(G)I-DLE has ignited a heated debate among fans both domestically and internationally with the release of their 'Klaxon' dance video. The video, posted on their official YouTube channel, showcases the members in revealing attire, which has raised concerns and sparked controversy.
The dance video, titled "Jeju Island Batgodong replaced by (G)I-DLE Klaxon," features the members wearing bikini tops and white shirts, with their behinds exposed during Jeon Soyeon's rap part. The camera angle captures Soyeon lifting a long top and shaking her hips from a lower angle, while other members like Yuqi and Miyeon, positioned behind her, also prominently display body parts.
The excessive exposure has led to a wave of criticism from fans. One fan commented, "We understand this is a sexy concept, but this is too much." Another lamented, "I miss the (group's) past. The concept of the beach and swimwear is nice, but the level of exposure is shocking. Please cover up a bit." Some fans also expressed disappointment in the group's direction, with comments such as, "This is so cheap..." and "I was shocked."

Conversely, some fans welcomed the bold concept, defending the group's choice. Supportive comments included, "They are all adults. It's summer, so they can try a sexy concept if they want to," and "It fits well with the lyrics of 'NXDE' ('Nude'). It matches them."

A significant point of criticism centers around the potential negative influence on minors, who form a substantial part of (G)I-DLE's fanbase. The video is not age-restricted on YouTube, making it accessible to viewers of all ages. Critics argue that the group's management should consider the appropriateness of their content, given their influence on teenagers.
The release of 'Klaxon' on July 8, along with its music video and dance video, continues to divide fans. While some appreciate the group's boldness and alignment with the song's theme, others are calling for a return to less revealing concepts.

- "This is so cheap..."

- "Aigo, why are they going towards that direction too..."
- "Ugh I was shocked."
- "No but why are they doing this ... ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ"
- "I feel like everyone is wearing bikinis as outfits lately..ㅠ"
- "Aigo what is this."
- "This team has always shown a lot of skin, I don't care what age they are, or how it or miss it is, I'm just stating facts ㅎㅎ"
- "This was too much..."
As the debate continues, the group and their management face the challenge of balancing artistic expression with the expectations and concerns of their diverse fanbase.
