Yanggaeng

Yanggaeng (양승호), also publicly credited as XIN Seungho Yang, is one of Korean fashion's rare behind-the-scenes names with real author-level recognition. He first entered the wider culture conversation through styling work tied to YG Entertainment acts including 2NE1, then extended that influence into the visual world around G-Dragon and the broader Seoul luxury market.

That reputation expanded into brand authorship when he launched XYN and pushed it into a 1017 ALYX 9SM collaboration in 2021. The shift mattered because Yanggaeng stopped reading like a stylist who only amplified other people's brands and started reading like a creative director with a market-facing point of view of his own.

In 2026, he moved back into a broader public-facing lane through Kill It: Style Creator War on tvN and TVING, where mentor coverage placed him as one of the experts guiding the next wave of K-fashion talent. It is a clean fit for his career. Taste translated into competitive pressure, not nostalgia for an older era.

What is Yanggaeng doing in 2026?
In 2026, Yanggaeng appears as a mentor on <em>Kill It: Style Creator War</em> for tvN and TVING. That role widened his visibility beyond fashion insiders and placed him inside a televised competition built to find the next generation of K-fashion creators.
