Happy birthday, Park Bo-gum: inside his unwritten rules of style
His appearance alongside Blackpink's Lisa and BTS's V at Celine's Paris Fashion Week Men's show in June 2022 was proof to his ability to internalise a brand's aesthetic without losing his own identity. The lesson? Authenticity makes any outfit, no matter how high-fashion, feel inherently you . Versatility is key: from red carpet to casual fashion
Park Bo-gum's wardrobe is a masterclass in versatility. On the red carpet, he's often seen in classic, impeccably fitted suits, demonstrating how subtle details—a unique lapel, a patterned tie, or unexpected shoe choices—can elevate a traditional look. He exudes an elegant yet contemporary appeal that always lands him on best-dressed lists.

Yet, his off-duty style is just as compelling. Often spotted at airports or public appearances, he effortlessly blends comfort with undeniable cool. Think oversized hoodies paired with perfectly distressed denim and stylish sneakers.
He consistently turns airport terminals into fashion runways. The lesson here is clear: true style allows you to adapt seamlessly to any occasion, mastering both the formal and the effortlessly relaxed.

Beyond the labels and the trends, Park Bo-gum has an uncanny ability to own every look. It's about the way he carries himself, the quiet confidence that permeates his choices. Even in more experimental moments, he never looks out of place. He commits to the aesthetic, making it feel like a natural extension of his artistic expression.
His personal Instagram further illustrates this point. Glimpses into his everyday style—from relaxed vacation wear to cozy, layered ensembles—show that style is about comfort and self-expression, not rigid rules. He transforms simple pieces into cohesive, fashionable statements that feel genuine and approachable.

Labubu, sneakers and vintage Dior: where Gen Z are putting their money now
2. Sneakers, the original alt asset Long before NFTs, sneakers were the first major 'hype' asset class for digitally savvy young investors. Limited-edition pairs, especially those tied to basketball icons or high-fashion collaborators, can appreciate significantly post-release. A pair of Travis Scott x Nike Jordans, for instance, can triple in value within weeks if kept box-fresh. Gen Z investors not only wear the shoes but treat them as appreciating assets, storing them in climate-controlled boxes, tracking their value through selling apps and flipping them strategically. The rise of sneaker auctions at major houses like Sotheby's and Christie's further legitimises the category—no longer subcultural, it's big business. 3. K-pop photocards and idol merch Photocards, those glossy, wallet-sized portraits included in K-pop albums, have evolved into a bona fide investment category. A rare Jungkook photocard from a 2019 BTS fan meeting can fetch over US$1,000, especially if it's an out-of-print or Japan-only release. Fans track card values through detailed spreadsheets, monitor scarcity in real time and negotiate trades in Discord servers and Twitter threads. Official merch collaborations (like the Starbucks x Blackpink collection) also sell out within hours and appear immediately on resale platforms. For some, it's about emotional connection; for others, it's high-speed arbitrage with a fandom twist. Now read: Chasing K-pop dreams: must-visit spots in Seoul for superfans 4. Digital collectables and NFTs While the 2021 NFT boom has cooled, Gen Z isn't entirely out of the digital collectables game. What's changed is the criteria: aesthetic-driven 'PFP' projects are out, and utility-driven tokens are in. NFTs tied to exclusive event access, gaming perks or digital identity verification are gaining traction. Platforms like Zora, and even Nike's .SWOOSH are launching Web3 projects that combine collectability with tangible value. Still, risks remain high—rug pulls and overpromises are common, and liquidity can disappear overnight. Gen Z investors navigating this space are savvier now: they're asking about roadmap execution and community governance, not just hype. 5. Designer resale and vintage luxe Luxury fashion has become another investment frontier for Gen Z. Instead of buying new, many scour platforms like The RealReal, Grailed and Vestiaire Collective for vintage or archival pieces with appreciating value. A 2000s-era Dior Saddle bag or a rare Rick Owens jacket can generate significant profit if resold at the right time. TikTok trends can trigger sudden spikes in demand, so investors monitor what's gaining traction and act fast. Increasingly, they're blending fashion knowledge with financial literacy, seeing fashion not just as personal expression but portfolio diversification. Items are tracked, appraised and even insured—just like any other asset. In case you missed it: Is your designer bag verified? The Digital Product Passport is the smart tech redefining authentic luxury For Gen Z, investing isn't just about compound interest or retirement planning—it's about identity, community and access. And for now, a Labubu on a shelf isn't just decoration, but part of the strategy.

7 things to know about BTS member Suga
Suga's stage name has an interesting origin story Above A snapshot from Suga's audition for BTS (Photo: Youtube / Big Hit Entertainment) Min Yoongi's stage name 'Suga' came about in a unique way. Part of it is an abbreviation of the basketball term 'shooting guard,' the position he plays. Another part of it is a reference to his pale skin and sweet smile, which led the Bighit CEO Bang Si-hyuk to suggest the stage name Suga. He transforms his struggles into the basis of his songs Above BTS member Suga filming the music video for his song "Amygdala," from the album D-Day (Photo: Facebook / BTS) Above BTS member Suga filming the music video for his song "Amygdala," from the album D-Day (Photo: Facebook / BTS) While working a part-time job as a delivery boy in 2012, Suga was hit by a car and received a shoulder injury. He has also undergone significant mental health challenges through the years, including anxiety and depression. He has openly discussed his healing journey through such songs as Amygdala and Snooze . Through these songs, he encourages listeners to open up to their loved ones about their struggles and remain hopeful in the face of their difficulties.

The first four letters are an inversion of his stage name Suga. The last two letters stand for Daegu Town, of which Suga is a local. Long before BTS went on hiatus, he started to pursue his rapping career through such albums as 'Agust D,' 'D-2' and 'D-DAY.' After his world tour concluded in 2023, his sold-out shows in North America and Asia made his concert tour the first, highest-grossing concert by a Korean soloist. He was also the first rapper in history to earn over $3M in a single-arena concert. His North American record was recently surpassed by BTS member j-hope. Suga has collaborated with a wide range of artists Above BTS member Suga with his frequent collaborator and close friend, Halsey, after a performance of "Lilith" for the videogame "Diablo" (Photo: X / BTS) Suga originally wanted to join Big Hit as a producer before being persuaded to take an idol route.

Internationally, he has also collaborated with a range of artists such as Halsey, Juice WRLD and Ryuichi Sakamoto. Suga is one of the wisest, most knowledgeable BTS members Above All 7 BTS members (Photo: Weverse) Whichever BTS member you ask, they repeat the same sentiment: that when they need answers to random questions or want trivia, they immediately turn to Suga. Although he is seen as soft-spoken and reserved, he is always ready with unexpected, engaging facts. As a member of the hyung (older) line, the members often turn to him for sound advice, which Suga is known for delivering in a straightforward, concise manner. He has a YouTube drinking show called 'Suchwita' Photo 1 of 4 BTS member Suga on the set of his drinking show "Suchwita" (Photo: IMDB) Photo 2 of 4 BTS Suga with his bandmate Jimin on set at an episode of "Suchwita" (Photo: X / BTS) Photo 3 of 4 BTS Suga with his bandmate Jin on set at an episode of "Suchwita" (Photo: X / BTS) Photo 4 of 4 BTS Suga with members of Tomorrow X Together Taehyun and Yeonjun on set at an episode of "Suchwita" (Photo: X / BTS) Despite his introverted nature, Suga made an excellent host on the drinking show Suchwita . This was an opportunity for Suga to showcase his more playful, witty side, engaging guests in thought-provoking and entertaining conversations. Running from December 2022 to February 2024, Suga hosted a wide range of guests on his show. These included his bandmates RM and Jungkook, as well as other Korean artists like Woozi of Seventeen, Yeonjun and Taehyun of Tomorrow X Together, and more.
