Recently, a viral post on X criticized San’s outfit at a 2024 fashion show by the brand Dolce & Gabbana, implying that the brand’s decision to make him wear the piece was humiliating. It was the idol’s debut appearance at a fashion show for the brand, where he sported a body armor-styled chest plate harness from their Alta Sartoria and Gioielleria collection.

The post, which has garnered over five million views on the platform, has triggered some heated opinions about this particular look. Some netizens targeted the idol for his lack of “aura” instead of the fashion choice.

However, many also raised concerns of possible racist undertones in the way the brand treated San and other K-Pop idol ambassadors in the past.

I still can’t get over the shock of these fashion show outfits.

Moon Ga Young in an underboob top, Doyoung in a tank top… it’s just awkward for both the people wearing them and the people looking at them.

Didn’t Dolce & Gabbana get forced out of China a while back for releasing a photoshoot that was racist toward Asians? Seems they still haven’t mended their ways…

Fans, however, defended the idol, pointing out that this out of the box outfit brought San a huge amount of international attention simply because how well he carried the piece.
