George can you react to the Kpop groups live performances on M countdown, Show champion, The Show, Music bank, MBC, and Inkigiyo? They're the Kpop music shows that air in South Korea weekly. The Show aired on Tuesdays, Show Champion aired on Wednesdays, M Countdown aired on Thursdays, Music bank aired on Fridays, MCB aired on Saturdays, and Inkigiyo aired on Sundays.

Oh I LOVE Kai's Obsession look. Show them abs off bby Kai 😍 haha

[@gailwarhol]

@@georgehollins you’re right with what u said on the video. Backstage, kai would look shy and even cover his exposed skin cuz it’s just really how it is, and it’s cold. Not that he’s embarrassed. On stage, they wouldn’t think about it to much.

[@shimmienikoko]

I believe Kai said that he only finds the croptop uncomfortable when he's off stage since people tend to stare at his bellybutton lol but still likes it when he is performing because it matches their song's vibe and concept

[@georgehollins]

In my opinion “obsession” shouldn’t have been on that list 😂 I don’t think Kai felt uncomfortable. He’s an artist that can choose what to wear, or why else would he wear a crop sweater in tempo, only a blazer with a gun holder in the love shot live stage or his deep cut in Mmmh 🤔😅 But thank you for your reaction 🙌❤️

[@georgehollins]

Yeah I agree with you! Obsession doesn't belong in here haha. EXACTLY Kai likes to show some skin and we love to see it haha

[@doodlemunchkin2222]

He mentioned it before in the Obsession behind the scenes I believe, with how it’s a little embarrassing and was trying to cover his stomach with his arms or pull down on his crop tops. But I feel like he separates Kai and his on-stage presence from Jongin enough that he’s comfortable enough with it when he’s in the zone and playing the part and knows it’s just a small part of the job. Perhaps the same as how some actors manage to play parts so contrast to their own irl personalities or tastes, whether that means playing intimate with someone of the same sex even if they don’t lean that way themselves at all, play someone promiscuous and shows a lot of skin even though they’re far from that in their personal life, or play a truly detestable villain who does terrible things to someone. U just gotta get in the zone and put your personal life preferences aside to act the part for the time being. The parachute harness might chafe you in a way that you don’t find particularly comfortable, but if you truly enjoy and are passionate about skydiving, you’ll look past that and it won’t matter as much in the grand scheme of things when you’re doing what you love. Same for Jongin and dancing/performing.

[@helenas7948]

@@doodlemunchkin2222 I think you are absolutely right. There is for instance a video of Taemin (kzbin.info/www/bejne/mmTVpX6sd8mUsJI), who confidently takes his shirt off during the Danger performance and covers himself up with his hands the minute he is offstage. Kai and Taemin are very similar to each other in this aspect. They both love bold stage outfits and have very strong, sexy on-stage persona, but are quite shy off-stage. And it's not because someone makes them do the sexy concepts, especially at this point in their career.

[@Dashomin]

There is a video of Kai saying he isnt use to it and keep pulling it down tho..?

[@helenas7948]

@@Dashomin I don't know the context, but that's what we keep saying - wearing a revealing outfit on stage feels differently than wearing a revealing outfit while talking to people off stage. Kai chose to wear revealing outfits for his solo work as well. It doesn't mean that he would feel comfortable wearing such outfits while buying milk.

[@Caroline-eb2ys]

nah this video did ON dirty lmao. Those outfits were really good. They were styled really nicely and kept the theme that each member had. It matched the stage perfectly and the aesthetic of the song. I really liked ON styling, it was just right and not too flashy or over the top. but dont get me wrong, they were eye catching. it was a nice balance imo :)

[@kristin123a]

No way you can actually think the beige/tan outfits were good? And that one performance where Jimin wore that weird chunky silver harness? Those were really bad.

[@Caroline-eb2ys]

@@kristin123a i do tho. The outfits were supposed to represent the dystopian theme that they were going for, with the whole ON mv. The beige outfits fit that aesthetic well imo. Also, yea that chunky harness may be a bit off, but overall the outfits were good. Not all outfits have to be flashy to be good :). They were innovative and different, especially when most of the kpop industry is reusing the same 2 styles over and over again.

[@mcneeeeeil]

In another video, I defended SM styling. At the time, I wasn't thinking of how consistently Red Velvet is terribly dressed outside of MVs. They've definitely been done wrong by several stylists. It's not even the clothes just being ugly, but unbelievably unflattering. How can you send some out to be eviscerated by the cruel netizens looking like a block? Idols already get so much unnecessary commentary on their weights despite most of them being severely underweight. It's like they went out of their way to make them look fat. They have the entire fashion industry available and somehow find pieces in the most unfortunate fabrics and cuts. I was also totally unaware of earlier NCT127. YIKES! I don't even understand. Maybe the concept was "outfits that make you want to set yourself on fire". The looks would've been someone understandable if they'd happen in the early 2010s, but it was 2016! Still, the a bigger crime is the hair and make up imho. They had Jaehyun walking around looking like someone straight out of TOWIE he was so orange. NO OBSESSION SLANDER! First, Exo doesn't get dressed at this point without their input. Kai is comfortable being a hoe on stage and literally rips his shirt off all the time. He wouldn't have OK'd the crop top if he didn't want to. Kai even continued to work with the stylist for his solos. Kim Wook, the stylist, just won Style of the Year @ Gaon this year. He did Aespa's Savage, SHINee's comebacks, Taemin's Advice, Key's Bad Love, and Kai's Peaches this year. edit: i wrote the wrong year for Firetruck

[@georgehollins]

SM's styling now is usually on point! I don't understand it either. Hahahaha the TOWIE reference has killed me 😂 I haven't seen that show for so long! HONESTLY! No Obsession slander haha! Kim Wook is an incredible stylist 😍

[@mcneeeeeil]

@@georgehollins I thought they couldn't match his skin tone, but he's literally always been super pale? So was it fake tan? The shade range in Korea can be dismal, but SM is literally always working with MAC and other foreign makeup brands that have an extensive shade range.

[@almilall]

2019? firetruck is from 2016

[@mcneeeeeil]

@@almilall oops, i meant 2016. if they had all been in snapbacks i would've understood. also, uniforms were still in style. they could've worn something more similar to each other and it wouldn't have been super outdated or boring. they could just added more streetwear to SHINee's View styling and called it a day. i think Limitless was the last big flop styling wise. once again, i thing the hair is the biggest offender. even if they don't consider it a problem to don on black-hairstyles, it's still offensive to the eye. poor winwin.

[@whirlywinds]

I actually unironically love the styling for fire truck...I mean Jaehyun was rly orange and Marks hair looked horrible sometimes but beside that I love it sm. Like maybe its because i'm in the alternative scene and love unconventional stylings, but the skirts, spiked chokers, coal eyeliner, and best of all winwins hair.

[@debow5042]

For Loona's Why Not styling, the reason why this got so confusing is because the whole album concept was "festivals around the world" The cowboy outfits (ver B) are inspired by Coachella The "red carpet dress" (ver A) surely come from big musical/film award show like the The Festival de Canne The photoshoot in the middle of the night (ver C) are "playful festivals looks" The white jumpsuits (Ver D) aren't a festival look, it's their typical "Loona are one" (normally they all wear white dresses) In Why Not MV, they make to references to the Holi festival from India Even their comeback concert was called "midnight festival"

The taste! Obsession is what got me into EXO as a whole and was one of my top songs last year. I’m a huge fan of the styling it was impeccable and def the guys didn’t look uncomfortable at all (at least to me)

[@sophiebbhl]

I also don't know what obsession is doing on that list.. because this era is from 2019, exo already had enough freedom to say no to anything that would make them uncomfortable. They didn't have to show much skin either, but some members chose to, and it's totally normal. See, they already din't have to diet too hard, but Kai said that he just wants to go for these abs and looks. Yes, he did say that he was uncomfortable off stage, but that was in dmumt era (2018), and this whole crop top thing was relatively new for him. But he's an Artist and he wants to bring the best on stage, it's his choice

[@georgehollins]

Yeah I don't get it either and I didn't get the impression he was uncomfortable either. Can understand it off stage but as you say, he's bringing the best to the stage. I LOVE OBSESSION

Kai and Suho both reveal their abs more than anyone else in the group and they do it quite willingly, on variety shows or during concerts. These 2 members are the ones that keep themselves the fittest, so they are pretty much "ab reveal" ready at any time. Also, Kai has said that he is shy when wearing these things OFFSTAGE, but On stage and on camera, the boy could not LOOK more comfortable in those crop tops. And frankly, Kai and Suho both looked amazing in their outfits. I thought the stylists actually hit a home run with Obsession. Wolf era was the only era that I think was universally unflattering to every member of EXO. It was pure tragedy, from their live performances, to the MV...

[@violet8540]

Yass Blackpink Playing With Fire and Nct Firetruck eras are hilarious. That's super embrassing me as a blink. Also they both on the same era so I notice NCT too. when I saw these two group winning Rookie of The Year and gave speech together I was so shock with NCT's style like how on earth somebody put those clothes on them.

As many people said in the comments, I also think that Obsession shouldn't be on the list because this was one of EXO's most iconic eras and I think I read before that Kai was a little bit embarrassed for the crop top but not at the point of being uncomfortable because he is confident about his body and also is used to show some skin

The outfits I really hated personally were those brown and nude outfits from ON, with the random pieces of dangling fabric as if they just pinned a bunch of fabric together to try resemble a piece of clothing 🤦🏻‍♀. They were so strange and they really didn't look good, although the members kinda made them work... But I really can't watch the performance where they wear them, it's too much of an eye sore for me.

Truly, what is Obsession doing on that list?! (I'm glad to see most of the comments I read agree!) Not only is it one of my favorites in terms of styling that matches the concept of the new release but in my opinion after that we saw similar and more frequent darker styling the following year. More PVC, even more crop tops on guys, and more general combat-ish outfits (I'm blanking on how to better describe them). I'd even say it has somewhat continued and metamorphized into things we're still seeing. (Boy, was I disappointed with the combat/work outfits for Don't Fight The Feeling.) That may be a stretch to some but I'm just thinking about some ATEEZ, TXT, and Stray Kids' looks the past couple of years. Probably more, but that's what is standing out in my memory right now. As well as, I should point out that those are groups I don't keep/haven't kept up with. Other random title tracks I can think of are Dr. BeBe by PENTAGON (dark concept) and La Di Da by EVERGLOW (PVC).

But cube is known for being a bad company and terrible at managing groups, ie clc. But gidle is almost completely self made since cube can't manage them, so they write and put together their own songs. Hopefully soojin gets to come back soon.

[@georgehollins]

Yeah I defo do! I think I reacted to Hwaa when it came out. Oh god, I didn't know about any of this/ I'm not that familiar with Cube but good to know 👀

[@Pos1t1veThinking]

When Shinee was on SNL they did an SNL skit joking about some of the "experimental" hair, fashion (and music) that they've done over the years. It's hilarious and you might enjoy their take on this sort of thing :) The skit was titled 'the dangerous mangaer' btw. kzbin.info/www/bejne/gaSzoIWnqr1ondU

[@MakeyJu]

what did they mean with ON??? literally ALL outfits except for the beige ones SLAPPED! I really loved styling in that era. I love Rick Owens's street-fututristic-postapocalyptic style SO much 🤩 and IDOL?? what?? Ido. was fire, I LOVED those patterned suits and safari fits. the only one that was a bit weird was the patterned fingy tracksuits but that's it. although I do agree, I would've loved to see more of the modernized hanbocks, they were so gorgeous

[@Ca-yr2rz]

Firetruck era omg poor boys 🤣 About Kai, I think they mean because the first years of EXO he really looks uncomfortable and shy with his usual clothing- no shirt/crop top. Now he seems to be more comfortable with it, tho! I don't mind ON era (who doesn't want sexy daddy RM, true), but personally I don't like the navy uniforms-like, mainly because I'm so bored of militar-ish outfits on kpop and this in particular don't give me anything else. And Lisa, yes poor bb, I've always thought her outfits aren't planned with love u.u I was so happy to hear she could manage her style in LALISA!!

[@georgehollins]

I knowwww I'm honestly shook! Maybe, I guess it's just about getting used to it. Thickums RM looked incredible in that vinyl blazer oooooft! The LALISA looks were incredible so they need to keep this vibe for her. Will be interested to see the next Blackpink comeback

[@kimialexainfinity]

Finally someone talking about the playing of fire era, the preppy concept has sm potential but not the actual clothes the girls wore.

[@HopeeInk]

I literally had repressed my memory of the styling during black mamba. I’ll go back to my part-amnesia and only remember these cute glittery outfits from the MV.

[@wongkokheng9453]

Fashion is always fashionable. Mixed and matched is individually. Colours matched depending on background and materials of the clothings....and also suitable for one's skin....Body and height individuals is essential whether one's fat or one's skinny/thin..... importantly the materials one's chosen must be felt comfortable and suitable.Wearing any clothings, self confidence must be there...... Atmosphere, circumstances or situation or climate must be taken into account....if it is unsuitable in the atmosphere.......too much comments.....will be restricted in wearing clothings or outfits.... But outfits or clothing wearing is very individually or personally.or is the seasons stylish...👍👍👍🤩🤩🤩😍😍😍

[@amaya0223]

For me, Not Shy was what Zimzalabim should have been in terms of styling!

You would like g-idle, they're really diverse. I recommend latata, oh my god and hwaa.

[@ningmeng5941]

can you check out dadada by lunarsolar? the music video outfits aren’t really that interesting (but still kinda) but i feel you would have A LOT to say about the stage outfits 😭😭

here’s a stage compilation someone made, if u react to it… enjoy haha kzbin.info/www/bejne/Z160pYawjLF6gNk

I love your reaction and btw I don't know if you've seen Hyunjin's photoshoot pictures from Dazed Korea or not but he wore the exact same thing! The top looks great on you.

[@ktb1091]

I was actually going to say this. Haha. Hyunjin wore the red version of that on Mama

[@georgehollins]

Thank you Sanyasi! I've not seen yet but I saw the red top at the MAMA's. MISBHV do such great stuff, I defo need to get more of their pieces 😍

[@pollycipher]

Blackpink's Playing with fire is the worst styling era next to Red Velvet's Zimzalabim is the worst styling.

[@georgehollins]

I don't think Playing With Fire is that bad tbh. Compared to Fire Truck and Zimzalabim hahaha

[@vivilore677]

Omg this shirt!!! Lot of idols wear it, sorry i don't know fashion, it's probably popular and idk xD But Hyunjin wore this to MAMA in red and i loved that fit on him. Looks amazing on you too

[@A_Plus92]

Justice for Mark and his fried hair😔✊🏼

[@georgehollins]

HAHAHA I'm dead

[@sorellabby]

You should check on loona so what and then see if you feel like the cowboy theme fits, regarding the black dresses it was more for there bside star so I guess they were just album photos not for the title track or stage but maybe it's because it's SO different and separate frome the theme they were going for regarding the title that people were confused but either way the album slapped lol

[@krystalized6]

Mark did really felt bad with the outfita he was given, so much that Taeyong had to ask if they could give him sth better. My poor boy

[@elyeryyy6048]

i’m an nctzen, but there is no use defending fire truck styling. it was a MESS. got a few good memes from it.. but that’s it LMAO

[@chonasaur]

I absolutely LOVED this. I love this idea of KPOP fashion videos series! Maybe next time you could react to the opposite: a compilation of outfits in KPOP that *slayed*. If you want to, this could be a good place to start: Most ICONIC and CONTROVERSIAL KPOP OUTFITS OF 2019! - kzbin.info/www/bejne/eWS2gqaVlK9meac The year 2019 was a big year for almost all of the big groups and breakthrough groups, so I would be interested in what you think about this video! Lots of love xx

[@georgehollins]

Thank you Chona! Yeah that is a really great idea! My Kpop series so far has been all about "bad" fashion. Controversial fashion, Kpop fashion sucks and now the worst Kpop styling eras so we defo need something positive hahah

[@yordankavo]

Hahaha What a funny video. I don't have those "serious" issues with the styling in k-pop music videos. Yes, sometimes I don't like the outfits but actually it's not so deep. Yes, kiwi-Wendy was crazy but see - I can recall the video when I buy fruits even years after. And this leads me to listen the song again. :)))) Also I think that the main purpose for some outfits (styling) is not always to look fancy and pretty? Sometimes the main idea is the mv/the artist/the song/the message to be remembered and impactful? To gain an interest and people to talk to it? But maybe this is just me, who thinks that way. I don't know if you undestand me correctly, I hope so.

[@dramionefeltson1295]

Woah the misbhv top you wear similar with Hyunjin wore on his latest photoshoot with Dazed Magazine. Giving spiderman vibe. Please check out Hyunjin photoshoot with Dazed

[@georginaharroll365]

On era to me honestly doesn't look bad at all. The styles really fit the vibe of the song. Idol, however, could be done much more better. Also, Obsession and Not shy didn't deserve to be on this list. Personally, I believe the styles for them were actually good.

[@georgehollins]

Yeah I agree with everything you'd said haha

[@DisneyBar]

I'm so impressed they did it with newer groups.. I was sure they gonna talk about SHINee's dream girl era. Or TVXQ's rising sun hair, or Super Junior's twins outfits... But doing it with newer groups I think is interesting because this is were you can judge the fashion at the time it came out and not something outdated.

무대의상은 곡의 컨셥에 맞게, 혹은 스타일링도전을 위해서 끊임없이 변화와 시도를 해보는게 당연하고, 그런 시도가 모두 멋지거나 성공할수는 없다. 하지만 새로운 시도는 항상 옳다. 비록 실패하여 웃음거리가 될지라도.

[@georgehollins]

Hahahaha I'm still SHOOK at Fire Truck era wow

[@taeyongscheeks]

I am alright with most of them as I luv Zimzalabim it is not just the vibe it is just that I am mire into alternative things so yeah. I find most of the outfits alright. Like people keep sayibg Lisa gets the worst outfits I find all of them good that I saw there is only one dress that once Jisoo wore that I didn't like idk it is just common that people like high fashion more then the others just like people keep blaming Jennie for the "bad outfits" that the others get. Jennie being YG's fave ? Where if she was then where was the protection from the hate she got ? She wasn't protected these that still liked her had to hope Jennie to get less Fanny outfits. People didn't mind Jennie not having the most lines(even tho she is a vocalist and rapper so why shouldn't she have the most lines just saying),screen time. I remember how happy she was to rap in ddu du ddu du she doesn't have raps in half of the songs for the sake of these fans *_*

[@lobaetoile8440]

The African print suits BTS used during IDOL era, for the MV and in Jimmy Fallon's interview? Some of the most beautiful suits they've ever worn.

[@louder1123]

I saw your top and immediately thought of Hyunjin! He wore the same color in his recent Dazed photoshoot as well as one in red during their MAMA performance.

I need to check this Dazed photoshoot out! You honestly can't go wrong with MISBHV and the tops aren't that expensive

[@jeonju9523]

I think ON outfit is good and match the song. And IDOL outfit just match song perfectly bc IDOL song is influence by africa beats , thats why they put tribal outfir and etc

[@sarah-jl8cr]

I don't think Obsession belongs on this list. Instead, as much as I love the song, but from what I seen in interviews the boys feel the same, I would have seen GOT7s Stop, stop it era here 😬

[@alicewonderland6677]

I think that was the vibe they were going for idol. Like that's why the mv was so out there as well.

[@maanyaaagarwal5882]

actually obv kai wasnt uncomfortable while performing cuz he is a proffesional but in the encores when they won awards you could see he was uncomfortable w it and trying to cover himself up. theyre amazing outfits but they lose that if you can tell the members arent ok w it

Yeah I agree with you!

[@Nini-gz2qr]

kai doesnt feel uncomfortable in croptop in the way that op interpreted, he did say he was uncomfortable with it, but more like when he's not performing and had to walk backstage. he chose to wear croptop especially the first time he did for the i see you concert stage. he always gives input in his clothes and always prefer to have it suit the concept and theme of the song/performance.

[@georgehollins]

Yeah this is exactly what I thought, that's why I mentioned it's probs not on his mind whilst he's performing and more of a backstage thing
