2023 February 6, “컷아웃 패션, 좀 더 대담해져야 할 때!

- No matter how much she loves fashion, there are a few fashion trends the "Confucianist girl" would simply not embrace. One of them is cut-out fashion. For those who would not let even the slightest bit of skin show, cut-out fashion is considered something of a style only a celebrity would sport.
