Jennie and Karina Wear 'Sagging Look' Again... Y2K Fashion Trend with Visible Underwear

The 'sagging' style, where pants are worn below the waistline, is gaining attention again among K-pop idols. This fashion, which started in the 1990s American hip-hop culture, has returned with a sophisticated look alongside the Y2K trend.

The word 'sag' means 'to droop' or 'to sag' in English, and sagging is a fashion where pants or jeans are worn below the waist to reveal some underwear. It spread worldwide in the early 2000s when pop singer Justin Bieber wore it.

Tarzan is gaining attention for his bolder sagging style. In everyday fashion, he wears his pants low, confidently revealing his underwear and exuding his unique free-spirited charm.

In the MBC variety show 'All-Seeing Point of View', he created a buzz with a look where his pants were layered three times, seemingly about to fall off at any moment.

Sophisticated Reinterpretation of Y2K Fashion

Recently, as Y2K (early 2000s) fashion has come back into vogue, sagging is also rising. Unlike before, where pants were excessively lowered, nowadays it is characterized by a low-rise style that slightly reveals the waist in a sophisticated manner.

In particular, members of popular girl groups like BLACKPINK and aespa are reflecting sagging in their stage outfits, creating a significant buzz among the younger generation.
