Solidarity for the Protection of Human Rights of Students and Parents is accusing Hwa Sa of public indecency during her performance at Sungkyunkwan University's campus festival back in May.
On July 10 KST, organization leader Shin Min Hyang spoke with the media, revealing the reason why she was being accused of lewd action during her performance. "At Sungkyunkwan University, in a public place where the public can see, she committed an obscene act that has nothing to do with music," she commented. "That is why we are accusing her of a lewd act."
According to media reports, Hwa Sa was performing "Don't Give" with rapper LOCO when she squatted down with spread legs, appeared to lick down her palm, then moved the hand down between her thighs. The video of the performance has since spread online, fueling a heated debate over whether the move was inappropriate.
Shin Min Hyang expressed regret that the group's decision to make such an accusation is being looked down upon by some, adding, "Although it is an organization for the parents of university students, it was judged that the illegality of the act amounted to the crime of public obscenity rather than just being the parents' opinion. The accusation was made after consultation with an attorney."
She then mentioned Hwa Sa's former agency RBW, which was responsible for her singer at the time, saying that they had held a rally in front of the agency building. "Although they were fully aware of it, they did not release an additional statement, and Hwa Sa's exclusive contract eventually ended," she revealed. "We don't understand [what happened]."
Shin Min Hyang then acknowledged that university students are generally not minors; however, Hwa Sa was reported due to her inappropriateness.
Meanwhile, Seoul's Seongdong Police Department has confirmed that the Solidarity for the Protection of Human Rights of Students and Parents had reported Hwa Sa for her lewd performance. They said that they have launched an investigation and plan to call the accused and investigate if necessary after review.

I'm sick and tired of western artist over sexualizing their performance, I hope kpop don't turn into that. Sexy is okay but making sexual gesture is too much.
