Earlier, we ran a story about how KARA's maknae, Kang Jiyoung had gotten the attention of fans after she was photographed at the airport wearing casual fashion and having a make-up free face. Hours later, a portion of netizens have started to turn against Jiyoung, claiming that her outfit was inappropriate for someone her age. Jiyoung had sported a thin see-through top, where her black undergarment was visible, coupled with denim shorts. Jiyoung, whose Korean age is 17 (born January 1994), is a high school sophomore and is still considered a minor. Netizens wrote,

"I don't think the see-through look is appropriate for minors." "Isn't her fashion too suggestive?" "You can see all of her undergarment." "I don't think a minor should wear clothes that totally show their undergarments." "That is sufficiently risque."

"That is something you see commonly on the streets." "It's only fashion." "People who don't understand see-through fashion." "Why is this an issue, a lot of people dress like that nowadays."
