SEVENTEEN’s charismatic leader S.Coups has officially made his much-anticipated debut at the 2025 Met Gala, marking a significant milestone not only for himself but for K-pop’s ever-expanding influence on the global fashion scene. The event, held at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, drew the world’s top celebrities and designers under the theme “Superfine: Tailoring Black Style,” with S.Coups turning heads in a tailored Korean Hanbok-inspired suit designed by BOSS, the luxury fashion house for which he was recently named global ambassador.

Fans and fashion insiders alike had been buzzing with anticipation in the days leading up to the event, as rumors swirled about S.Coups’ attendance alongside other K-pop icons such as BLACKPINK’s Jennie and Rosé. Social media lit up with excitement after S.Coups was spotted at The Mark Hotel, a traditional pre-Gala gathering spot for A-listers, fueling speculation of a potential K-pop crossover moment on the iconic red carpet. While the official guest list remained closely guarded, S.Coups’ appearance was quickly confirmed as he stepped onto the carpet, his modern take on traditional Korean attire drawing praise for its cultural homage and contemporary elegance.

This Met Gala debut is just one of several high-profile achievements for S.Coups in 2025. Earlier this year, he was recognized as a regular member of the Korea Music Copyright Association (KOSCAP), a prestigious honor that highlights his significant contributions to music production within SEVENTEEN and the broader K-pop industry. His role as a songwriter and producer, alongside fellow members Woozi and Vernon, has helped shape the group’s distinctive sound and global appeal, with SEVENTEEN now celebrating their 10th anniversary and preparing for a highly anticipated comeback this May.

S.Coups’ partnership with BOSS further cements his reputation as a style icon. As the brand’s newest global ambassador, he is set to appear in exclusive campaigns and public events, bringing his refined charisma and leadership to international audiences.  “To me, BOSS represents the ultimate in style, elegance, and self-determination. These are values that resonate deeply with me and help to drive my success in my musical career,” S.Coups shared, expressing his excitement for the collaboration and the opportunity to connect with fans worldwide.

As SEVENTEEN continues to break new ground in both music and fashion, S.Coups’ Met Gala debut stands as a testament to the group’s growing influence and the enduring power of K-pop on the world stage. Fans, known as CARATs, are already looking forward to what’s next for their leader, whose blend of artistry, leadership, and style shows no signs of slowing down.
