[Financial News] As celebrities' outfits at official events continue to spark online attention, netizens have been divided over the one-piece dress worn by actress Shin Jee-won, a former member of the group Berry Good, at a film preview. Shin Jee-won previously promoted under the stage name Johyun.
According to Sports Seoul on the 5th, a video of Shin Jee-won attending the stage greeting at the VIP preview of the film 'Karlovy Vary' the previous day spread across various social media platforms.
In the video, Shin Jee-won was wearing a form-fitting burgundy ribbed knit maxi dress with a crossover V-neck. Attention was drawn to the area around her lower abdomen after it was captured protruding noticeably.
The video reportedly showed Shin Jee-won clasping both hands over the area, seemingly conscious of it herself.
Some netizens speculated that the area only appeared to bulge because of the lighting, audio equipment, or wrinkles in the dress.
Shin Jee-won debuted in 2016 as Johyun, a member of Berry Good. After the group disbanded in 2021, she continued her solo activities before changing her stage name to her real name in 2023 and turning to acting. The comedy film 'Karlovy Vary,' directed by Lee Yong-seok and featuring her, is scheduled to be released on the 9th.
Netizens who saw the video reacted by saying, "I don't know what that bulging thing is," "It looks indecent," "She seems embarrassed herself and keeps covering it," and "Is the stylist her anti-fan?"
