After their recent performance on Music Bank, (G)I-DLE member Shuhua addressed the criticism surrounding the group’s stage outfits. Korean netizens sparked controversy on online forums, expressing their disapproval of the group’s attire, claiming it to be excessively revealing.
Following their comeback with the song ‘Klaxon,’ the group made an appearance on Music Bank donning colorful dolphin shorts, adding a lively summer vibe that perfectly matched their latest track. Despite this, there was swift backlash from netizens who pointed out the black safety shorts peeking through the main outfits, which were deemed to be longer than the outer garments themselves.
The recent Instagram posts by an Idol have sparked reactions among K-Netz.
Theqoo, a popular platform for fan discussions, showed a variety of reactions to the attire, with some expressing concerns about its appropriateness.
- “Too short…”
- “It might be okay if the outfit matched well or looked good.”
- “They were fine on M Countdown yesterday, but there’s a big difference in just one day.”
Shuhua responded to a comment on her personal Instagram account, directly engaging with a fan’s criticism of her outfit choice. In response to a Chinese fan’s remark that her pants were too short, Shuhua confidently defended herself by stating, “My legs are just too long.”
The group’s supporters came together to show their support for (G)I-DLE, highlighting their independence as experienced performers:
- “As adults and veteran idols, they have the right to choose their stage outfits.”
- “They should be allowed to express themselves freely without unnecessary criticism.”
Despite (G)I-DLE’s ongoing promotions for ‘Klaxon,’ their fashion choices continue to spark discussions among both fans and critics.
At the same time, (G)I-DLE has reached a major accomplishment with their highly anticipated second studio album, “2,”surpassing their previous record for stock pre-orders. On January 24, Cube Entertainment revealed that “2”has exceeded 1.8 million stock pre-orders, making it the group’s most successful album in terms of pre-sales.
This surpasses their previous record of 1.1 million pre-orders for their sixth mini album, “I feel,”which was released in May 2023. The album’s impressive pre-order figures demonstrate (G)I-DLE’s immense popularity and excitement among fans before its January 29 release, which will include the title track “Super Lady.”
This accomplishment firmly establishes (G)I-DLE as a prominent figure in the highly competitive K-pop industry, emphasizing their continued achievements and strong fan following.
