The controversy started after her appearance on the South Korean show "Knowing Brothers," where fans were disappointed with her sexualized school uniform.
This isnโt about knowing bros this is about K-popโs sexualisation of school uniforms & how itโs excessively common for idols to wear them? And isnโt it worse to wear it by your own will compared to being forced to wear a uniform for the show?
