An emerging K-pop girl group has found itself at the center of criticism after a questionable fashion choice sparked outrage among fans and netizens.
The controversy began when a photo of one was published Sivery member circulated online, showing her dressed in a white jacket with the word “Slut” prominently displayed on the front. The image quickly went viral, drawing attention not to the group’s music, but to the inappropriate nature of the clothing.
Many fans expressed disappointment and concern, especially considering that the member in question had just turned 20. Critics wondered why designers allowed her to wear such a garment without checking the meaning of the English text printed on it.
“Couldn’t they at least check what these words mean before wearing them? Even if the design is trendy, this is not acceptable,” one user commented. Others highlighted the importance of safeguarding young artists from wearing offensive or misinterpreted clothing.
To highlight how this could have been avoided, some fans pointed out how another girl group, Hearts2Heartsthey wore the same jacket but had custom wording to reflect the song title, avoiding the issue entirely.
The overwhelming consensus online was that it was an avoidable mistake, with most of the criticism aimed at the group’s styling team.
Comments included:
- “They should have known better. At least Google it!”
- “This is entirely up to the stylist.”
- “How can you approve it without first checking its meaning?”
- “The members are still so young that it wasn’t good.”
While Sivery has yet to release an official statement, the incident serves as a reminder of the importance of cultural awareness and sensitivity, especially in global entertainment industries such as K-pop.
