In the world of K-pop, fashion is a powerful form of self-expression. From flashy stage outfits to everyday streetwear, idols are constantly pushing the boundaries of style.
Numerous idols have been breaking traditional gender norms by embracing unisex fashion clothing like skirts and challenging stereotypes.
One of the most notable K-pop artists who lead the charge in skirt fashion is Big Bang's G-Dragon.
Known for his innovative style, GD was one of the first male idols to incorporate skirts into his wardrobe. Many renowned male idols, including members of BTS and SHINee, as well as EXO's Kai and Sehun, and GOT7's Jackson, Mark, Bambam, and Youngjae, have been seen wearing skirts. Each of them adds their own unique flair and personality to the style, proving that skirts are not limited by gender.
Fourth-generation male K-pop idols are also making a statement with their embrace of unisex fashion. From half-skirts to full-length ones to skirts layered over pants, these young idols confidently flaunt their style. They redefine masculinity by slaying skirts as part of their stage outfits and daily wear. Let’s have a look at them.

Which male K-pop idols from the fourth generation do you think completely own the fashion scene with their mesmerizing presence in skirts?
No-one rocks a skirt like Taemin, except perhaps Felix, who would look great in a bin liner if he chose to wear one, ATEEZ and a couple of others from the other groups look ok. Most of the rest don't look happy, comfortable or particularly good, in fact some of them epitomise the phrase 'fashion victim'.

Don't get me wrong, I love men in robes and flowing garments, a man in hakama looks fantastic. I don't have a problem with men in 'skirts' per se, but most of these particular fashion looks seem to be just for shock value, rather than to look stunning. And whoever designed those looks for TXT should be taken out back and re-educated.
