I generally don’t watch these KPOP award shows, because I quite frankly don’t give that much of a fuck. After a certain “incident” the other day on the KBS Gayo Daejun, though, I kind of wish I had watched it. Luckily, however, we live in the twenty-first century, and there’s shit like YouTube that exists. So, my adoring fans, feast your eyes on this:
Yeah. That’s right. You just saw SISTAR‘s Hyorin‘s ass… multiple times. Hell, if you paid attention, there was some pretty clear Bora ass in the mix, too. If you somehow missed it, though, here’s a quick screen cap (NSFW, but you should totally click it anyway).
So, a couple of things come to mind now. First of all:
And, secondly, I am actually quite surprised that we haven’t gotten a bootylicious peek before (thankfully so in stick-vampire Dasom‘s case). I mean, have you seen their “So Cool” promotional outfits? They’re wound up tighter than Park Bom on a bad day. Starship clearly wanted this indecent exposure to happen sooner or later, because, unless they’re run by a bunch of blind fourth graders, there’s no way they could not have seen this coming. Not that I’m complaining, though, because (and I mean this in the most non-derogatory way possible), damn, girl, that’s one fine gluteus maximus.
You know, speaking of dresses, a wise netizen once said:
its never short enough !
Indeed, netizen, indeed. Still, there are some young and impressionable KPOP-ers out there that seem to have their panties in a bunch over this heinous (lol) crime against their innocent eyes. Case in point:
Oh my gosh! That picture is horrifying!!!!! I feel… Dirty looking at it. Oh my gosh. If you bend that low shouldn’t you know to wear something decent?
Oh, PUH-LEASE, child. If you feel dirty seeing this, I daren’t imagine the depths of hell you’d be trapped in when watching the Olympics. I mean, there’s just ass everywhere at the Olympics, not to mention Michael Phelps’ face. God forbid these athletes should start jumping around and dancing in their “horrifying” and “dirty” outfits.
Seriously, though, I think we’ve all had enough fun at the expense of our favorite singing butterface. Let’s leave this all behind us and move on. And, until next time, Hyorin:

Tuc, I usually agree with whatever you write. But your justification for Hyorin showing her panties here simply makes no sense. You made it sound like this:
“Hyorin showing her ass is no big deal cause come on! Olympic athletes show their asses all the time!”
Doing something just cause other people are doing it doesn’t justify an action. But thats minor. But come on, do you even take into account context? Gymnasts/swimmers/divers/high jumpers etc wear tight and short/under-looking things sometimes not cause they are there to show the entire world their asses. They are doing it for sports-related reasons, be it convenience, ease of executing a move etc, and are doing it in the context of sports competitions. I usually don’t wear short shorts, but cause i play badminton at a competitive level, i do so on the courts – not cause i want to show people my legs but cause its convenient – sports wise.
People don’t usually view these athletes in a sexual way (though some do), but its a totally different thing for hyorin given the context she was in. she was jumping around on stage, choreography involves bending over, you wear a skirt like that u are bound to flash something. it was a sexualised performance. she wasn’t told to wear that for convenience, ease of movement (though that could be plausible reasons who knows) or because she could execute a high jump properly. the stylists could have given her more decent clothing to wear and she would still be able to dance properly. so no excuses should be made for her and her stylist team.
Sorry for the long rant, really. But As a sportsperson i was quite irritated with the comparison. not to mention I found that whole panty-flashing thing from hyorin to be pretty trashy actually. This wasn’t meant as a personal attack though, I still enjoy reading your articles:)
