aespa is one of the top 4th generation girl groups in the K-pop industry and has been garnering much love and popularity. Not only are they known for their captivating performances and addictive music, but they have impressed fans with their visuals and fashionable outfits.
Recently, the girls received much praise for their suitable outfits at the Waterbomb Festival.
The Waterbomb Festival is a much-looked-forward-to annual summer event in which many K-pop artists are invited to enjoy the hot summer while cooling down with memorable performances and water.
This year, aespa was invited to perform at this notable event and garnered much attention for their outfits on stage. Many netizens praised how the members did not wear overly revealing outfits and were perfect for the summer season.
Netizens praised, "They wore suitable outfits. They have a lot of fans in elementary school so overly revealing clothes are not good," "I was worried about their outfits but they were dressed okay, which is a relief," "They wore good outfits that were fitting for the event," "Their outfits are better than overly revealing ones," and "I'm glad their outfits weren't too revealing."
well this is SM and as far as i recall they don't dress their girl groups in super revealing clothes
i remember reading an article about SM many years ago saying that they want to appeal to fangirls too and that is easier if they dont have sexy concepts.
appealing to fangirls is their main goal bc they usually are more loyal and also spend more than the typical fanboys or even general public so more 💰 for them and they know that the guys and general public eventually become fans when they are on top
not saying that all female fans don't like sexy concepts but you cannot say that a lot harder to attract them if the ggroups have concepts that is all for male gaze
