TWICE Chaeyoung & Jeong Somi Stir K-pop Community For Lifting Their Shirts In Friendship Photo
On April 2, Chaeyoung uploaded numerous photos on her official Instagram account, showing a girl's night out with her longtime best friend Jeon Somi. The "ONE SPARK" singer declared in the caption that the date is a celebration of their 11-year friendship.
Photos show how the two friends spent their night on April 1, with some images featuring them having fun by wearing wigs in a photobooth, and casually strolling the streets.
However, one photo managed to capture most of netizens' attention.
On April 2, netizens established an online discussion, which talked about the now-deleted photo of Chaeyoung and Jeon Somi playfully lifting their shirts in the booth. The uploaded photo in the forum showed how the gesture exposed Chaeyoung's mid-riff and Somi's bra.
The reactions of K-netz in the comments section were less than favorable, as internet users expressed their shock at Chaeyoung and Somi's daring gesture. Meanwhile, some called out the author for re-uploading the photo again online.
Read their comments below:
"Celebrities are a mess this year."
"Wow, this is interesting."
"This isn't about "the online world is different" but rather, they'll get sworn at by anyone in real life if they acted like that."
"If they were commoners, they'd get so much hate. People will go 'hey did you see what they just did?' like that."
"They took it down, so is it okay for you to post it?"
"Isn't this what people all do? Release something that was deleted at the speed of light? who cares?"
Others defended the two stars on a separate platform and X (Twitter).
"Girls having fun. Who cares. At least she is not showing her boobs. Otherwise, it would be a real scandal."
"They are both grown, who cares?"
"Mind you some stage outfits these days expose just as much."
"So, women like Jessi, Hyuna, and Hwasa can do that and y'all called them mothers but when it's both of them (who are also women), it's suddenly a big problem?
"Why are you guys mad over bras? Are y'all 12 or conservative Christians? What is going on in the comments?"
"Am I the only one confused what are they mad about? I only see a picture of two friends."
"People getting mad at this are the same type who gag over Calvin Klein shoots and want their faves doing it. Make your mind up."
When a male idol posts photos shirtless he's hot and sexy Why does women's body scare y'all so much? Is it because you haven't seen one ever or just hate people being comfortable in their own bodies? https://t.co/YAo5giqgPx
