K-pop boy groups EXO, BEAST, GOT7, B1A4 and Infinite fought over the style stakes at the idol-packed 24th Seoul Music Awards on Thursday.


While B1A4, GOT7 and Infinite looked remarkably similar with their monochromatic fashion choices, B1A4 took a more formal spin on the look with houndstooth suit jackets, white shirts and pants. The singers topped off their look with ribbon bowties and black combat boots.
