Had
to get this of my chest. You remember my last AOA post about them apparently
being too sexy? Yes well they actually changed their choreography for
“Miniskirt” for their appearances on the different music stages. Even though
they already appeared on a few music stages with their “too” sexy dance. By
taking the advice provided by fans they will calm down their dance. The first
performance of their new choreography will be presented on Music Bank. Question for you guys. Do you think there are too many female
groups out there using the sexy concept?
Sechskies
member Eun Ji Won
provided his opinion on that subject. In a nutshell he said if every girl group
used the sexy concept K-Pop will become too sexual and that girl groups also need
to use the cute concept. Super Juniors Heechul also had something to say about
the sexy concept. He pretty much said that the cute concepts have been reserved
for the children who are on “Dad! Where Are We
Going?” and he compared being an entertainer to being a purchasable
product. The product has to appeal to the buyer for it to be bought.
Now back to AOA “Miniskirt”. Since the song
came out it has received over one million views. The song is catchy and has
potential to get stuck in your head. But everyone is finding it upsetting
because of all their booty shaking. I was more offended by Gary’s “Shower
Later” then this song. They also contrasted their sexiness with some innocents
thrown in. the members of AOA are women who I would say are comfortable with
their bodies. I don’t think that this video is over-sexualized. It just is what
it is. They are not shy about embracing their
sexuality. I didn’t think their skirts were too short or embarrassing to watch
them unzip there skirts either. I think this was a clean sexy. People need to get
off their high horse and just deal with it.
The truth is sex sales. I see more people
complaining about how this female group is too sexy but they don’t complain
about the male groups being too sexy. A man can show off their abs and its
okay, but if a female is wearing skirt that people deem too short it’s
inappropriate. I think Korea is a little more conservative then America but are
they going to force grown, mature women to use a cute concept. Every group
should fine a concept that fits them. They shouldn’t be forced to use either
cute, sexy or a tomboy concept. Let women be women. For your music to sale you
do need to appeal to the audience. So you need to adapt to what is popular. Cute
concepts need to be used for those who are younger or just has that certain
look. But grown women and men should be able to be comfortable and sexy. Let
them be themselves and not force them into a box that fits our own beliefs. I
come from a religious background but I don’t have a cow over what they wear. I
may not be a fan of AOA’s but we should support them no matter their concept. Every
year there will be a concept that is more popular.
