K-Pop superstar Jaehyun from the group NCT attended Prada‘s summer 2025 show held in Milan during Milan Fashion Week today. Other notable attendees included fellow K-Pop star Sana from Twice, Matt Bomer, Venus Williams, Joe Alwyn and Woo Seok Byeon, among others.

Sat front row, the singer sported a pair of chunky Monolith brushed leather boots hailing from the Italian designer brand. Retailing for $1,470, the ankle-length style featured elasticized high-shine brushed leather uppers, chunky platform-esque rubber lug soles and logo detailing. The rugged silhouette is futuristic and dynamic, updating the ankle-length lug sole style with striking detailing. The boot silhouette offered Jaehyun’s ensemble a grungy touch, diversifying his otherwise neutral and minimalistic ensemble.

Prada features a variety of Monolith styles, from loafers and Chelsea boots to lace-up oxfords and boots fitted with zip-up compartments. The line is a favorite of many celebrities and K-Pop idols alike, including Chrissy Teigen, NCT, Nina Dobrev, Hunter Schafer, Lori Harvey and Keith Urban, among others.

Offering his take on a Canadian tuxedo, the “Try Again” singer wore a denim-on-denim look in a dark wash. The star’s ensemble was comprised of an oversized denim jacket and matching baggy jeans fitted with silver metal button closures. Rounding out his look, Jaehyun wore black sunglasses.

Comprised of over 20 members, NCT is divided into five different sub-units: NCT U, NCT 127, NCT Dream, WayV and NCT DoJaeJung. The group debuted in 2016 under SM Entertainment with double digital singles “The 7th Sense” and “Without You.”

Doyoung is a member of NCT DoJaeJung, a subunit of NCT. The subunit consists of Jaehyun, Doyoung and Jungwoo. The trio debuted with their song “Perfume” in April of 2023 and was met with major success. Their EP of the same name includes six songs including “Kiss,” “Can We Go Back” and “Dive” among others.
