The unexpected pairing of British royalty and K-pop is not limited to Eugenie's recent outing

Princess Eugenie made a surprise appearance in Korea on Monday night.

The 34-year-old daughter of Prince Andrew and Sarah Ferguson was spotted at a K-pop concert featuring artist G-Dragon.


The event was part of the Chanel Culture Fund Frieze Seoul 2024 at the Leeum Museum of Art.

Eugenie dazzled in a sleeveless 'Gradient Midi Dress' by London-based designer Peter Pilotto.

The princess was seen filming the performance on her iPhone, as revealed in a clip shared on Instagram.

Eugenie's appearance at the K-pop event highlights her connection to the art world.

As an art director for Hauser & Wirth, a renowned international gallery, she may have attended the Chanel Culture Fund Frieze Seoul 2024 in a professional capacity.

This is not the first time Eugenie has worn the Peter Pilotto dress. Royal fashion fans noted she has sported the gown since 2019, including at a Duke of Edinburgh Gold Award presentation at Buckingham Palace.

It's unclear whether Eugenie travelled alone or with her husband Jack Brooksbank and their two young sons, August and Ernest.

The princess kept her makeup and hair simple for the occasion, opting for loose curls and a warm-toned smokey eye.

The unexpected pairing of British royalty and K-pop is not limited to Eugenie's recent outing.

In November 2023, King Charles presented Honorary MBEs to K-pop sensation Blackpink during a state visit by the President of South Korea.

The monarch invested Blackpink members Roseanne Park, Jennie Kim, Jisoo Kim and Lalisa Manoban as Honorary Members of the Order of the British Empire.

This recognition was for their role as COP26 Advocates at the 2021 Glasgow climate summit.

Eugenie's appearance at the G-Dragon performance and the King's honouring of Blackpink highlight a growing cultural exchange between British royalty and Korean pop culture.

This trend reflects the global influence of K-pop and the Royal Family's efforts to engage with diverse, international audiences.
