TenAsia reporters are here to examine and analyze the fashion of stars who recently appeared at various events.
Let’s dive into the OOTD of Gang Dong-won, who always boasts a unique fashion sense during his project promotions. With vampire-like visuals that seem to defy aging, we’ll look at his style from the production briefing for ‘Wild Thing’, which opens on the 3rd of next month, to his looks at events for ‘The Plotter’ and ‘North Star’.
Wild Thing
Reporter Ryu Ye-ji: Did he hurt his neck? At first glance, I thought Gang Dong-won was wearing a neck brace. The giant white ribbon wrapping his entire neck definitely stole the spotlight. I wonder how it would have looked if he had just worn the Dior cable knit sweater. That might have brought out a more pink, flower-boy vibe.
Reporter Park Ui-jin: While the first impression might be surprising, Gang Dong-won naturally pulled off the big ribbon, which could have felt overwhelming, thanks to his unique proportions and aura. It added a lovely point to a potentially plain knit styling.
Reporter Kim Ji-won: Gang Dong-won immediately captures attention with a bold styling of a light pink cable knit paired with an oversized white ribbon decoration. He turned a high-difficulty item that could easily look like children’s clothing into a runway look with his slim build and long limbs. It is an experimental, fairytale-like style that doesn’t look tacky.
The Plotter
Reporter Ryu Ye-ji: Gang Dong-won really loves genderless looks. The leopard pattern halter neck tied at the center of the neckline is breathtaking. While he pulls off the halter neck with a model’s fit, it is a completely different approach compared to other male actors his age. You can see his challenging spirit in showing that men can attempt this style too.
Reporter Park Ui-jin: He completed a bold styling with a strong leopard pattern and halter neck design. By matching it with a jacket, he balanced the overall look, refining the potentially excessive vibe into a sophisticated mood.
Reporter Kim Ji-won: “Elegant even with a leopard scarf… the definition of decadent beauty.” His styling sense shines through the combination of a beige suit and leopard halter neck. By boldly skipping the shirt and choosing only the leopard halter, he achieved a sexy look with the right amount of exposure. However, the length of the pants is a bit disappointing. Due to the awkward rise, it leaves the impression that he tried to alter his father’s clothes to fit himself but didn’t quite finish.
North Star
Reporter Ryu Ye-ji: Ribbons again. While a giant ribbon on a men’s jacket is surprising, the price is even more shocking. This Dior detachable bow shawl collar jacket costs around 9.3 million won. Fortunately, the ribbon is detachable. This jacket was first introduced at a Dior fashion show, and Gang Dong-won wore it exactly as the model did. It seems only Gang Dong-won could pull it off to this extent.
Reporter Park Ui-jin: He added a ribbon detail to a neat and classic jacket to create a point that isn’t too much. By adding subtle decoration to a clean silhouette, he exuded an overall luxurious atmosphere.
Reporter Kim Ji-won: The suit with pleated lapels is unique. From the front, the deep-cut navy suit highlights a restrained sexiness, while the back draws attention with a silhouette that falls like a cape. The ribbon decoration on the back especially creates the vibe of a noble character from a comic. Gang Dong-won’s ability to make exaggerated designs look realistic is amazing.
