As sweet as this unexpected appearance was, it unexpectedly sparked some charged discussions around Korean wedding culture.

In particular, many non-Korean netizens and fans were taken aback at the laid-back outfits of both idols. While Seungkwan chose a simple black blazer over a lighter colored shirt and black pants, Mingyu turned up in a crew neck black jumper, black pants, and a beanie.

These outfit choices have yet again caused a heated discussion around Korean wedding culture, where guests are usually expected to wear semi-formal or business casual attire.

I know the Korean wedding dress code is business casual but as a desi it still doesn't sit right in my head https://t.co/Ar3xAtoCoq

This isn’t, however, the first time an idol’s wedding guest outfit has caused a heated debate among non-Korean netizens. BLACKPINK member Jennie also became the center of such discussions last year. Read more here:
