Besides

City together with other Korean stars.
In
an interview with Billboard.com before the gala, Siwon said he couldn't believe
it that he was going to attend the event.

"I
can't believe it. Last year, I attended the gala at LACMA. I saw Tom Hanks and
Jack Nicholson. I felt like I was watching a movie. I just can’t believe it.
I’m very honored and very proud,” he said.
Siwon
posted a photo of himself in a suit at the Met Gala on Twitter. Siwon has 3.49
million fans on Twitter, becoming the No. 1 Korean celebrity with the most
number of followers.
He
said in fashion, the most important to him are confidence and expressing one's
self.
"The
most important parts of fashion to me are confidence and expressing who I am.
If I have those things in anything I'm wearing, then I can be more comfortable.
Fashion is confidence from me. If I’m comfortable in everything I'm wearing,
then I can do better," he told Billboard.com.
After
the Met Gala, Siwon immediately left New York City to fly to Singapore.
There
he attended the Chanel Cruise collection fashion show presented by the brand's
head designer Karl Lagerfeld held at the Loewen Cluster.
Besides
Siwon, other stars who attended the fashion show were Dakota Fanning, Korean
actress Jung Ryeo Won, Chinese actress Gwei Lun-Mei and Zhou Xun and
Singapore's Fann Wong and Kit Chan.
Last
year, Lagerfeld took photos of Siwon for VMAN magazine. Siwon told VMAN he was
impressed with Lagerfeld.
"I
was impressed with his comfort, friendliness, and caring heart," Siwon
said.
In
the interview with Billboard.com, Siwon talked about Super Junior's Super Show
5 tour in South America.
"South
America was amazing, very powerful. We didn't imagine they like K-pop there and
they loved it! The fans always make amazing moments for us. I just have to
mention how appreciative I am."
Siwon
thanked fans for their support.
"I
just want to say, always thank you. Now, it's not that Super Junior and I are
singers or actors for the fans. We're family. I'm so appreciative for all the
good memories and teaching us true love," he said.
