Netizens are divided over Hwa Sa's latest styling on a variety program.
On media outlets and online forums, netizens are divided due to what they perceive as the MAMAMOO member's 'sexualized' take on a schoolgirl outfit as worn on 'Knowing Brothers.' After making a comeback as a solo with "I Love My Body," Hwa Sa has been continuing her 'body positive' concepts with unconventional looks and gestures.
But a portion of the viewers expressed unease over the concept Hwa Sa brought to the JTBC show, deeming it sexually suggestive of underage schoolgirls. Media outlets reported Hwa Sa's outfit as "a uniform made into a bikini-like cropped top," commenting that the risqué presentation was not just limited to the singer’s attire but was also evident in the dancers' outfits and the performance itself.
Some have even labeled this outfit as a "school uniform bra top," which has further fueled the controversy. Comments also included the attention to her under garments deliberately seen intermittently beneath the cropped top.
Many deemed her styling as an inappropriate sexualization of school uniforms, irrespective of her body-positive message. In contrast, others defended Hwa Sa's choice by arguing that sexy performances are quite common in the entertainment industry, relaying that the public was 'simply overacting.' They pointed out that she was abiding by the shows premise, which dictates all guests dress in a school look.
However, criticisms did not end as some netizens noted the way Brave Girls had switched to a different outfit for their performance of "Rollin'" on the same show. Moreover, netizens compared Hwa Sa's concept to Britney Spears's school girl look for "Baby One More Time" and expressed that even the 90s pop icon was criticized for her controversial outfit back then.
Netizens' reactions include:
"Hm.......................a school uniform......?"
"I just don't understand why people think that being sexy requires that kind of outfit"
"I don't even care if this is a Britney Spears homage...even Britney had to face controversy then"
"And she says she has a hard time because of controversies like this?"
"I've seen other idols and singers wear at least gym pants underneath on this show for performances"
"I wonder if the body positive message of cherishing one's body has to look like this"
"Ha......NOW everybody is hating on Hwa Sa?"
"You people are just overreacting"
"The whole point of 'Knowing Brothers' is to wear school outfits"
"There are even more revealing and 'shocking' outfits nowadays, even in public"
"Even Kwon Eun Bi who has been getting a lot of attention lately for her revealing outfits has worn leggings underneath on 'Knowing Brothers'"
"I feel bad for Hwa Sa..."
"It just feels like a Britney homage so it doesn't look weird to me. But maybe it's that dance..."
"Why are people being so sensitive like this???"
"There are SO many girl groups that wear school girl outfits like that, come on"
"I don't think it's too much"
"There are a lot of girl groups that reform school girl looks like that with cropped tops"
"I still can't....with the whole sexy school girl look....even when others do it"
"Anything but school uniforms, please"

Reminds me of why Yoona is still top G when it comes to female idols.
She's beautiful, always looks youthful and absolutely SEXY in every sense of the word. Funny thing is, Yoona has Never Ever felt the need to go this low to exude all of these attributes..... cos she actually knows her status in society and the influence she has on the younger generation. Which means that she respects herself, respects her family, respects her fans and respects the society she lives in.

Hwasa meanwhile is so busy chasing clout that, she's now willing to do the most perverse things just to be seen and talked about.
1. Licking her fingers and rubbing her pu$$y in stage in usa
2. Doing the same and even worse while performing in front of respectable top University executives and parents of students
3. And now she's altering school uniforms to look as skimpy and trashy as possible in front of the whole country, to satisfy the fantasies of pedophiles at home. Funny thing is, the perverted performance is now being talked about so much that, all the pedophiles that missed the show can go back and watch it again, cos it stuck on the internet Forever.

Is this what we're supposed to call "sexy"?? Harvey Weinstein made a lot of girls do this in front of him and his friends before they were given a shot in Hollywood!!
And now you have morally bankrupt people out here and there saying that it's ok for Hwasa to perform like this in front of children on a family show, disregarding the impact it will have on the entire country cos, "oh shes an adult and can do whatever she wants"!!!
.
You know who did those things too?? Miley cyrus! But she just quit all of that one day after realising that she has too much self-worth than to be a tool for Hollywood to promote child fantasies in adults.
