Miyeon’s Vivienne Westwood Macau Appearance Draws Attention After Cheek-Kiss Controversy

Miyeon’s appearance at the Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery Exhibition 2026 Macau has become a focal point of entertainment coverage after she attended the Macau opening event at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort. The exhibition opened to the public on April 29 and runs until July 15, 2026, while reports from the launch also drew attention to a social media clip that led to the Miyeon kiss controversy.¹²

The event centers on Vivienne Westwood’s jewellery archive and runway collections, with SJM Resorts presenting Macau as the fourth stop on the exhibition’s global tour and its first stop in Southern China. The official exhibition page states that four decades of archive and runway jewellery are being shown together for the first time.¹

Miyeon at the Vivienne Westwood Macau Opening

The Macau debut was celebrated at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort on April 28, one day before the public opening. Inside Asian Gaming reported that SJM Resorts announced the exhibition at a special event and named Cho Miyeon of i-dle and Anson Lo of MIRROR among the special guests at the opening ceremony.³

Sports Kyunghyang reported that Miyeon departed through Incheon International Airport on April 28 to attend the grand opening of the Vivienne Westwood Macau jewellery exhibition. That coverage focused on her airport fashion and noted that the photos were provided by Vivienne Westwood.⁴

JPNN also listed Miyeon of (G)I-DLE and Anson Lo of MIRROR among the guests at the April 28 Macau debut event. The outlet reported that Miyeon appeared on stage and discussed her admiration for Vivienne Westwood’s philosophy.⁵

The South China Morning Post reported that the exhibition opened at SJM’s Grand Lisboa Palace Resort with guests including Miyeon of i-dle and Anson Lo of MIRROR. Anson Lo described the exhibition as “more playful, colourful, and very fun” during the opening.⁶

Exhibition Presents Four Decades of Westwood Jewellery

The exhibition’s main focus is Vivienne Westwood jewellery shown through a curated historical format. SJM Resorts describes the Macau presentation as a major stop for the house’s jewellery archive, bringing together four decades of archive and runway pieces.¹

Inside Asian Gaming reported that the exhibition spans eight themed rooms. The South China Morning Post described the same structure as eight thematic chapters and said the show includes archival and runway pieces shown as one collection.³⁶

The exhibition is positioned as both a fashion presentation and a tribute to the late designer’s jewellery language. The available source material does not provide a full item list, ticketing breakdown, or daily visitor figures, so the confirmed details remain the venue, dates, exhibition format, tour status, and named guests.

The Macau stop also places the event within a broader regional setting. The official SJM Resorts page identifies it as the first stop in Southern China, a detail repeated across coverage of the launch and useful for understanding why the Macau opening attracted regional entertainment and fashion attention.¹

Cheek-Kiss Clip Sparks Online Debate

Alongside coverage of the exhibition itself, Koreaboo reported that a social media clip from the Vivienne Westwood event showed creative director Andreas Kronthaler kissing Miyeon on the cheek. The outlet said some fans criticized the interaction as inappropriate, while others argued that cheek kissing can be a cultural greeting depending on context.²

That report is the source-backed basis for the broader Miyeon kiss controversy. The available source material does not include an official statement from Miyeon, Vivienne Westwood, SJM Resorts, Andreas Kronthaler, or i-dle’s representatives about the clip. For that reason, the reported debate should be treated as an online reaction to a short event moment rather than a confirmed formal dispute.

The controversy has nevertheless shifted part of the public conversation away from the exhibition’s fashion and archival focus. The confirmed event context is that Miyeon was in Macau for the Vivienne Westwood & Jewellery Exhibition opening, where multiple outlets identified her among the invited guests and participants.³⁵

The Vivienne Westwood Macau event therefore sits at the intersection of an official fashion exhibition, a celebrity guest appearance, and a disputed social media moment. Based on the available records, the exhibition remains open at Grand Lisboa Palace Resort Macau until July 15, 2026, while the reported cheek-kiss backlash remains limited to online reactions described in entertainment coverage.¹²
