“…is VITAL for women in the industry.”
THE SERAPHIM KazuhaWardrobe issue sparks debate over protective gear for female idols
On September 8, LE SSERAFIM performed their song “CRAZY” on Inkigayo.
Watching Kazuha’s fancam, netizens noticed that at one point, her nail caught her top, causing it to rise. Luckily, thanks to the sports bra she was wearing, the malfunction did not cause any exposure.
When a fan noticed what happened, he explained why it is important for female idols to wear protective clothing and wear multiple layers, because Kazuha’s bra prevented something terrible from happening.
and that’s why protective gear is VITAL for women in the industry😭 this could have all gone horribly wrong if it wasn’t for the top she was wearing underneath photo.twitter.com/n3tl8p6hUI

In the comments, Internet users expressed mixed reactions to the hit tweet.
Some felt that a sports bra shouldn’t be classified as “protective clothing,” but many pointed out that the point was that anything other than a sports bra could mean that a wardrobe malfunction would expose Kazuha more than she would ever want. Especially with everything that’s going on in Korea regarding women, many believe that it’s sad but true that anything to protect female idols even a little is better than what could happen.
I thought it was common sense for dancers to always wear safety gear underneath, otherwise you risk exposing everything to millions of people? Why do some men wish humiliating wardrobe malfunctions on idols? https://t.co/x12wyOdgVd
