The Controversial Clip From (G)I-DLE’s “Klaxon” Music Video That’s Getting Heavily Split Reactions
A few days ago, (G)I-DLE released their newest album, I Sway, along with a music video for the lead single “Klaxon”.
They also shared a performance video for the song, in which the members give off a fun and summery vibe while dancing in swimsuits.
Not everyone was a fan of what the members were wearing for the performance video, though. And in one scene in particular, Soyeon turns around and lifts her shirt up while shaking her butt in a move that surprised many with how much skin she was baring. Yuqi, too, catches attention for her exposure.

Though the moment was short, it has gone somewhat viral online as netizens share their opinions on it. On the one hand, Korean netizens seem to have a generally negative opinion towards Soyeon’s skin exposure, with some calling it “embarrassing” and “excessive”.
- “Why do you keep exposing yourself?”
- “I’m also surprised by the member on the right who is wearing panties.”
- “Haven’t you done this kind of choreography before? At this point, it seems to be your taste.”
- “No but… it’s so funny…”
- “It’s not attractive and they keep doing it.”
- “It doesn’t look pretty, it’s just embarrassing…”
- “They’re getting more and more excessive.”
- “Seriously, it looks like underwear and isn’t even a swimsuit.”
- “Why do they like their *ss so much? Amazing…”
- “Aren’t the members generally famous for their good vocals? Why are they getting more and more exposed?”
- “It’s a little uncomfortable.”
On the other hand, the clip has really taken off with international fans. The above tweet has over 1.2 million views at this time, along with over 10k likes. And the responses to Soyeon’s booty shaking are much different than those from Korean netizens.
New era of Kpop has started🙂↕️

Do you think this was too much for (G)I-DLE, or were you a fan of the booty shaking?
