Fashion is a staple of K-pop. The fans gobble up looks from concept photos, red carpets from award shows, and live stages. However, there’s no place that is more of a runway for K-pop idols than Korea’s own Incheon and Gimpo Airports. Airport fashion is an important aspect of K-pop fan culture, as it gives the idols a chance to showcase their personal styles or do something fun as a group. Regardless of how the idols dress, fans will, in fact, be eating it up. It even gets to the point of fans wanting to steal some of their favorite idols’ looks. Unfortunately, with some of these idols wearing pieces that cost hundreds or thousands of dollars, it can be challenging for fans to recreate the looks on a budget.
The THP team has picked out 8 of our favorite K-pop airport fashion looks to recreate at home without breaking the bank.
For the sake of the article, we are going to assume everyone has some staple items. 1 pair of dark wash jeans, 1 pair of light wash jeans, 1 black t-shirt, 1 white t-shirt, and 1 pair of each black and white sneakers. Now without further ado, here are 8 of our favorite masculine K-pop airport fashion looks to recreate at home.
Oneus’s Keonhee
Oneus’s main vocalist slayed at Incheon International Airport in a denim jumpsuit, chunky black sandals, and a simple brown belt to break up the jumpsuit. He also put a silver keychain on his belt to accessorize in the simplest way.
If you’re wanting to recreate this look at home, we have found the following. A similar jumpsuit can be found here on Shein, in the Drop Shoulder Flap Pocket Denim Jumpsuit, which costs $24 USD. Sandals can be found on Shein as well, and they will cost you $23 USD. We found this belt on Amazon for $10. The keychain can be anything that you want, as it’s a way to add your personal flair.

Seventeen’s Jeonghan
Members of the 13-piece group Seventeen are known for their impeccable sense of style, and Jeonghan’s simple oversized pink shirt, which was paired with light wash jeans, a white t-shirt, and white sneakers, was nothing short of perfect. The shirt we found on Amazon will cost $25, but using the staple pieces from home, it should be all that needs to be bought to recreate this casual look. What’s also great is if pink isn’t your color of choice, the shirt on Amazon has a number of other color options available.
Seventeen’s DK
Seventeen’s DK showed up to the airport with a casual look that would be perfect for a non-idol to wear during a simple day out or to school. All you need for this look is a simplistic graphic t-shirt, one of which we found here, dark jeans, and a pair of high tops, which we found for $23. What’s good about this look is the possibilities are endless. By switching up the graphic t-shirt and the shoes, you can wear different versions as often as you want!
Seventeen’s The8
The8 is typically regaled as one of the most fashionable K-pop idols. With his simple touristy look, all you need to steal his fashion sense is a hoodie with a pop of color, and a fanny pack. A suitable hoodie can be found here on Shein for $13, and the fanny pack to hold your necessities like this is only $5. It wouldn’t be a The8 look without customizing your jeans and shoes with doodles that match your personality. To do that, we found this pack of 48 permanent markers from Amazon that would cost you $20.

To recreate this look, all you need is the turtleneck, which we found here for $9, and a jacket that can be a pop of color.

SHINee’s Jonghyun
Jonghyun, the powerhouse main vocalist from SHINee, was always known for having great airport fashion as well. This all-black monochrome look is something simplistic, but it still is worthy of something to recreate. The simplistic approach to a look also means that it will be easy to wear at home. To wear the look, you will need a black leather jacket, one we found here for $32, a simple black hoodie, much like this $10 one from Shein, and a pair of large black sunglasses like these ones we found for $5.
SHINee Onew
SHINee’s Onew is known for his more laidback, even paternal fashion sense, and this is no secret. All you need to recreate his relaxed airport look, besides a couple of items from your closet, is a fun patterned button-down that will make a dad on vacation proud. We found two options on Shein, one here for $14 and one here for $12.
