Did BLACKPINK’s Lisa “Normalize” Short Outfits for Female Idols? Differenct Reactions to TWICE’s Sana
Recently, TWICE’s Sana drew attention for her “Strategy” fancam on the December 6 episode of Korea music show “Music Bank”.
In particular, the female idol was dressed in a gray dress with fur details and a huge back cut-out, revealing her sexy figure. However, due to the dress being too short and TWICE’s “Strategy” choreography incorporating many large leg movements, the dress constantly rides up, exposing the safety shorts underneath. In the end, “Music Bank” deleted the fancam as complaints about the outfits increased.
It is notable, however, that criticism at the time was not directed at Sana, but just her outfit. On top of that, the reactions towards Sana’s outfit were way less serious than those directed at BLACKPINK’s Lisa, who was under fire for the same reason in the past.
To be more specific, back in the days, Lisa received a lot of harsh comments about her extremely short outfits, some of which severely slut-shame the female idol. This situation even took a turn for the worse following Lisa’s “strip-show” performance at the infamous cabaret club “Crazy Horse Paris”.
In the case of Sana and many different idols, however, most of the blame falls on the stylists, and criticism wasn’t heavy in the first place.
The difference in the level of harshness has caused netizens to have varying reactions, some of whom even speculating that Lisa has “normalized” short outfits for female idols.
