It’s time for a different kind of Kpopalypse post – this time, Kpopalypse is taking a look at k-pop idols at the Met Gala to see if their outfits meet required standards Find out more below!
An often-repeated question on Kpopalypse livestreams and other content is “good look for her?” or “MRS?” (meets required standards) followed by a random link to some k-pop girl wearing something or other. I don’t know why people give so much of a shit what I think about other people’s appearances but apparently they do. Maybe it’s because Kpopalypse is the only straight male who isn’t scared to actually talk about things like fashion, something that it’s probably hard to find this kind of opinion on because most straight men are worried people will think they’re gay if they talk about that shit. So this post is all about Kpopalypse throwing down his subjective opinions on Met Gala fashions to annoy/entertain/amuse you!
So firstly, what the fuck even is a Met Gala? I am not Metgalalypse so of course I had no idea so I had to educate myself on this important topic. In fact, that’s a lie, I don’t give a single fuck so I didn’t even bother. Who the fuck cares, let’s just look at the outfits. I’ll score them out of 10 just based on how much I subjectively like them because it always really angers people when I subjectively score people on their appearance, which is hilarious. Annoying stupid people is an important part of this website. 8 or above mrs, so let’s go.
Jennie (Blackpink)
Jennie handling this fake-ass conversation here is pretty funny, she’s dripping with caonima attitude:
The other girl: “You look so…”
Jennie: “Thank you! You too!”
Jennie didn’t even wait for that other girl to finish her sentence. It could have been an insult or anything. She clearly doesn’t give a fuck, but if it was me saying it the missing word would have been “crustacean”. I’ll give this a 5 mainly because the seashell-shaped hairdo at least matches the dress.
All of the Blackpink members had different outfits for the after-party. Jennie’s is kind of random op-shop mishmash and I’ll give this a 5 too because the sunglasses look like poop on her.
Rosé (Blackpink)
“The bird stood out”, Rose says. It sure does, the thing stabs her in the arm a few times and even gets caught inside her elbow for a while, she probably should have held the micrphone with the other hand. I bet she was glad to rip that thing off as soon as the yapping and posing out was over with. I’ll give this a 6 but it’d be an 8 if she gave that bird the bird and replaced it with something normal like a belt.
The after-party dress is kind of the same thing but without the bird and with a much different bottom half. Not sure what that massive train at the back is about, how are you expected to party with something like that in your area. 6 again.
Lisa (Blackpink)
Here’s a cool outfit if you’ve ever wanted to feel like there’s a stalker constantly behind you. Having a couple of your own disembodied arms constantly in your perhipheral vision would definitely give any k-pop girl “am I on a boy group street harassment video set” vibes. Having said that if you were harassed on the street for real at least you could rip one of the arms off and beat your attacker to death with it, or fist them with it. 4 with the arms, 7 without (or if they painted some blood onto them).
Lisa’s after-party outfit definitely has pimp vibes, It seems pretty comfortable as long as Lisa didn’t need to look over her shoulder for any reason that night because she’d just cop a faceful of dead animal. It suits her but it’s not really a vibe I like, 5/10 because it looks like it’s made out of my cat and that’s just depressing, I don’t like to be reminded of my cat’s mortality as she’s kind of old these days.
Jisoo (Blackpink)
Jisoo goes for the flower theme, although it’s kind of hard to really see the details. For some reason the flower add-ons trick my eye into thinking the camera is not in focus. Jisoo seems nervous and she mentions she just wants to find the other girls, probably because everyone else around her is some annoying idiot from the fashion world and Jisoo seems like she’s very give-no-fucks and wouldn’t get along with that crowd. Giving her a 7 just to make her feel better for being dragged along to this shit.
Her after-party dress isn’t too bad either but it’s weirdly lopsided at the bottom, not sure if that’s the cut of the dress or maybe she’s just all out of fucks to give. I know a girl who used to sneak goon bags into venues under her dress to save money, she’d lift up her dress and it looked like she was taking a piss but actually she was refilling her drink from the goon bag. This dress here definitely looks like Jisoo is storing a goon bag on one side like my friend did. 6/10 just for caonima vibes. Note that the girl with her in black is Hoyeon from Squid Game series 1 and she’s absolutely killing it but she is not a k-pop so she doesn’t get a separate entry here (yet I found a way to squeeze her in anyway).
Karina (aespa)
Karina doesn’t get an interview probably because her English skills are ass compared to the Blackpinkians but the full outfit is in this video from 5:32. I’ll give this outfit an 8 with the jacket on and 7 without, because the jacket hides the weird stiffness of the front of the dress. That’s probably the fault of the wardrobe department going bezerk with the Bedazzler along the neckline and weighing the fabric down.
Karina’s after party dress just looks normal and good. My girlfriend would rock this dress, if she sees this video she might ask me to track it down and I’d have no clue where to find it. Caonimas you gotta help me locate it if that happens. 9/10.
Ningning (aespa)
People think I’m a cunt and I definitely am but even I wouldn’t talk to a woman like this (at least not without a safeword). Listen to these fuckwits with the cameras. Don’t you just wish you were there so you could grab their equipment and smash it? Ningning at least looks like she’s thinking it. Her formless but quite pretty dress makes Ningning look like one of those fuzzy black wasp larvae that live in trees in the suburbs of my city and squirt acid in your eyes if you get too close. I’d like to see a dress modification so Ningning could spit gobs of hydrochloric acid over the paparazzi, I’ll give her an 8 for this dress as in “ate some stupid cameraman’s face off”.
For the after-party Ningning wore something a bit more bare bones, and actually it’s bare bones indeed because her shoulders completely dominate this dress. She’s definitely been doing her lateral pull-downs at the gym but I think a dress with a bit more fabric on the shoulder straps would have suited her figure better. 6/10.
Ejae
The Kpop Demon Hunters star is ready to hunt some more demons in this chain-mail inspired outfit. I reckon that if you swiped a broadsword into her stomach Ejae wouldn’t even feel it, and I’m not even sure what weapon could even penetrate the stones on that necklace, probably not even one of her own pitch-corrected high-notes. Although she’s all set up for her local medieval LARP I’m only giving this a 6 because I think this dress while sturdy also seems extra-conductive so it could make her vulnerable to lightning bolt spells. Kpop Demon Hunters folks did not do the after-party thing (or if they did I can’t find footage) so no second video here.
Audrey Nuna
Audrey Nuna doesn’t get her own video with a helpful explanation of what the fuck her outfit is about so here she is hanging out with fellow KDH star Ejae covered above. Audrey seems pretty miserable actually, perhaps she hates the paparazzi too, or maybe it’s just because she’s wearing what looks like a gangster outfit covered in the black mold that I just cleaned off my ceiling. I’m pretty sure I saw a few of those black specks move, I guess the fuzzy black wasp larvae are back. I’ll give this a 4 mainly just for psyching everybody out.
Hyoseop
Men are not exempt from scrutiny and objectification here at Kpopalypse.com and Ahn Hyoseop is the voice of Jinu from Saja Boys, the Kpop Demon Hunters boy group. His suit is pretty cool actually although I’m not sure what’s going on with that weird black button/buckle/bullshit thing in the centre. Just unbutton it and let your abs shine, that’s what I think. 7 for effort plus being the only guy in this thing, where are all the other male k-pops. Hey I learned when researching this post that the last Korean male k-pop to do the Met Gala thing was Rain in 2015. He paved the way.
That’s all for this post! Now you know my exciting opinions on the 2026 Met Gala k-pop and the amount of “good look for her” questions in livestreams that I have to grind through will decrease by approximately 0.248% Kpopalypse will return!
