When it comes to how they pack, dress, or shop, K-pop idols don’t hold back. Some go all in, carrying half their house in a bag, while others stick to the bare minimum. Here’s a look at the K-stars who fully embrace either maximalism or minimalism in their everyday lives.
The Maximalists
1. RIIZE Anton
RIIZE Anton is always ready for anything. Whether it’s a day trip or a full tour, he shows up with a giant bag packed with all kinds of “just in case” items. Airport photos often show him lugging a full arsenal of supplies.
2. BTS Jungkook
Bringing dumbbells in his luggage? That’s just how BTS Jungkook rolls. Even his fellow members were floored to see his dedication to staying in shape while traveling. Talk about taking “prepared” to the next level.
3. 2NE1 CL
CL has always turned heads with her larger-than-life fashion. From chunky jewelry to dramatic oversized coats, she makes maximalism look effortless. Somehow, her looks are loud but never feel cluttered.
4. Big Bang G-Dragon
G-Dragon doesn’t just live fashion—he defines it. On top of his standout style, fans remember his extravagant ingredient wishlist from his appearance on 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator.' Caviar? Foie gras? Truffles? Of course.
5. NCT Wish Sakuya
Sakuya earned his maximalist badge thanks to a backpack decked out with a wild number of keychains. Even staff couldn’t believe how much he carried around. These days he’s toned it down a bit—but the legacy lives on.
The Minimalists
1. RIIZE Eunseok
RIIZE Eunseok lives by one rule: only pack what you need. Compared to Anton’s suitcase-sized bag, Eunseok keeps it tight and practical. Efficiency is the name of the game.
2. BTS SUGA
SUGA is known for his low-key, no-waste mindset. He rarely splurges and always sticks to essentials. Whether he’s budgeting on tour or keeping his personal space minimal, he proves that less really can be more.
3. Kim Jong Kook
Kim Jong Kook takes frugality to another level. From reusing wet wipes to avoiding turning on the heat or AC, he’s often teased for being too stingy. But hey, his savings game is strong.
4. ZEROBASEONE Ricky
When Ricky revealed what was inside his big bag, fans were shocked to find... basically nothing. Even Jaejoong had to laugh. Minimalism at its finest, and maybe just a little mysterious.
