Nothing compares to your first New York Fashion Week, especially when you’re flown in for the occasion. For Joy, the South Korean singer, actress, and member of girl group Red Velvet, fall 2020 provided the ultimate front row experience. A VIP guest at Michael Kors, she made the trip from Seoul to take in the designer’s western-themed show—and enjoy 24 hours of fun in the Big Apple.

How does one of K-pop’s brightest stars prep for her spot in the front row? It turns out the perfect pre-show routine is simple; a glamorous breakfast, a break chilling with friends like YouTube stars Cameron Dallas and Risabae, and a few minutes spent testing out the latest It bag. Joy even found time to test out her runway walk, taking to the stage at American Stock Exchange before Bella Hadid and Binx Walton stomped out in the new collection. While she could moonlight as a model, the multi-talented star’s carefree diary of her NYC trip proves she’s loving exactly where she is right now.
