this is literally what concept most 2nd gen girl groups groups had at one point, she's grown so it shouldn't be an issue as much as it should if it was a minor

But you also have to think of the audience. A lot of kpop fans are underage.

Adults can do whatever they want but that isn’t a blank check to do it anywhere.
Oh yes the poor children.
This is what parents and monitoring what your kids watch is for.
:welp: Like where have you been when any dude with abs let’s it shine in the sun or when hwasa speaks words of wisdom going bra free? This isn’t a 1859.

There have been mature concepts much worse than what Twice is currently doing. You shouldn't worry about the young K-pop fans who are seeing this. That is what parents and monitoring are for.

There's a point where a girl group may want to go into these mature concepts. It's part of the group's evolution.

To clarify, I’m not saying Twice has done something bad. Just that I haven’t seen a garter ever been used for a kpop concept before. And considering in what contexts that’s often used, yes, it’s quite mature.

Ah. Well, this is nowhere NEAR the first time I've seen a garter in K-Pop. At all. Ever.

I'm from the 2nd Gen and forward, so. Dunno what to tell you.

ETA: K-Pop is just Korean POPular music. It encompasses many genres and age groups, as you well know. This concept isn't new or different.

There’s a difference between mature concepts and outright sexualization. And they’re adults. Mature concepts dominated the second and early third gen, they’re just making a comeback. Radio silence when its a minor being sexualized but when Twice does a mature concept all hell breaks loose. Yeah that totally makes sense. I’m not even huge into twice but I see nothing wrong with this objectively speaking

People will be outraged no matter what, like how Jennie's nurse scenes got removed from the MV for being too "sexual" or "provocative". There are double standards in KPOP and women will always be punished for doing nothing while male idols get a free pass to do as they please. It's all about controlling women.
