While some netizens loved the video, it did spark a heated debate about the sexualization of the idol. Some worried that the company had made her do this dance in a specific way to gain attention, while others didn’t understand why female idols were always sexualized for anything they do, including normal things like wearing tight clothes and having breasts.
