Kai and Jennie caused controversy when promoting the trend of wearing low-rise pants that revealed underwear.

(Dan Tri) - Once a fashion trend favored by men, low-rise pants are now also a way for women to express their personality.

In today's fashion landscape, influencers and celebrities are constantly pushing boundaries, not afraid to experiment with unique styles.

Recently, singer Kai (EXO) became the center of attention when choosing a bold performance outfit.

During the concert soundcheck, Kai wore a simple black outfit, combining an off-shoulder hoodie with jeans. While the off-shoulder hoodie style is a trend favored by many male idols, Kai's outfit received mixed opinions.

The reason is that the waistband of his jeans was pulled down too low compared to his waist, exposing most of his underwear. Many netizens said that this image was too revealing, indecent and not suitable for a concert environment with audiences of many ages. Revealing only the waistband of his underwear gives a completely different feeling than exposing most of his sensitive area (Photo: Koreaboo).

On the other hand, some international fans have come to the Korean singer's defense, saying that the style fits Kai's evolving artistic identity, further emphasizing his willingness to push boundaries and become more daring with age and experience.

They argued that with 12 years in the industry, Kai has the freedom to express himself on stage and in real life (Photo: Kbizoom).

The hoodie-with-wide-leg-jeans formula is reminiscent of singer Justin Bieber's street style era.

In February, the Canadian singer was seen walking down the streets of New York (USA) in a baggy outfit. The oversized jacket was draped over low-rise jeans. Notably, this way of dressing gave the feeling that the pants could fall down at any moment (Photo: GGCG).

Since the early stages of his career in the 2010s, Justin Bieber has been associated with this style of low-rise pants. He has been criticized many times for wearing low-rise pants.

Sagging appears in many different contexts, from everyday life to pictures posted on the internet or fashion magazines. Not only that, this trend of wearing low-rise pants is also welcomed by women.

For example, Jennie (Blackpink) once wore this style when attending fashion events or practicing dancing (Photo: character's Instagram).

Not only stars, many fashion houses also join the trend of wearing low-rise pants. During the Fall Winter 2025 collection show, the Diesel brand introduced a series of jeans and skirts with super low waist (Photo: Reuters).

In the Spring Summer 2024 collection, the Miu Miu brand attracted attention with a series of designs of skirts or bermuda shorts (pants that are knee-length) (Photo: Essence).
