Actress Moon Ga-young was in the news again at Incheon International Airport on September 25, but this time for her remarkably humble and elegant fashion sense, a change after recent controversy.
According to KBiZoom, the 27-year-old influencer, who is going to Amsterdam to be a representative for a high-end fashion show, wore a classy, all black look with a fitted jacket, and cargo pants.
The ensemble was styled with furry shoes by a designer that were worth approximately 2.22 million KRW (approx $1,600 USD).

As per Sports Chosun, a witness on the scene commented, "Her long hair flowing in the breeze accentuated the chic ensemble," projecting an air of effortless chic and seasonal-inspired look.
This look was in contrast to her provocative "lingerie airport look" a week before on September 17, when she left for Jakarta, Indonesia.
The outfit had a black lace slip worn under an oversized jacket, with the knee-high boots — an explosive combination that exposed bits of her chest and abdomen.
Then, fans and netizens took a split response. One commented, "This is airport fashion, not a lingerie ad." Another mentioned, "She looks amazing, but the setting doesn't match the outfit."
The scandal prompted a widespread debate on social media about the fashion standards and other standards expected from female celebrities when they are outside.
After the backlash, Moon Ga-young was more careful in her public image. Her most recent outfit, although still trendy and high-end, was in a more conservative vein.
Observers noted the change. One comment stated, "She's proving you can be classy and fashionable without being overly revealing."
Moon's decision to switch back to a more traditional look highlights both her fashion versatility and increased sensitivity to her image as a celebrity.
Along with her style headlines, Moon just finished shooting the legal drama "Law and the City," in which she was lawyer Kang Hee-ji.
She's also coming back to TV as the host of Mnet's new band-formation reality show "Steal Heart Club," which premieres on October 21.
