Weddings are often seen as grand celebratory gatherings, yet the style and dress codes can vary widely based on personal preferences, cultural norms, and regional traditions. In this instance, a post shared on an online community forum sparked widespread discussion, focusing on Jennie’s attire for the wedding.
International fans expressed surprise and curiosity about the outfit Jennie chose, noting that it differed from what they might expect for wedding attire. Many were unfamiliar with the specific fashion etiquette typically observed at Korean weddings, leading to an online dialogue about cultural differences in dress expectations, “Korean wedding culture is so insane, everybody looks like they’re going to the office,” “Korean people treat weddings like funerals.”
Korean netizens, on the other hand, defended Jennie’s style, viewing it as both culturally appropriate and aligned with local wedding norms. They felt that her outfit was fitting for the event, highlighting how Korean wedding attire often prioritizes understated elegance that respects the occasion without overshadowing the bride.
- I’m not fond of an all-black outfit, but I think she dressed appropriately for the event. And I don’t particularly appreciate seeing some people acting weird about it. Every country has its own wedding culture. I hope they can respect that.
- They should respect our culture; why are they interfering…this is our way of respecting the bride.
- No matter what we do, it’s our culture. To us, wearing a dress to a wedding seems like interfering.
- In a way, Koreans, going to a wedding is like going to a business event.
- What’s with everyone interfering?
- Korean culture is always cautious about everything.
