The Incheon Music Wave concert 2011 will air on MBC at a later date.

The glitz and glamor of Dream Concert 2011 red carpet took place on 28 May, 2011, at the Seoul World Cup Stadium, just before the concert itself. While most of the ladies and guys showed up in monochromatic outfits or stage outfits (which were rather disappointing), IU and Goo Hara strutted down the red carpet in mini cocktail designer dresses which were absolutely adorable.

The stars who walked the red carpet for Dream Concert 2011 include the MCs Song Joong Ki, Super Junior’s Kim Hee Chul and KARA’s Goo Hara, 2PM, After SChool, 5Dolls, Miss A, K.Will, TVXQ, Rainbow, BEAST, FT Island, f(x), SHINee, Secret, SISTAR, IU, U-Kiss, Eru, G.Na, KARA, T-ara, 4Minute, After School and Jewelry.

Check out Who Wore What below :

Jewelry members, Eunjung, Baby J, Yewon and Semi, were seen in mini dresses and lots of leather and studded details. Their platform sandals were the ones that stole the limelight- Suecomma Bonnie‘s Studded Platform Sandals and what seem like Christian Louboutin‘s Balota 120 glitter-finish multi-strap sandals (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$1095).

KARA’s Goo Hara, one of the MCs of Dream Concert 2011, was seen in Valentino‘s Embellished silk strapless dress, with an exquisitely embroidered lace and bead-embellished bodice and organza rosettes through the skirt (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$11,000).

IU wore 3.1 Phillip Lim‘s Silk-blend organza and lace dress for the red carpet. Delicately contrasting black lace and nude silk-blend organza give 3.1 Phillip Lim’s dress an elegant contemporary spin (available on Net-a-Porter for USD$895)

T-ara, 4Minute, Sistar and Miss A were all seen in monochromatic mini dresses or black pants outfits with platform heels.

G.Na (Gina Choi) was seen in Gucci‘s black stretch cutout detailed jeweled dress with black platform peep-toes heels (available on Bluefly for USD$2319). With simple accessorizing and gorgeous curled hair, I’m absolutely loving this look on her!

After School, Secret, KARA, Rainbow and 5Dolls were seen in their stage oufits for the red carpet.

BEAST, U-Kiss, TVXQ, and Eru chose black smart suits for the red carpet, while SHINee, F.T. Island and K. Will added some colors and designs to their black smart casual outfits. 2PM, on the other hand, were seen with military-inspired trench coats and boots.

If you ask me, Hyuna‘s ultra-sexy concept for her solo single ‘Change’ has rubbed off on the rest of the members. Check out the sizzling comeback photos of Hyuna, Jiyoon, Gayoon, Jihyun and Sohyun below.

MV TEASER PHOTOS

Perched on top of a shiny motorbike, Hyuna wears a ripped, hardware-embellished denim vest, super short fringed shorts, tough accessories and of course, her trademark fiery hair.

And those to-die-for shoes, just in case you were wondering, are from Givenchy F/W 2009. Made from python embossed leather, and with heels studded with stars, spikes and sunbursts. As I said, TO DIE FOR.

Maknae Sohyun seems to be channeling a different kind of biker chick than Hyuna.

In a big, neon graphic shirt, and an awesome pair of Jeremy Scott x Adidas Originals JS Wings rainbow shoes — Sohyun’s look is more of funky street style. She may stick out from the rest of the older members, but being the youngest, this look does well in retaining her fun, youthful vibe.

The pictures are too low-quality to be of good basis, but those shoe strings that are all over Jiyoon’s dress make it a bit ill-fitting. Her thigh-high gladiators though, steal the show, flaunting her nice legs. A bit disappointing, I know their charismatic and sexy rapper can pull off something more than this!

Gayoon, in her lace turtleneck mini dress, and Sohyun in her long and flowy gold satin number, are both looking very luxurious. The two oldest members exude a more mature and elegant style.

OFFICIAL ‘HUH’ PROMOTIONAL PHOTOS

In their official comeback photos, they are looking fine in black, leather, and chunky rings and thick metal cuffs. The set may be simple with its plain gray background, and their color scheme may be dark and toned down, but their high-impact bling more than makes up for that.

In the last set of photos, 4Minute could very well star in the next Fast & the Furious movie as sexy automotive mechanics. The girls look sleek and alluring in tight gray overalls and bare midriffs. Any guy would love to have them in their passenger seat.

4Minute has come a long way from their colorful, candy funky style to their sporty luxe looks today. And if there’s any girl group that has upped their fierceness factor lately and can pull off this dark and sexy style, it’s definitely 4Minute.

What do you think? Are the girls dressing too sexily for their age? Do the gray-and-white photos lack oomph? Leave a comment below!

You’ve seen the men, most of them going for the beast concept or donning the classic suits — but now, let’s get the lowdown on the ladies’ performance outfits for the Dream Concert 2010!

Each year, the ladies’ performances get fiercer and fiercer, as they start shedding their cute images and experimenting with sexier outfits and consequently teasing with more skin. I’m sure the fanboys are not complaining! Who was the fiercest of them all in last night’s ball?

Find out below as we line up the performance outfits of your favorite female KPop idols:

The girls of Rainbow went the schoolgirl route with their song, Gossip Girl.

However, they should have just kept the Blair Waldorf school girl look rather than trying to mix it up with the black and white stripes, because this only ended up making the concept/theme look all over the place. Their outfits were a bit blah and too casual for me. And for something as big as the Dream Concert, there’s really no room for safe dressing.

No change of outfit for our f(x) girls tonight, too!

Like SHINee, their male counterparts in the SM Family, the outfits of f(x) went straight from the red carpet to the stage, wearing amped-up red variations of their Nu ABO outfits. I am loving the girls’ unique, experimental style — you’ve got to admit, they don’t fit into the cookie-cutter styling of other girl groups who are all either: a) cute/girly b) fierce/sexy c) funky/Lady-Gaga-inspired.

Although, Amber? Plaid shorts over jeans? I don’t get it.

The ladies of Davichi were a tad bit underdressed.

White blazer and light denim shorts — while this outfit does look good in general — this is something you’d wear for a dinner with friends, or even to the mall. Not the Dream Concert. Note to Davichi’s stylist: that small amount of gold sequins don’t automatically make anything glamorous.

T-ara transformed into Korea’s cheerleaders that night as they performed their World Cup song.

The fanboys also loved it when they continued to sing Bo Peep in these outfits. While cheerleading outfits are a surefire crowdpleaser, they could have done more variations for every individual’s outfit other than the different pins and brooches they put on their skirts. Also, not a big fan of the huge “Cielo ♥ Egoist” print on their shirts.

Fresh off their first few comeback stages, 4Minute stuck to neutral tones tonight, but still managed to keep things interesting.

I think their stylist/s pulled off a great feat: the girls’ outfits looked mismatched and unique–but similar enough to still look coordinated. Still lacking that extra wow factor though! (Although Hyuna‘s fiery red hair and hot dance skills more than compensates for that!)

And we see a re-appearance of the black and white stripes, this time on the gorgeous women of After School.

It is very disappointing because I’ve seen versions of their drummer girl costumes which are LEAGUES better than these striped, shimmery ones. I personally would recommend their simple red-and-gold or black-and-gold ones, because these drummer outfits (and their bare navels and long legs) are stunning in themselves, and could have looked fantastic onstage.

First look at Kara and the word ‘mermaids’ would probably come to mind.

Okay, while these outfits may seem too gaudy and slinky for most, we have to remember that these are stage outfits. When you’ve got a huge crowd of fans, most of which can only see a dancing speck on stage–the flashier and shinier, the better. Kara made the boldest color choice that night, and that deserves some merit. Although yes, the mermaid-like material is disturbing, and they could have gone with black footwear.

Korea’s original pop princesses are back, but their Dream Concert appearance has me crying 2 Different Tears.

First, I’m crying for joy: I love seeing the Wonder Girls back in Korea! Second, I’m crying because of their outfits! Unflattering light denim + scraps of lace + neon hair add-ons? And this from the girl group who captured the hearts of the entire world in their all-out retro concept for Nobody! Who can forget those iconic colorful mod dresses and those scene-stealing flapper dresses?

Girls, you better step your fashion game up!

Girls’ Generation channeled the King of Pop again that night!

Their Michael Jackson inspired black military jackets with strong, sequined shoulders made the girls look classy and stunning. Their looks were made even more interesting and stage-appropriate with their shiny tank tops and leather knee-high boots. If you noticed, it was the perfect mix of their Run Devil Run and Oh! concepts.

The Queen of KPop is back and looking younger and fiercer than ever!

Really, who else at the age of 31 can pull off this outfit but Lee Hyori? Her military-inspired, tough chick outfit was simple, but nobody can doubt the powerful impression it made! An outfit, indeed, is only as good as how its wearer carries it. And nobody does it like Lee Hyori.

Overall, many of the ladies could have done a lot better. Or is the Dream Concert not as much of a big event as the year-end music festivals? What do you think? Tell us in the comments below!

You’ve seen what the guys were spotted in for the Dream Concert 2010 red carpet. Now, let’s take a look at what the beautiful ladies are wearing on the Dream Concert 2010 red carpet! Seen on the red carpet are f(x), 4Minute, After School, T-ara and SNSD; however, female performers, Rainbow, KARA, Lee Hyori, Davichi and Wondergirls are missing in action.

The ladies’ were all pretty well-dressed for the red carpet- I’m especially in love with their lovely shoes! While SNSD are in pretty little white dresses, 4Minute and T-ara were all glammed up in black, rocker-vibe outfits, and After School, while they were not in a coordinated color, were still looking awesome in their smart casual outfits. f(x), on the other hand, were spotted in the same set of outfit for the red carpet and their performance (a tad disappointing).

No change of outfit for f(x) girls, who went straight from the red carpet to the stage, wearing varied outfits from their Nu ABO album concept. Though no change, I’m still loving their layered, street-styled outfits, especially Sulli‘s monochromatic layered look with her oversized printed jacket.

And yes, I still don’t get Amber‘s plaid shorts over jeans look.

Check out Sulli‘s interesting eye make-up!

4Minute were glammed up in black outfits and gorgeous platform heels and boots. The girls are looking fierce in these outfits that are similar to what they are spotting in their ‘HUH’ Hit Your Heart mini album concept photos.

Red-haired HyunA is seen here wearing the Gucci ‘Venus’ high heel platform sandals.

After School looked sexy in smart-casual outfits on the red carpets of Dream Concert 2010. Cute dresses, hot trousers outfits, and of course, lust-worthy platform heels are seen on the After School members. I have to say that I love their red carpet outfits much more than their ‘cheerleader’ stage outfits.

T-ara were seen in little black dresses (LBD) on the red carpet. Love the peep-toe ankle boots that the girls are sporting; however, the five of them wearing the same pair of heels make the group-look seem weird.

SNSD / Girls’ Generation were all seen in white mini-dresses in different designs. Love some of the cutting and designs of these dresses; however, some of these dresses are either too ‘normal’ or too weird-looking. My favorite would be Yuri’s outfit, and my least favorite would be Tiffany’s (I don’t understand the shredded white strips on the skirting).

Jessica is seen wearing the Christian Louboutin Studio 120 peep-toe pumps.

Kokokoreano’s choice for the best-dressed is After School! Worst-dressed? T-ara.

Tell us what you think.

4Minute is featured in a ‘Sweet Escape in Hong Kong’ photo shoot in High Cut Korea. The photo shoot took place in fashion city, Hong Kong, and 4Minute showcased different sides of them- charismatic looks, relaxing and having fun, and as fashionistas.

4Minute girls, HyunA, Ji Yoon, Ga Yoon, Ji Hyun and So Hyun, are all seen in girly, pretty dresses, but the gorgeous footwear on the girls are the ones that caught my attention.

4Minute’s 8-pages pictorial spread will be available in the 27th issue of High Cut Korea.

After School? 2ne1? No. Its 4Minute!

Well, really… Whats with all these girl bands trying to look “fresh” and end up all looking, well, similar.

Ji Yoon, Ga Yoon, Hyun Ah, Ji Hyun and So Hyun debuted with their ‘unique’ style called The Candy Funky Style.

Can’t say much about the unique part, but I’m pretty inspired by these hot, bright-colored, fun styles of the girls.

Inspired by 4Minute to create a Candy Funky Style outfit, for the days when you feel you need some color in your life:
