He did not arrive at the airport dressed to disappear into the crowd.

NCT DREAM member Renjun recently turned heads with an unusually elaborate airport look that looked more like a full runway ensemble than typical travelwear.
The idol wore a sharply tailored black pinstripe suit with dramatically wide trousers, a crisp white shirt, a tie, glossy heeled shoes, and a structured cylindrical hat. He completed the look with glasses and a black quilted handbag featuring a gold chain strap. The super-coordinated outfit quickly gained attention on Korean online communities, where one post discussing his “luxury airport fashion” attracted hundreds of comments.
Some netizens were entertained by the theatrical styling, repeatedly comparing Renjun to a magician or a character who had stepped out of a comic book. Others were less focused on the concept itself and could not get past how warm the layered outfit appeared for the summer weather.
- This is today? Maybe he doesn’t get hot that easily. Given his job, he probably doesn’t walk outside a lot. But the heat was no joke today.
- I don’t even care about the outfit. His makeup… Bro literally forgot to blend from his face to his neck.
- Is he not hot?
- What’s wrong with his makeup, though?
- His outfit isn’t hurting anyone. Let him wear what he wants.
- It’s unique for sure… but it looks hot as hell LMAO.
- I like him and his unparalleled sense of style.
- This has got to be the freshest and most interesting airport look I’ve seen trending on the internet.
- He looks like he’s about to bust out a rose from his hat.
- He can wear whatever he wants because he’s not harming anyone with the outfit. It’s unique. What’s wrong with that?
- Let him wear what he wants. People picking on him for his outfit are tacky AF.
- Anytime I see photos of this guy, I can’t help but wonder what aesthetic he’s going for.
The discussion soon shifted from whether the outfit looked good to whether people had any right to ridicule Renjun for wearing it. Many defended his commitment to fashion, arguing that idols are often criticized for arriving bare-faced or dressed too casually, only to receive the same treatment when they make an effort.
- These comments are not it. Who are you people to criticize him? I’m so sick and tired of Koreans policing other people’s looks.
- What is he, a magician…? You do gotta admit, this is a funky collection. LOL.
- Is he not hot in this weather?! LOL. That’s all I could think about. Maybe it didn’t matter since he was going to be inside right away.
- He’s unique. I feel like China would love him. Maybe he can focus on activities in China. I mean, DREAM has been around for long enough that the members can venture off into individual promotion territory.
- I bet you he can pull out a white dove from under that hat.
- This is just all too funny now.
- Low-key, he looks like a big-name designer in the fashion world.
- Let him wear what he wants LOL. But yes, I also do anticipate a dove emerging from under the hat. He wears a lot of fun stuff. That’s what fashion is all about anyway. Do whatever you feel like doing!
- Stop caring about what other people are wearing. It’s not like he’s indecently exposing himself or anything.
- I don’t know, I’m just worried that he might be overheating in that outfit.
- For me, all of his airport outfits scream RICH, and I’m jealous as hell.
Several netizens also criticized what they saw as an overly controlling attitude toward anyone whose style falls outside conventional expectations. Another wrote that even as a non-fan, they did not understand why a harmless outfit had become grounds for mockery.
Whether viewers loved the outfit or found it excessive, Renjun’s airport appearance clearly accomplished one thing: it got people saying his name!
