Actress Son Ye Jin's dress worn at the 18th Bucheon International Fantastic Film Festival (BIFAN) opening ceremony in 2014 is currently resurfacing online, generating significant buzz even after 12 years. The dress, which starkly contrasted with her then-innocent image, drew considerable attention for its daring design. Specifically, the 'safety pin' appearing to secure the plunging neckline and the sheer skirt have become focal points of discussion.
The dress in question was a silver J. Mendel 2014 Pre-Fall collection piece, characterized by a deep V-neckline extending to the chest. What appeared from a distance to be a simple safety pin at the center of the bust was, in fact, a high-end 'Sophia Pin' from 21Defay, set with diamonds on 18K gold, reportedly valued at around 10 million won at the time. Furthermore, the lower part of the skirt featured a chiffon sheer design, revealing her leg line with every step, adding to its bold appeal.
Bloggers note that Son Ye Jin's dress showcased a surprising charm that contrasted with her pure image. They highlight that while the dress itself was striking, her hair and makeup were kept neat and simple, effectively directing all attention to the outfit. This daring yet balanced styling is cited as the reason why the dress continues to be discussed even after 12 years, with the various unexpected elements within a single photograph sparking considerable interest.
