This year, the Met Gala will spotlight the Costume Institute’s new exhibition, “Sleeping Beauties: Reawakening Fashion.”
Given that K-pop idols' fame and exposure have been slowly increasing in the industry, fans have naturally grown curious as to whether they've been added to the long list of attendees.
