K-Pop fashion is so diverse. You have everything from the pretty and cute to the dark gothic and punk. One of my favorite Korean girl groups is 2NE1 (pronounced like the number 21). They are known for their "unique and edgy" style. Scott, a global fashion designer, has stated that 2NE1 are his "muses". The girls were spotted recently in the MTV 2012 Video Music Awards in Japan sporting pieces from his F/W 2O12 RTW collection. 
Rumor has it that the total cost of 2NE1's wardrobe for their "Lonely" music video was approximately 200 million won (USD$183,800) and the production cost at 150 million won (~$137,800 USD). After all, all the pieces were from the French brand Balmain. Ah...Balmain. Love. Adore. But cannot afford!
To dress up like the rock chick Dara in the Lonely MV, think graphic tees, motorcycle boots, leather, denim, shredded, destroyed and loads of metal.
Can't have access to one? Make your own like I did.

You can use any kind of graphic tee, or just plain white or black tee.
Dara is wearing Balmain Stars & Stripes painted top.
Minzy is wearing a Balmain studded biker jacket with Balmain Safety-Pin Embellished Printed Cotton Tank.
My DIY version of the biker jacket requires an old denim jacket, faux leather, studs, spikes, safety pins and loads of time and patience.
