefly embraced the Joseon Dynasty.
BTS member V captivated global attention with a fashion statement that perfectly blended tradition and modernity.
Invited by Anna Wintour, the doyenne of the fashion world, V attended the ‘2025 Vogue World: Hollywood’ event on October 26th.
He sat in the front row alongside Hollywood luminaries such as Dakota Johnson, Nicole Kidman, Baz Luhrmann, Tyler Perry, and Cynthia Erivo.
He resembled a cultural ambassador representing Korean beauty on the world stage.
A Fedora Resembling a Gat, Adorned with Joseon Style
V's fashion was undoubtedly the talk of the event.
He wore a long gray coat, a wide-brimmed fedora reminiscent of a ‘gat’ (traditional Korean hat), and a striking red sash around his waist.
The sash featured traditional patterns and jade ornaments, evoking the opulence of the Joseon Dynasty's royal court.
This outfit was designed by the Korean brand ‘Jaybaek Couture,’ inspired by the royal attire of the Joseon era.
It was a moment where the refined yet intense aesthetics of Joseon were reinterpreted in a modern way.
This fashion statement maintained the gravitas of tradition while leaving a lasting impression on the global fashion scene with its sophisticated silhouette.
“BTS V = Lionboyz Jinwoo!” Director's Admiration
V's fashion became a hot topic not only in the fashion world but also in the film industry.
Maggie Kang, director of the Netflix animation ‘K-Pop: Demon Hunters,’ posted a photo of V on social media, exclaiming, “BTS V = Lionboyz Jinwoo!”
She couldn't hide her admiration, saying that V's visuals reminded her of the heroic character ‘Jinwoo’ from the animation.
Fans also responded with comments like, “V looks like a real-life anime protagonist,” and “It's amazing how he can pull off a gat with modern clothing so naturally.”
Fashion enthusiasts and K-pop fans from around the world unanimously praised, “It's amazing how Korean traditional elements can be expressed so stylishly on the world stage.”
Tradition, and a New Bridge to the World
V's fashion this time is being evaluated as a cultural symbol, not just a simple outfit.
It is significant that he showcased the beauty of Korean tradition at the center of a global fashion show.
This is also a symbolic scene showing that the Korean Wave is expanding beyond music to fashion, art, and aesthetics.
V has established himself as a ‘muse of the cultural arts world,’ beyond a ‘K-pop icon,’ with his artistic sense and aesthetic expressiveness.
At this event, he brilliantly played the role of a bridge connecting Korean culture with the world, not just a celebrity.
Complete BTS, Back to the World
BTS, to which V belongs, completed their military service with Suga being the last member to be discharged in June this year.
ARMYs worldwide are eagerly anticipating the news that the full group's comeback is scheduled for the first half of next year.
V is expanding his own color through solo activities and art projects while also reigniting his energy as a team.
His presence at this ‘Vogue World’ stage felt like the prelude to BTS's future global endeavors.
V's journey, crossing between tradition and modernity, music and fashion, ultimately conveys one message:
“True style comes from not forgetting your roots.”
