Hollywood actor Ansel Elgort raised eyebrows after showing up in traditional Japanese attire to an event in Seoul meant to showcase Korean culture.

Elgort wore a yukata, a traditional Japanese garment, to the "CJ Night in Celebration of Frieze Seoul" event at the Leeum Museum of Art in Yongsan District, central Seoul, on Wednesday.

CJ Group hosted the event to celebrate the start of Frieze Seoul, an international art fair that runs from Wednesday through Saturday. Some pointed out that Elgort's choice of dress was inappropriate, given that the event was intended to showcase Korean culture and lifestyle to domestic and international guests across the art scene.

1. Is he here thinking it's a Japanese onsen? F*ck

 2. Inviting a s** offender to promote Korean cultureㅋㅋㅋ

3. Who is the r*tard who organized this event and invited this crazy f*cker? Seriously who is it

4. You should have turned him away at the door, saying the outfit didn't fit the dress code

5. People in this country are weak-mannered; that's the only reason he's still breathing. Anywhere else, he would've been shot

6. Nugu?

7. I want to hurl every curse word in the book at the traitor who invited that piece of trash and infuriated the entire nation

8. That's the kind of person who'd go to Poland and give a Na*i salute... He has absolutely no sense of social decency

9. You crazy bastard, you're finished in Korea forever

10. Why are we calling a nobody f*cker that nobody even knows about?

He said

the fault in our wardrobe

his katy "nails did all japanesey" perry moment.

And one time I wore denim to a Chinese buffet

Ansel Elgort? That's still on the charts??

He has no Korean friend or PA to check on what his wearing? yeah this is very white behavior

looks like he smells

He said minna saiko arigato, k-k-kawaii.

He said:

So offensive knowing Japan's colonization history against Korea/other Asian countries. Why would he do this even after the event organizers told him the dress code?

By the way, that's not even a formal kimono. That's literally a bathrobe.

This thread. We're all set for hell.

Hadn't seen his name since Iggy Azalea was a thing

On the 2nd pic, He's wearing a casual kinagashi, which looks so informal and the way he's wearing it; so ill-fitting.

His girlfriend/baby mama is Japanese so she must've put him up to it

Me wearing my Muji kimono loungewear in navy blue to H Mart

the nerve to not even be a dress kimono

Why can't he just wear a suit...

For formal events, if you have no Idea on what to wear. A Suit or a black dress is the safes option.

His Stylist needs to get fired for being ignorant as well. These new Gen of stylists are becoming too lazy to do their due diligence.
