KATSEYE's Comeback Teasers Spark Debate Over Styling Choices

Korean Netizen Comments

1. More than whether it's revealing or not, I want to ask if this styling is really the best they could do?
2. This is beyond what Kim Kardashian would get criticized for.
3. Setting aside the revealing clothes, the first photo is just so strange... Sophia looks completely unsuitable in that outfit too.

4. I don't care about the revealing aspect, but it genuinely doesn't look good. What's wrong with the aesthetic?
5. At least Yoonchae (윤채) is always 'well-protected,' haha.
6. I know this is the style they're aiming for, but at least make it look good. Even if you ignore the revealing part, the clothes themselves are just ugly.

7. Honestly, they're not strippers... Every time, I just feel the outfits are getting more and more exaggerated.
8. It's not that I mind revealing, but it's genuinely too much and tacky.
9. HYBE's aesthetic is consistent as ever, haha.

10. What is this even... I used to look them up after their "Gnarly" stage.
11. It's neither pretty nor cool, and I don't feel any 'autonomous sexuality' from it at all.
12. Wow, Lara's (라라) top is practically just symbolic coverage.

13. The same members are always responsible for the revealing outfits. Seeing this extent, it must be their preferred style.
14. From the beginning, I felt that some of the international members genuinely thought 'autonomous sexuality' was cool and chic... Their understanding of feminism is very different from ours.
15. Many people say, 'America is like this, even more exaggerated.'

16. But when I look at American X and Reddit, many people are also saying, 'Why are they sexualizing women so much?'
17. It's really experimental, haha, the concept is too strong.
18. This might be why they aren't very popular in Korea and Japan.

19. It feels like they're imitating Western pop singers, believing that the more revealing, the more fashionable and cool. And since this is the style the members like, it probably won't change.
20. This group's outfits have always been strange since their debut. Not only are they revealing, but more importantly, they don't look good...
21. Sigh, at least Yoonchae is covered, which is a small mercy.

22. Weren't they called 'American elementary school presidents'? Is it really okay to dress like this?
23. Although they primarily promote overseas, and I'm not very familiar with them, the first two and last two outfits are truly excessive.
24. You can tell from their Instagram that they seem to like these styles themselves, so they probably aren't forced to wear them. Let them decide for themselves.

25. However, some members of this group naturally prefer this style, which is why their styling has always been like this, and the same few members are always the ones with revealing outfits. Thankfully, Yoonchae (윤채) is usually more covered... When I watched the "Animal" MV, I was shocked to see someone appear directly in underwear; it was genuinely lingerie, just passed off as a costume change.
26. At least make them look pretty. What is that? It's literally just underwear and a bra.
27. Since they're an American girl group, I can understand more sensual clothing, but aren't they also popular with American elementary school students? I still think the extent could be toned down.

28. I was just a casual listener, but from "Gnarly" onwards, and especially starting with "Gabriela," I felt it completely didn't align with Korean aesthetics. Now I prefer the style of Girlset.
29. This group's stylist must have an easy time transporting clothes; most of it is just underwear and bras. It feels like they only need to pack a few sets of lingerie.
30. I remember the American girl group Fifth Harmony didn't dress so exaggeratedly.
31. It's not a lingerie fashion show; they wear almost the same thing every time. Regardless of whether it looks good or is sexy, it just feels a bit much.
