Okay, fashion fam, let’s talk about Chae Soo Bin’s latest look — and why it stirred up such a buzz.
On July 23, the actress was everywhere: from radio show promotions to the premiere of Omniscient Reader. For the big day, she showed up in a floral-print dress. At first glance, you’d think, cute print, romantic vibe. But the cut? Way too oversized. Instead of highlighting her frame, it swallowed it whole, leaving her looking more like she was lounging at home than walking into a drama premiere. The kicker? That dress was worth a cool 1.01 million won.
To complete the look, she went with chunky black boots, minimal in design with just a buckle detail — around 279,000 won. But here’s the problem: the boots felt too heavy next to the delicate dress. Instead of balance, the combo clashed, and the outfit lost that effortless charm we know Soo Bin can pull off.
And honestly? That’s why everyone’s talking. Not because the look wowed, but because it felt mismatched. The dress grabbed the spotlight for all the wrong reasons.
On a brighter note, the drama she’s promoting — Omniscient Reader — is killing it in theaters right now. The story flips reality when a decade-long novel suddenly comes to life, and stars like Ahn Hyo Seop and Lee Min Ho join Soo Bin in the survival tale. So while the outfit might have been a miss, the project itself is a big win.
Fashion lesson of the day? Even million-won dresses can flop if the styling doesn’t align.
