Winter, Ian, and BoA are facing backlash after wearing the same red dress at different events.
TheQoo fans noticed the identical outfit on three SM Entertainment artists across three months.
Winter from aespa wore the ruffled red dress first in May. In July, Hearts2Hearts’ Ian was spotted in the exact same look. Most recently, BoA donned the same dress in August.
The dress features a layered ruffle skirt with a bold train, paired with socks and heels. Fans pointed out it’s not just a similar style—it’s the exact same dress being reused.
Some are disappointed SM isn’t offering unique styling for each artist:
“Why are they recycling the same outfit?”
“They’re getting lazy with this…”
“At first I thought it was just a similar style, but they really are reusing the same outfit?”
“The clothes are pretty, and it especially suits BoA. But why does the same company have three people wear the same thing…ㅠㅠㅋㅋ”
“Why do they keep reusing outfits like this…”
Others defend the move as practical and eco-friendly:
“Well, it’s better than just wearing it once and tossing it out… and it’s still pretty, right?”
The debate over this red ruffled dress is heating up as one of the most talked-about stage outfits of the summer.
