Yet, a video of the idol going viral on TikTok has sparked major concerns and criticism. In the clip, Arin turns around for the choreography but netizens noticed how short her shorts were, revealing a lot of skin that safety shorts should protect.
In the comments, netizens hit back at the stylist, saying that Arin seemed uncomfortable with the outfit and that the protective shorts weren’t even useful and just drew attention to the exposing look.
Safety shorts have always been meant to protect idols, but often, it isn’t the case.
