Leeteuk reveals the reason why most of the outfits for the SMTOWN concert were reused

 

Leeteuk: People are asking whether the outfits at SMTOWN Concert were reused, but this concert actually didn't have a large production budget. If we produce new outfits, it's either going to be taken from the funds for our promotional activities or we bear the cost ourselves. Besides, the number of shows isn't that high anyway. Producing new outfits can cost hundreds of thousands of won.

The reason why I keep explaining this is because this could cause a misunderstanding. If I don't speak up, the stylists will get all the blame.

As the cost of producing outfits is deducted from the concert production budget or the funds for our promotional activities, it would be a waste to make expensive outfits that we only wear once.

That's why we sometimes reuse outfits for some events. We have reasons for reusing outfits, and if we think we've reused it too much, we'll speak up and say, 'This isn't right!'

Please understand the circumstances behind this decision regarding the outfits.

I can totally understand Leeteuk's point. Producing too many clothes can harm the environment... So it's completely understandable to reuse outfits for group concerts like SMTOWN Concert.

-It's not even a solo concert, it's a joint concert... It's weird how people are complaining about the outfits...

-I love how he cared enough to explain this.

-Honestly, this is the right approach... Why make new clothes for a one-time event when they already have so many great outfits?

-Is SMTOWN Concert really a one-time event? I mean... They're also going to Tokyo, LA, Mexico City, etc...

-I'm actually okay with idols reusing their outfits, but fans seem to hate itㅋㅋ For a one-time event like SMTOWN Concert, isn't it understandable...? As long as they're not reusing outfits for their comeback stage, it's fine.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits! It's a waste to only wear them once and wearing old outfits brings back memoriesㅎㅎ

-I actually love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's fun to guess when the last time they wore it.

-With environmental issues going on these days, what's wrong with reusing outfits a bit? Everything costs money these days...

-That's right. I like it because I get to see some outfits that I wanted to see again.

-He explained this so that the stylists wouldn't get blamed. That's very thoughtful of him.

-I fully support idols reusing their old outfits. It saves money, time, labor, and reduces environmental pollution.

-I love it when idols reuse their outfits. It's a waste to only wear something once, especially considering environmental impact it would cost. Besides, those outfits aren't cheap.

-I was so happy to get to see my favorite outfits again.

-If they didn't reuse outfits and raised ticket prices instead to produce new outfits, fans wouldn't like it.

-My fave's stylists got criticized for reusing outfits... So, thank you for explaining.
