Korean Model Yoon Young Bae Walks the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 Alongside KATSEYE’s Yoonchae
The 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show brought together international supermodels, major music artists, and some unforgettable fashion moments. Among the faces catching attention on the runway was Yoon Young Bae, the South Korean model known for her work with major international fashion houses.
The October 18 show in Los Angeles also featured a special performance by KATSEYE, bringing Korean talent from both the modeling and K-pop worlds into the spotlight.
Who Is Yoon Young Bae?
Yoon Young Bae (배윤영) is a South Korean fashion model born in Daegu. She entered the international fashion scene after making her runway debut as an exclusive model for Prada in 2016.
Since then, she has worked with renowned fashion houses and appeared in international fashion publications, building a career that extends far beyond South Korea.
Her appearance at the Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show 2026 adds another high-profile runway moment to her modeling career. For fans of Korean fashion and beauty, her presence is another reason to keep an eye on the growing visibility of Korean talent in the global fashion industry.
Yoonchae and KATSEYE Bring K-Pop to Victoria’s Secret
Yoon Young Bae wasn’t the only Korean star drawing attention at the show. Yoonchae, the Korean member of global girl group KATSEYE, joined her bandmates for a performance during the event.
The group performed “Pinky Up” and “Animal” during the PINK segment, combining energetic choreography with coordinated fashion looks.
Four members took part in the performance: Daniela, Lara, Megan, and Yoonchae. Their appearance brought K-pop into the Victoria’s Secret spectacle, connecting the world of music with the show’s signature runway atmosphere.
Yoonchae’s participation was particularly exciting for KATSEYE fans, known as EYEKONS, who got to see the group perform on one of fashion’s most recognizable stages.
Korean Talent Takes the Global Stage
From Yoon Young Bae walking the runway to Yoonchae performing with KATSEYE, the 2026 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show highlighted the different ways Korean talent is reaching international audiences.
Fashion and K-pop have become increasingly connected through brand campaigns, runway appearances, global performances, and collaborations. Events like this bring those worlds together and introduce artists and models to audiences who might not otherwise follow their work.
For fans of Korean culture, seeing a Korean model and a Korean K-pop star featured at the same major event makes this year’s show especially memorable.
