Among the esteemed guests was Lee Yu Bi, the older sister of the bride, who adorned herself in a striking pink tweed suit paired with a matching bag. However, her choice of attire stirred controversy, leading to accusations of her being a ‘bad wedding guest’ in the eyes of many.
In Korean culture, there exists an unspoken rule that guests should not overshadow the bride, often adhering to muted colors or understated outfits to maintain the focus on the newlyweds. Consequently, Lee Yu Bi faced criticism for her vibrant outfit, with even her mother, Kyeon Mi Ri, drawing some flak for donning a similarly bold shade, albeit in a hanbok, as mothers of the bride are expected to dress in pink.
Fast forward to March 19, 2024, and Lee Yu Bi made an appearance on the episode of Strong Heart VS. Amid discussions about her upcoming drama, the second season of ‘The Escape Of The 7’, titled ‘The Revival Of The 7’, the actress addressed the infamous wedding controversy.
In a candid revelation, she disclosed that her sister, Lee Da In, had personally selected the attire for her, wanting to match it to Lee Yu Bi’s signature style. Due to her hectic filming schedules, Lee Yu Bi had been unable to accompany her sister on the shopping and instead received a photo of the purchased pink suit later on.
Furthermore, Lee Yu Bi addressed her unconventional hairstyle at the wedding, explaining that she had opted to wear a wig due to her exclusive use of wigs for filming purposes. With time constraints preventing her from restyling her hair, she chose the most ordinary-looking wig from the set and donned it for the occasion.
Expressing her bewilderment at the public’s perception of her as a ‘bad wedding guest’, Lee Yu Bi emphasized that she had simply honored her sister’s wishes by wearing the outfit chosen for her.
