Source: Seoul Newspaper
Koreans are sharing heated reactions to the recent "underboob" trend.
On the 1st, an article titled, "Under-boob fashion trend censorship" was posted on Pann and author criticized the trend writing, "I f*cking hate under-boob. Femis are running around acting like we're oppressing women rights if we censor under-boob trend."
The article was bombarded with lots of comments criticizing the trend arguing, "men fashion has largely stayed the same but women fashion keeps revealing more and more. It's uncomfortable to see." "The reason women rights are getting downgraded is because they're exposing more and more.." "Does it make sense to wear fashion where you can't even raise your arm comfortably?"
There are also many voices of concern being shared on Daum café 'Women's Era' as under-boob becomes popular in Korea. Netizens wrote, "I'm afraid that if this becomes a trend in our country, boob surgery is going to get popular too." "If you raise your arm, or wind blows, you risk exposing the whole boob." "This is a trend that caters to men."
In contrast, others bombarded FM Korea's 'Femco', a largely male-dominated community writing, "Is anyone forcing you to wear it?" "If you want to wear it, wear it."
Meanwhile, several Korean idols including Blackpink's Jennie, Singer Bibi, and Le Sserafim Kim Chaewon recently showed off their 'under-boob' fashion catching attention.
- [+9,949, -298] Please, no one wants to see private parts hanging out from the bottom ㅋㅋㅋ
- [+5,164, -234] You wouldn't even be allowed to wear that anywhere on our beaches and they want to wear that on the streets? Are they trying to get thrown in jail for pr*stituting? I'm a girl too but showing off under boob? It's just going to trigger eye r*pe from men if they're caught staring. This is akin to wearing underwear on the streets. What? This is just not it.
