The new poster for The Fabulous exudes the intricacies of the fashion industry
As breakups seem to be a looming trend in K-dramas, will these ex-lovers cross paths again at a fashion show venue and spark a connection?
The Fabulous was originally scheduled for release on November 4, 2022, on Netflix but was postponed to December 23 as the country suffered a great tragedy before the original premiere.
On October 29, in Itaewon, 158 people were injured, and several died after a brutal case of crowd rush and stampede. After this, the country announced a national mourning period until November 5.
Fans who thought the series was canceled were filled with joy by seeing the poster after the announcement on November 30.

One exclaimed:
