I was aware that the popular Hallyu K-pop awards show MAMA (Mnet Asian Music Awards) took place in cosmopolitan glittering Hong Kong last week. It came to my attention when the ratings took a big noticeable dip for Pinocchio, meaning the viewers for that drama skew young and that night the group tuned into the 2014 MAMA’s instead. Nothing wrong with that but I myself didn’t get around to scouring the net to see who attended until the weekend and color me hella surprised to just how many Korean actors and actresses attended the event.
I did know Yoon Eun Hye was going since she got snapped at the airport looking sartorially bipolar unsure whether she was going to the mountains (giant parka on top) or the beach (short shorts on bottom). She did the same with her awards dress but in general the ladies really did light up the red carpet with IU pulling off ladylike fun, Kang Sora making a thirty buck H&M dress look like a million bucks on her body, Choi Ji Woo showing how its done with a classy older actress glam, and newbie Kyung Soo Jin going for pretty but overdoing the pink. Check out the surprisingly jam-packed K-acting contingent red carpet pics below.

Gorgeous YEH!!! 3 photos in a row!Ms. Koala really loves YEH! haha
The ladies are generally lovely. IU's dress is gorgeous. But Park Min Woo's clown suit... Lol.
If i didnt know it was MAMA I Would have thought it was a drama awards night with all the actor an actresses in attendance. But they all look really gorgeous!
Kang Sora rocks the $30 dress and it looks like million dollar baby! daebak!
ps : the pic of choi ji won and her boys, omooo.. i like it!
Lol, andy lau fans?
Today I learned a new fashion term "sartorially bipolar" hahahahaha
I'm at lost for words Mz. Koala.... you're simple fantastic
I'll keep trying to entertain~
To be fair to YEH, the $9K gown she wore while singing on stage looked REALLY good on her. :)
Anything would have been better than looking like a warrior female gladiator with half her battle outfit lopped off.
I'm disagreeing with you again.... I like the dress..... gives a bit of edge to the red carpet... and completely contradicts her fuchsia dress that she wore on stage....
Lee Dongwook tho. haha..
YES. His pants matched his lipcolor and the highlights in his hair.
The. Horror.
Is Korea's current makeup trend the "dewy" look? Istg everyone looked so shiny/oily instead while presenting on stage.
I'm guessing, yeah. 'Dewy' was all the rage when I visited Asia. I agree that it looks oily and nasty. *head shake*
This current unholy trinity of oily + too much aegyo sal + gradient lips = UGH EW
Not my favorite red carpet event, fashion wise.
The ladies' dresses are either boring and shapeless (the matronly satin gowns) or victorian slutty (old-school lace that looks cheap and seedy).
Plus everyone looks either depressed, oily, or both.
