"You wore both ways so good": Fans heap praise on Kim Tae-hyung's fashion statement
Following his arrival in South Korea, the Love Me Again singer posted a series of pictures of himself sporting the purple sweatshirt on Instagram. In one of the pictures, he was visibly engrossed in deep thought, followed by his confession of wearing his purple sweatshirt the wrong way in France, accompanied by a picture from that location.
At Incheon International Airport, he wore a purple sweatshirt with brown wide-leg pants, a beige beanie, and various accessories, including a necklace. He also took precautions by wearing a white mask, using wired earphones, and waving to fans and reporters who were waiting for him. This is the same outfit he wore in France.
