The 'Idol Star Athletics Championships (ISAC)' have become a much-anticipated event for K-pop fans, not just for the athletic competitions but for the memorable moments. ISAC is a platform that showcases not only idols' athletic abilities but also their creativity and love for cosplay. K-pop idols did some epic cosplays in ISAC, adding an extra layer of excitement and entertainment to the event and bringing humor and joy to fans and fellow idols in the audience.
Let's look at some of the epic cosplay moments by K-pop idols at the Idol Star Athletics Championships.
BTOB’s YOOK SUNGJAE and EUNKWANG
BTOB members are celebrated for their iconic cosplays, with fans eagerly anticipating each new appearance. Yook Sungjae and Eunkwang, in particular, have consistently brought laughter to commentators, judges, and fellow idols at ISAC. Notably, in 2016, they stole the show by cosplaying as Jumong and a Horse in February and then as Legolas and Cupid in September.
B.I
B.I, the former leader of iKON donned a funny full Cupid costume and a wig at the 2019 ISAC for the archery semi-final match against NCT 127. The laughter was inevitable when the cupid ended up scoring the lowest on his team, much to the delight of the audience and commentators.
TWICE ARCHERY TEAM
TWICE's archery matches at ISAC are always exciting, thanks to Tzuyu's archery skills and their eye-catching costumes. In the 2019 ISAC archery match, the members cosplayed as Katniss Everdeen, the iconic archer from "The Hunger Games," and appeared both stunning and cool.
THE BOYZ ARCHERY TEAM
The Boyz’s archery team at ISAC 2022 sparked excitement for the event with their cosplays during their face-off against NCT. Hyunjae in particular captivated everyone with his spot-on ‘Detective Conan’ look, complete with a blue coat, red bow, half jeans, red shoes, and round glasses.
Although not strictly cosplaying, several K-pop groups at ISAC’s 'Aerobics Events' dressed up as fictional characters and famous personas.
THE BOYZ – SPIDERMAN
ASTRO – ELVIS PRESLEY
