K-pop star Johyun has become the latest South Korean singer to become embroiled in a controversy over a revealing outfit.
The member of girl band Berry Good sparked the drama on Monday when she dressed as the character Ahri from video game League of Legends in an outfit that some said was “too revealing”.
The star from the six-member K-pop girl band appeared as the fox character – at a red carpet event in Seoul promoting the TV e-sports show Game Dolympic 2019: Golden Card scheduled to air later this year.
While some online critics said the outfit was vulgar, the star’s fans defended her and said the costume was a perfect representation of the Ahri character.
Fans said those who condemned Johyun “don’t understand the game character” and “she prepared the costume after thoroughly discussing with the network”.
