Hollywood Actor Ansel Elgort Sparks Controversy by Wearing Yukata at Event in Seoul

Hollywood actor Ansel Elgort has sparked controversy after attending an event in South Korea wearing a traditional Japanese yukata.

Ansel Elgort, well-known in South Korea through films such as Baby Driver and West Side Story, participated in an event held in Yongsan the day before yesterday (September 2) dressed in a yukata.

Given that the event was designed to introduce Korean culture and lifestyle both domestically and internationally, his choice of attire drew considerable attention.

It was reported that the event organizers had previously instructed attendees to follow a "cocktail attire" dress code, which signifies semi-formal wear.

Netizens responded with criticisms such as, "Did he get off the wrong flight while transferring?" and "There is a lack of effort to understand the culture."
