Actor Kim Seon-ho is drawing attention not just for his latest Netflix series, but for the quietly polished outfits worn by his character that have fans dissecting every detail.

On Jan. 28, Kim shared multiple photos and videos from the filming site of “Can This Love Be Translated?” on his personal social media account, posting only a short caption that read, “Oro~ra~ah~~” — likely in reference to the aurora the cast reportedly saw while filming in Alberta, Canada.

In the images, Kim wears an outfit from the show consisting of a dark-toned long coat layered over a beige turtleneck knit, creating a restrained yet sophisticated look. The coat’s relaxed, flowing silhouette adds an effortless elegance, while the clean turtleneck brings balance and structure, resulting in a classic winter styling that feels intentional.

Paired with jeans, the outfit avoids excess and leans into understated casualwear, presenting a textbook example of how minimalist layering can elevate everyday fashion. Against the natural backdrop of Lake Louise, the muted color palette enhances the calm, stable mood of the look. Posing naturally with his hands in his pockets in front of lakes and mountains, Kim’s relaxed expression and styling evoke scenes from the series itself.

Released on Jan. 16, the Netflix romantic comedy follows Joo Ho-jin as he becomes the interpreter for global top star Cha Mu-hee (Go Youn-jung), setting the stage for an unpredictable romance that spans languages and locations.

Adding to the online buzz, Kim included seven four-leaf clover emojis in his post, a detail fans quickly associated with luck, romance and fate. In the comments, many praised not only the mood of the photos but the “perfectly styled boyfriend look” that fit seamlessly with the drama’s tone.
