Childish Or Youthful? Sailor Concepts In K-Pop Get Debated On

The outfit is one of the staples for rookie boy groups.

Sailor outfits are one of the staples of K-Pop, especially for rookies. NCT Dream made frequent use of the concept during their rookie days.

TXT made the outfits look mystical to fit their magic boy concept.

ENHYPEN wore them for the briefest period of time during their debut days.

Most recently, NCT Wish has been wearing modified versions of it for the summer. The updated sleeveless versions look more trendy.

They can also be used to fit a uniform theme.

Some boy groups turned it from cute to hot instead.

How do netizens feel about the look? While most like it, some went as far as to call it the male version of Lolita fashion, condemning those who enjoy the look. On the other hand, many feel that it can look refreshing and cute if not taken overboard.

• I don’t like it if they dress it up too childishly.
• I love it.
• Like it.
• It’s good.
• Apart from one group here, most of them seem clean and easy to pull off. Those who try to change it to look unique looks weird.
• Love it so much.
• I’m not referring to any group in particular, but it’s a little gross to me. Especially when they do their hair and makeup like kids.

The marine look has been around for generations in K-Pop, and it doesn’t seem like it’ll be going anywhere soon!
