K-Pop has truly taken the world by storm and fashion is no exception.

From what started as a rather niche music&nbsp;genre that is more popular in the Asian region, K-Pop is now truly dominating the mainstream media worldwide with global recognition achieved by idol groups and Korean artists&nbsp;like BTS, Blackpink, IU, EXO and more.

And now the luxury sector has also welcomed them with open arms as records have proven that K-Pop stars have the power of persuasion and the reach to expand audiences and target markets. From Gucci and Louis Vuitton to AMI, Loewe and Dior, here are some of our favourite&nbsp;K-pop stars who has been crowned by international&nbsp;luxury brands as their brand ambassadors.
