K-pop girl group Sixbomb have fallen into a pot of trouble by dressing in skintight pink body suits.
Sixbomb are presently barred from appearing in music shows to promote their new single Wait 10 Years Baby after Korean television regulators deemed their pink body suits - which the girls wore in their music video and were planning to also don in their live performances - as inappropriately raunchy for broadcast.
"The group is unable to make any appearance on TV due to various regulations. It is a pity to not be able to show the costume to everyone," Sixbomb's agency Peacemaker Entertainment reportedly said, according to The Korea Herald.
The pink body suits and the subsequent broadcast censorship have elicited mixed reactions from K-pop fans.
Some online commenters chimed in that the outfits were too revealing and made the Sixbomb girls unattractive.
"They look like naked pink chickens in the pink suit," said YouTube user kpoppink on the "Wait 10 Years Baby" music video's comments section, and was the top-rated reaction as of this posting.
But there were also fans that defended the girls, saying that even though the body suits may be unstylish, they still notice great qualities about the group.
"All right. I really like them, if you watch their cover videos they are great!" said YouTube user 1337nocomment, before going off on a tirade against the management and stylist teams that allowed the girls to dress up in the much-maligned outfits.
Due to the very negative response to the pink body suits, Sixbomb has reportedly changed their live performance costumes so they can resume promotions.
What do you think of the Sixbomb pink body suits, and do you agree that they should have been barred from broadcast for those costumes?
