Cool in its time, these Korean Fashion Trends are not cool anymore - OOTD and Hairstyles

Korean style has become one of the most popular trends among young people today. Especially since K-Pop and Korean dramas have gained worldwide popularity. All aspects of appearance, from fashion styles to idol hairstyles and actors/actresses, often inspire fans' OOTD.

However, Korean fashion also had a 'dark period' that is now considered uncool. Going back to the early 2000s, Korean celebrity style was very different from today. It often made people wonder, 'Do artists really dress like this?'

Curious about what Korean styles were popular but would be strange to wear now? Take a look in the following slideshow.

For those of you who have been following Korean dramas since a long time ago, you must be familiar with the hit drama FULL HOUSE starring Rain and Song Hye Kyo. Aside from its exciting storyline, the fashion style of the Korean stars in this 2004 drama also caught attention.

I still vividly remember the appearance of the two main actors of FULL HOUSE, which is far from their current style. Back then, this kind of appearance was considered really cool.

In the 2000s, vibrant colors were the trend. Sometimes, two or more bright colors were combined, resulting in clashes. It's different from now, where color combinations are given more attention.

Guys wearing body-hugging shirts that emphasize their physique were common back then. V-necks and shirts with a few buttons undone were also very popular among celebrities.

Not far from the style in Korean dramas, viewers must be familiar with the combination of sport jackets and jeans. When wearing this jacket, it definitely feels like the coolest in the group.

No one ever thought of combining a sweater with jeans and training pants. But, in fact, this OOTD was once displayed by actor Kwon Sang Woo.

In addition to clothes, the popular hairstyles in the early 2000s were also very different from now. Lion hair or voluminous hair like this was a trend in Korea, including among K-Pop idols.

This hairstyle was displayed by a series of K-Pop idols, both girls and boys. There's no story of idols performing on stage with hair styled in a 'natural style'.

Idol groups like Super Junior and TVXQ also didn't miss out on showcasing this hairstyle. It's unimaginable if they were to recreate this look now.

Messy hair in various styles, from straightened, curled, to sharp and spiky like an anime character, successfully made fans swoon back in the day.

Contrary to the present era, even though the showcased styles still capture attention with various colors, idol hair is as naturally styled as possible, as if they were born with it.

Each generation has its own style because fashion always revolves. What is considered cool now may be totally uncool in 10 or 15 years.

Looking back at the Korean fashion trend that was popular in the early 2000s, are you curious about how these old trends would look if they were brought back? Will they be popular again? Are you brave enough to try, KLovers?
