Before we begin, let us take a moment to remember those who lost their lives during the Halloween celebration held in Itaewon in 2022. The Daebak family extends our deepest sympathy to the families of those who lost their loved ones, and we wish you comfort and courage during this difficult time.
Halloween is that time of year when you get to recreate a costume from your favourite shows, books, and celebrities. If you are a K-drama fan and stuck on what to wear, you have come to the perfect place. In this post you will find Korean drama outfits and K-drama costumes such as those worn by your favourite oppa, because if you cannot have him, then this is your time to dress as him.
From hit titles like Squid Game to Little Women, today we are sharing five K-drama Halloween costumes that you can wear for Halloween.
5 K-Drama Halloween Costumes at a Glance
- Red Guard, Doll, Competitor, or a Finalist from Squid Game
- Cha Hyun-soo or Lee Eun-hyuk from Sweet Home
- Blue Scrubs from Hospital Playlist
- Healer / Ji Chang-wook from Healer
- Jin Hwa-young from Little Women
1. Red Guard, Doll, Competitor, or a Finalist from Squid Game
Loved by many, Squid Game tells the story of people in deep financial trouble who mysteriously receive an invitation to take part in a series of children's games for a chance to win 45.6 billion won, aka a LOT of money.
Every character on the show carries a degree of creepiness and tragedy, so it is no wonder you would want to dress as a Squid Game character for Halloween. From the show you could dress as a red guard, the doll, a competitor, or one of the finalists.
Red Guard
This outfit involves a simple red jumpsuit paired with a mask. You have a choice of three styles for the mask: circle, triangle, and square, which denote a worker, soldier, and manager respectively. And if you are an ARMY, this choice is perfect for you since BTS's V also wore the red guard outfit during the Permission to Dance concert.
Doll Outfit
If you choose to dress as the Doll from Squid Game, you will terrify anyone who sees you. What appears to be a cute and innocent doll is actually the one calling the shots in the most deadly round of Red Light, Green Light. Are you a Blink? Lisa from BLACKPINK has rocked this look on Instagram and her poses are spot on.
Competitor Tracksuit
You also have the option of dressing as one of the 456 competitors from Squid Game. The competitor tracksuit is a great pick if you want comfort, and you can pair it with any number on the chest, from 067 (Sae-byeok) to 456 (Gi-hun).
The Finalists
If you want your Squid Game Halloween costume to stand out, dressing as one of the finalists is the way to go. Put on a tuxedo, then add fake blood, dirt, and ruffled hair to complete the look. If you are dressing as Sae-byeok (067), do not forget the blood splatters near your stomach.
Choosing to dress as a Squid Game character is especially perfect if you are looking for group costume ideas. It will be fun deciding who is a competitor and who is a guard, and you can even theme your party around the show.
2. Cha Hyun-soo or Lee Eun-hyuk from Sweet Home
A horror series that follows a troubled teenager who finds himself in the middle of a monster apocalypse, Sweet Home is an excellent choice for a Halloween costume. Dress as Cha Hyun-soo or Lee Eun-hyuk and bring the Green Home apartment chaos to your party.
Bonus tip: darken your under eyes, which may already be tired from late-night binge-watching, with some makeup and add a touch of fake blood. Mess up your hair a little to keep up with the post-apocalyptic mood. Perfect if you are a low-maintenance person.
3. Blue Scrubs from Hospital Playlist
If you want to go for a comfier K-drama costume, then the blue scrubs outfit from Hospital Playlist is for you. This cosy look matches the autumn season perfectly, and you can even round up four friends to go as the full five-doctor band.
Blue scrubs are easy to find online or at any uniform shop, and you can add a stethoscope, a clipboard, or even a guitar as a nod to the doctors' band.
4. Healer / Ji Chang-wook from Healer
If you are a big fan of Healer or Ji Chang-wook, you will want to recreate this look. The outfit belongs to Seo Jung-hu, played by Ji Chang-wook, and it is pretty easy to put together. Just throw on an all-black outfit, make sure to wear a hoodie, and pop on clear glasses, and you are set.
This is one of the lowest-effort, highest-impact costumes on the list. If you already own a black hoodie and joggers, you are basically there.
5. Jin Hwa-young from Little Women
We had to put this K-drama on the list of Korean drama outfits. Little Women is a drama packed with twists and mysteries, and if you enjoyed the show then you should consider this outfit for your K-drama Halloween costume.
This outfit comes from the moment Oh In-joo discovers Jin Hwa-young after her death. We never see the full outfit in detail in the show, but do not worry, that only adds to the mysteriousness of your Halloween look.
The Korean drama outfit gives you the flexibility to interpret the look as long as you have the three features that make Jin Hwa-young recognisable: a long dark fur coat, a pair of red heels, and the small tattoo on her ankle.
