10 Of The Most Controversial Stage Outfits Ever Worn By K-Pop Idols

1. Girl’s Day

Back in 2011 Girl’s Day got a lot of negative attention for their odd stage outfits. The outfits featured short yellow dresses and what some people referred to as diapers.

 

The “diaper fashion” received a lot of criticism from both the public and media because the outfits were seen as inappropriate as some of the girls were minors at the time.

 

2. SISTAR

The group received a lot of criticism for their short and revealing outfits at the 2011 KBS Music Festival.

 

Their “So Cool” performance was a little too sexy for some people.

 

3. Girls’ Generation

Many netizens were worried about Girls’ Generation when someone noticed their stage outfits seem to follow the design of Dolce & Gabbana.

 

Some netizens thought it was simply a homage to the brand while others thought it was blatant plagiarism.

 

4. PRITZ

When PRITZ was new on the K-Pop scene they were already causing a scene due to one particular stage outfit. There were claims that the armband worn by the members were reminiscent of the Nazi swastika flag.

 

The outcry over the outfit was so big that PRITZ’s agency Pandagram had to release a statement that they had no intention of replicating Nazi uniforms.

And unique performances.

 

9. Former 2AM’s Jo Kwon

When Jo Kwon took on the role of a drag queen in “Golden Tamborine” and “Priscilla” he may not have guessed what a stir it would cause!

But perhaps the most shocking stage outfit is N.O.M’s!

 

Their revealing outfit leaves little to the imagination.
