shineemoon:“I was brought up in a very conservative, traditional household. My parents wouldn’t even let me pierce my ears. After I debuted, I started to notice that whatever we were wearing, our fans — especially female fans — would buy similar things and wear them themselves. That was a symbolic moment for me, seeing no need for boundaries. I would look at what 2NE1 was wearing during a performance and be like, Oh, that looks really cool. I would wear that. For me, there’s no boundary between femininity and masculinity, and I try to be even more natural in my own reactions to people expressing themselves. I modeled for Jill Stuart Accessory Korea. In the photo, I was holding a bag. I didn’t want anyone to think, Oh, I wish my boyfriend would buy me the bag he’s holding. I wanted to look so natural that anyone could say, “I love how that bag looks. I want to buy it.” I’m wishing for a day when seeing women only wearing men’s clothing, just this person doing this and this person doing that, is completely natural and no one will bat an eye.”— Kim Kibum, Allure (Full Interview→ here) -- source link
