U.S. actor Ansel Elgort drew criticism in Seoul after wearing a traditional Japanese yukata to the CJ NIGHT in Celebration of Frieze Seoul event at the Leeum Museum of Art in Yongsan District, Seoul. The gala was held Wednesday and celebrated Frieze, which began in the United Kingdom in 2003 and chose Seoul in 2022 for its first Asian edition. Korean fans said the garment was unrelated to Korea and noted the event called for cocktail attire. High-profile Korean attendees included Lee Byung-hun, Lee Min-jung, Lee Jung-jae, Park Chan-wook and G-Dragon.
