Batik has been approved as an Indonesian cultural heritage by UNESCO in late 2019, and now, it’s not only being loved by us, but also fashion lovers from around the world-wide. South Korea, as we know, has a bunch of annyeong oppas that are too cute wearing batik. From Jungkook BTS to Leeteuk Super Junior, these are 5 Korean celebrities who look adorable wearing one of our heritages.

Sehun EXO

Sehun is one of the idols that wears batik several times, like when EXO was promoting their single Ko Ko Bop in 2017, Sehun looks awesome wearing brown batik. On another occasion, his personality looked stronger wearing black and white batik with a conventional pattern. 

NCT

Who says batik is for nerdy? NCT proves that batik can be trendy and stylish in a smart way.

Kwon Hyun Bin

Alumni of Produce 101 Season 2, Kwon Hyun Bin, wore batik when doing a photo session in one of Korean magazines. Look, how very charming he is in a blue long-sleeve batik shirt.

Kai EXO

Kim Jongin caught wearing a long-sleeve batik when performing in SBS Inkigayo. Combined brown batik shirt with black outer makes Kai look stunning.

Suga BTS

We think Suga succeeds in pulling the attention of his fans through wearing batik. Min Yoongi got this batik from his Indonesian fans, named Novita. Seeing her idol wearing batik from her gift, she directly uploaded the picture of her idol to Twitter. Easy to make people happy, Suga. Well done!
