Although Han’s waist was shocking enough, netizens quickly noticed something else that showcased the idol’s unreal proportions. Han’s outfit truly allowed his visuals to shine on stage, but with a twist. Rather than having a normal belt, netizens noticed that the Stray Kids member was given a shoelace, which is normally much smaller than a belt.
When the images were posted, netizens couldn’t get over the small detail that had been noticed.

Netizens couldn’t get over the styling and just how much the stylist must be obsessed with Han to give him such an iconic look.
While it’s not certain if the shoelace was used because Han’s waist is so small or not, it definitely accentuated the idol’s proportions. It’s not surprising that the internet was rightly sent into meltdown.
