NYT selects New Jeans as the most stylish person of 2023... The White House also included President Yoon Seok-yeol.

President Yoon Seok-yeol and girl group New Jeans were selected as one of the 71 most stylish people of the year by the American daily New York Times (NYT).

NYT revealed the most stylish people of the year on the 6th (local time), among which Korean President Yoon Seok-yeol and New Jeans were named.

NYT posted a photo of President Yoon singing 'American Pie' at the White House during his state visit to the US on April 26 and commented, "His flawless performance of 'American Pie' at the White House rivaled 'American Idol'." During his visit to the US last April, President Yoon became a hot topic by passionately singing American folk rock singer Don Maclean's 'American Pie' at the White House State Dinner.

NYT also said about the background of New Jeans' selection, "New Jeans members wearing rabbit ear hats rose to the top of the Billboard charts with a sound inspired by R&B in the late 1990s and early 2000s." “He stood out in many ways, including becoming the first singer to perform at ‘Lollapalooza.’” New Jeans performed at Lollapalooza, a large music festival held in Chicago, USA last August. In relation to this, Rolling Stones, a music media outlet, commented, "New Jeans debuted on the American stage through Lollapalooza in Chicago. New Jeans, a five-member girl group that created a teenage K-pop sensation, was fully prepared to receive the spotlight." There is a bar.
