Airport fashion was already in the fashion scene since what, maybe when celebrity/entertainment news was created. It makes me curious though that upon googling airport fashion, there isn't an exact definition. The way I see it, the world assumes it's common sense; what's not to get. There's nothing to complicate about it. Airport fashion (noun): what choice of outfits people wear going to the airport. Simple as that. It's just that it becomes a big deal since it involves famous names and celebrities.

Paying more attention to today's time, it seems Koreans gives very special interest to airport fashion, popularized it further and has somehow made it a "Korean trend". Korean stars deem this an oppurtunity to show their fashion tastes with the latest fashion trends. The sunglasses, shoes, and bag should be on point matching with the outfits. A few years back when I was just starting to like Kpop, I often saw articles and posts related to this topic. I thought because they are well-loved stars, fans would naturally want the latest updates about them but soon after, I realized the main idea of the articles and posts are, yes, other than reporting on where the celebrities are headed to do what activities, it was actually to check out what they wore at the airport. Reporters would take zoomed and full body shots like it was a red carpet event or a movie premiere (this might be a little exaggerated but I really think it's that of a big deal to them).
Despite all these, it seems Korean stars have already accepted and been accustomed to this behavior. However, to be honest, I feel very uncomfortable for them when talking about this matter. Instead of choosing comfy clothes to wear on their long plane travels, they have to make themselves presentable to the public eye despite just going to the airport and sitting on a plane.
