1. [+358, -15] We're going to have to mosaic music programs in 2015 at this rate

2. [+297, -36] I think later, they're going to look back and wonder to themselves, "What did I do as a singer.....?"

3. [+244, -32] Can we just slap on a 19+ rating on these broadcast shows and make them Las Vegas style with the stripping ㅡㅡ;; Why bother wearing spankies? Just wear your panties~ Or are you not confident in your sagging butt?

4. [+20, -3] ㅋㅋㅋ Since wearing bikinis is okay now... I guess we'll be seeing topless idols soon. It's all just a matter of who does it first.

5. [+16, -2] I'm only in my early 30s and it's been a while since I cut myself off from pop music because it all just sounds like noise to me. I tend to stick to music from the 90s and early 00s. Even though they're old, they still sound trendy.

6. [+16, -0] Talk about turning your sex into a product

7. [+14, -3] Well, what can we say when they're making as much money as they're taking off

8. [+9, -1] They're not singers ㅋㅋ Just about as on level with the cheerleaders at baseball games and racing girls at motor shows ㅋ

1. [+1,284, -30] Your singing is more of a disaster than your dancing

2. [+1,076, -18] Netizens told them to stop taking off their skirts so they decide to not wear them at all ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

3. [+1,036, -25] "Look at my legs"??? They sing songs like this and then treat people like sexual criminals once you actually look ㅋㅋㅋ

4. [+679, -24] Don't worry, nobody was looking at your legs anyway...

5. [+511, -26] You already showed everything off anyway, doing this won't change your cheap image. Just keep pushing this cheap image because it's who you all are originally.

Instiz: Dal Shabet's over the top outfits today

"Umm... Yeah, that's a bit much. You can clearly see the outline.."

"Embarrassing."

"All of our eyes are pointed to one spot."

"C..camel toe.."

"It's not really all that sexy looking either.."

"If they didn't have that line running down the middle, it wouldn't be as bad."

"The response isn't so bad because it's Instiz.. I bet if these pictures were on any other board, it'd be filled with sexual, nasty comments."

"I wonder how embarrassed they are having to wear it."

"Camel toes galore."

"Really, they had to have intended to show off that area.. I mean how could you not with an outfit tailored like that?"

Article: Girl's Day pulls down their suspenders, Dal Shabet opens up their skirts

Source: OSEN via Daum

1. [+1,785, -33] So... who will be the next brave soul to pull down their panties on stage?

2. [+1,187, -40] All of the groups that can't sing are resorting to stripping down.

3. [+720, -20] Man, girl groups back in the day used to be able to come up with creative concepts without resorting to things like this...

4. [+615, -29] As a woman, things like this really piss me off. Girls like Hyuna, Clara, and Kang Yebin coming out practically naked and setting themselves up as sexual products only reinforces the image of women being cheap to men. What kind of woman wouldn't be pissed?? There are also women who think this is the trend so they'll go out on the streets wearing minimal clothing.. and even though boyfriends don't want their own girlfriends to dress like that, they still end up staring at exposed skin on the streets so girlfriends feel competition and start exposing skin too... Basically, those idols and singers are not idols and singers but sponsored porn stars. (TN: WTF?????????)

5. [+487, -16] Looks good to me but I wonder what their parents think
