K-Pop fashion is a very specific particularity of K-Pop to enjoy. Especially when it comes to stage outfits, idols, and stylists never fail to amaze fans with brand-new clothes, always prettier each time. But those days, many idols and stylists have been trying to break gender norms associated with clothes by giving more feminine outfits to male idols, and more masculine outfits to female idols. This is something greatly appreciated by fans, and even some idols themselves have mentioned enjoying trying new clothes styles those days.

Today, we want to talk about a specific piece of clothing worn by some K-Pop male idols, and it's no other than skirts! Indeed, in the past few years more and more male idols have been seen wearing skirts, or half a skirt with their outfit, and to be honest, we loved it! Not only did it suit them so well, but it also gave a fresh look to their outfits and fashion style. So let's look back on 5 K-Pop male idols who rocked outfits that included a skirt!

Note: this is not a ranking.

Not only for his stage outfits but even in his daily life, YeonJun mentioned that he enjoys wearing skirts a lot those days and even posted some pictures of his self-made outfits for fans to enjoy. YeonJun is already the type of person that can rock any type of clothes, and him trying out different types of skirts just confirmed this fact one more time!

2. ONEUS' KeonHee

ONEUS made their comeback with 'Erase Me' a few weeks ago, and have been performing on music shows since then. While promoting, they showed various outfits featured in their MV and even other outfits, but one specifically caught out attention, and it's KeonHee's black and white outfit that included a knee-length half skirt. That was such a unique item to add to his outfit and it really highlighted his entire look!

The first time HongJoong wore a half skirt, he went viral all over the internet, especially since he was already known for breaking standards and gender norms before. And even if time passes by, we can never forget about this HongJoong. But after that iconic outfit, he wore skirt-type clothes one more time during the 'Guerilla' promotion, and of course, once again, everyone went crazy about it, and it is justified!

4. Do HanSe

IST Entertainment

HanSe is also another idol quite known for not fitting into the cliché of masculinity, so it is no wonder that he once wore an outfit composed of a skirt. That was for his issue in the e.L.e magazine, and we can say he rocked that like no one else! The white skirt with his long hair gave him such a pure and elegant look, HanSe can really be a fashion icon anytime!

5. Holland

Holland is a male soloist very famous for being the first openly gay K-Pop idol. He recently appeared in many photoshoots wearing very extravagant and fashionable clothes, but the outfit that caught our attention for this article is the one he wore when he did a live performance of his latest release 'Number Boy'. He wore a leather black skirt accompanied by a sleeveless crop top, what an amazing look!

It is safe to say that those male idols have rocked those skirts and that they're being a real game changer to help break gender norms!

ATEEZ At Coachella Week 2 Was A Ritual Of Love & A Warcry At The Same Time

ATEEZ gave us one of the most unforgettable performances for week 2 of Coachella 2024 and I have some thoughts about it.

ATEEZ At Coachella Week 2 Was A Ritual Of Love & A Warcry At The Same Time

Coachella on X

The cozy comfort of a much-awaited Saturday morning was settling in when I tuned in to the Coachella Week 2 "Sahara" stage live broadcast. Having witnessed the absolute grandeur of ATEEZ's Week 1 performance at Coachella, I was mostly expecting a reiteration of the same iconic level for Week 2. However, what we got was something out of this world.

One phrase kept going round and round in my mind as I watched this ATEEZ set at Coachella week 2. This is a ritual of love. Love for music, love for performance, and very distinctly, love for each other. ATEEZ's Coachella week 2 performance was not just one of the best performances at Coachella this year, but it was a glorious invocation of the muses. Having studied literature and art for all my life, I cannot possibly think of a better way to describe the breathless brilliance of this performance.

Getting the obvious out of the way, of course, ATEEZ's confidence, panache, showmanship, vocals, rap, dance, and all other technicalities were much more polished than in week 1. The boys were now more aware of the stage, and having had one go at it, they were definitely more relaxed. In Korean, this state of mind where one recognizes scope or room to expand is called "yeoyu" (여유).

Yeoyu is something you see in a seasoned warrior, and when our Captain walked onto the stage that night with his members, ATEEZ looked nothing short of warrior princes coming for the throne. Every single member stood out in their own unique way, with their versatile talents on full display. The visuals were top-tier, as always, the styling - en pointe, and the vibes - immaculate. The rap came across power-packed and smooth, the vocals were resounding yet delicate when need be, and energy was at an all-time high. These men knew what they were doing, even with the slightest gaze they held out to the audience, and the effortlessness of it all elevated the performance to a whole new level.

This time, it was as if ATEEZ was putting their lives on the line and thankfully, the camera work delivered in picking up the detailed nuances of this performance. Even as I write this, I'm taken back to SeongHwa, sword in hand, screaming into the sky to call forth the last ounce of strength he needed to pour his all into his art. When SeongHwa roared, like lightning sent back to the heavens, the lump in my throat threatened to escape, only to be held back by the realization that I was looking at a spitting image of Sung JinWoo from "Solo Leveling". Now, I need that live-action to happen, and I need SeongHwa to play humanity's greatest hunter.

The very next thing I remember is a singular black tear running down his cheek as he stared right down at the camera. This moment has gone viral and for good reason, too, as artists flock to SeongHwa, having found their new muse.

However, it wasn't just the aesthetics of it all that left an impression. To me, as an ATINY and a Hallyu Journalist, this tear represented how far ATEEZ had come. The unstilted passion, diligence, hard work, and endless struggle they endured culminated in this one defining moment when they were on top of the world. ATEEZ, who started from nothing, created something, and won everything, were declaring to the world that they were just getting started.

The respect ATEEZ had for the Coachella stage, for the audience, and for everyone who supported them, especially ATINY, is what that tear symbolized to my eye, but like all art, this, too, is up to your interpretation.
