Ever look at female celebrities wearing kill heels and short skirts to the airport and wonder, “Bitch must be out of her damn mind.“?
(See Jenna Marbles‘ video on airport fashion for additional details.)
Airport fashion is Korea’s answer for the fashionistas’ need to strut their shit down a terminal. Almost all media sources have a photo section dedicated to what celebrities wear to the airport, accompanied by an inane PR headline. Yet we forget that sometimes, celebrities want to be like us plebs.
During an appearance on SBS‘s ‘Hwashin‘, KARA‘s Seungyeon decided to declare war on the banality of airport fashion.
MC Kim Hee Sun commented, “There was a time when Han Seung Yeon responded to a reporter who asked airport fashion, ‘My head hurts. It’s difficult to wear sunglasses everytime I go to the airport. Our members aren’t insects to be stared at.’”
Han Seung Yeon responded, “I wasn’t angry at the reporter, but about airport fashion in general. We should be able to wear comfortable clothes when going to the airport, but the place became a hotspot for fashion critics. When I wear something from the year before, reporters and netizens would say something. I was uncomfortable with that and was angry. That’s why my words came out the way it did.”
Seriously, ladies. Don’t wear heels to the airport. It would make the screening process so much less painful for everyone else.
Also, this is THE worst place to have a pretend fashion runway ever.
