A recent performance by Global Girl Group Katseye he turned on a burst of online debate, with a post entitled “What do you think of Katseye’s controversy on Twitter?” becoming viral on the Korean forum PIG. The post, which presented a photo of the group that made their latest trace of the title “Gnarly” ON Mulodunto M.has accumulated almost 32,000 viewsReview the discussion always present on the costumes of the K-Pop stage and social expectations.
The image was accompanied by the caption: “People say this dress is too revealing .. then what should they wear exactly?” That single phrase opened the doors to a wave of polarized comments, with Netizen who fiercely divide the fact that the outfit had crossed the line or simply reflected the current global pop trends.
CNG comments:
- “I’m not a group of American idol to begin with? Lol. The stage was powerful and satisfying to look at. People are reacting in an exaggerated way. As soon as there is a little skin or boldness, everyone acts as if it were a forced exploitation. It is not the mentality that undermines the rights of women who claim to defend?”
- “Feminist twitter, stop attacking groups of girls.”
- “Seriously I don’t see what should be so” detector “about it. This is just an exaggerated indignation.”
- “This does not even qualify like a controversy, it is ridiculous.”
- “At the time Hyein wasn’t about 14 or 15 years? Lol. Fun as feminist ones were praising the Newjeans at that moment, but now they are throwing a fit on the hot mature girls of drops that wear something similar. Honestly, the biggest problem is to create childhood content for girls who are not even trying to be sexy. This promotes the pedophile much more than this.”
This is not the first time that a group of k-pop girls arouses a debate on stage clothes, but the clash of cultural perspectives, especially between the Netizen Koreans and the international feminist discourse, does not control polarizing opinions.
