Korean media hotly discuss “women’s group live broadcasts are not allowed to cover their legs”

“I just want to show it to others!” Recently, a live video of a South Korean women’s group has caused heated discussion on the Internet. According to the Chosun Ilbo reported on the 17th, during the live broadcast of the South Korean women’s group FANATICS on the 7th of this month, in order to prevent it from being exhausted, two women’s group members just took the jackets handed over by their teammates and put them on their legs. In the background, a man appeared. Reprimanded: “What’s the cover? Show someone the legs, are you stupid?” The female artist looked at her and removed her coat after hearing it (pictured).

South Korea’s “Korea Economy” stated that at the same time that the male worker made a reprimand, there was also a “friction” at the scene, which triggered a debate about whether there was still violence at the live broadcast. This incident immediately triggered condemnation from South Korean netizens, and fans pointed out that the member suspected of being slapped after handing over the jacket was Chinese artist Lian Sijia.
As the incident continues to ferment, FENT Entertainment, the agency of FANATICS, publicly stated its position on the same day: “In response to the wrong statement made by the on-site staff in the live broadcast on the 7th, our company has realized the seriousness and first of all to the members and fans who have been harmed by this. Apology. We will take corresponding measures to the responsible persons. We will pay more attention in the future to prevent similar incidents from happening again.” Some Korean media pointed out that the apology statement of the brokerage company is difficult to “convince the public”, and it is for those who force members to show their legs. No explanation was given as to who it was, and netizens raised questions about violence at the live broadcast.

South Korea’s “Shimbun Today” stated that forcible exposure of young members is already a major problem, not to mention that there are minors among FANATICS members. In fact, women’s group members have no right to choose what clothes to wear. There are countless South Korean women’s groups that are leading sexy, and it is not uncommon to wear short skirts in the cold winter. The concept of “sexy” has been commoditized in women’s groups, and the agency’s mandatory requirement for women’s group members to wear revealing has become an eye-catching “strategy”. It is hoped that taking this controversy as an opportunity, the society will jointly reflect on the issue of sexual commercialization in the entertainment industry and truly strive to achieve self-purification.
