Choi Woo-sik and Koo Kyo-hwan, didn't they really receive the dress code?

“Mr. Koo Kyo-hwan, didn’t you receive the dress code?”

This is the question the MC asked Koo Kyo-hwan at the production briefing session for the Netflix movie ‘Gil Bok-soon’ (director Byun Seong-hyun) held on the 21st. Attending the production briefing session on this day were Jeon Do-yeon, Sol Kyeong-gu, Kim Si-ah, Lee Som, Koo Kyo-hwan, and Byun Seong-hyeon.

What stood out on this day was the exchange office. While Jeon Do-yeon and director Byun Seong-hyun were all dressed in black, only Koo Kyo-hwan appeared wearing a yellow checkered jacket. Kyo-Hwan Koo said, "Was there a dress code? I wanted to dress in a good mood. Because it was a pleasant day." Next, to the question, 'What did you think when you saw the other actors' costumes?', he wittily replied, "Oh my."

Previously, Choi Woo-sik was in the same case in the 2020 Netflix movie ‘Time to Hunt’ (director Yoon Seong-hyun). Lee Je-hoon, Ahn Jae-hong, Park Jung-min, and Park Hae-soo, who attended on this day, all wore black suits, but only Choi Woo-sik attracted attention by matching a blue jacket with a red knit.

At that time, Choi Woo-sik also apologized for choosing an outfit with a different mood, saying, "I was just wearing pretty clothes, but I think I wore something too bright," which made people laugh.

So, is there really a dress code for the production briefing session? According to multiple officials, there are special circumstances in which the production briefing session dress code is, but in general, it does not exist. However, in most cases, the design of the event venue's 'photo wall' is shared.

An official told Ten Asia, "There are not many cases where there is a set dress code," and "Usually, for work-related events such as production briefings, we try to wear the most trendy and cool style at the time. Photos are taken as long as they do not deviate from the characteristics of the work." “If you take into account the month, there are many cases where the costumes of the actors in attendance are unified with a similar feel,” he said.

Another official said, “The genre of the work is romance, and when the actors and stylists are close friends, the costumes are coordinated through prior consultation.”

According to the report, 'Hunting Time' and 'Gil Bok Soon' did not have a separate dress code. The fact that Choi Woo-sik and Koo Kyo-hwan showed up to the production briefing alone wearing striking outfits was not because they had not been given a dress code, but was simply a coincidence.
