Let me clarify : Your body, your choice and you should be allowed to wear whatever.
But have y’all noticed how boy groups in kpop are super protective about their abdomen. Many male (eg. Lee Know) refuse to show(again, his choice). But it's completely normal for female idols to wear crop tops.
Notice the photos. Every girl has her stomach exposed, while the boys are fully covered.
It’s, like, the opposite of the standard in the world where women are told to cover up more. And honestly it is kinda refreshing, weird and funny ig.
(Let’s keep aside the fact that Bang Chan did give us a whole strip show at the GDAs, which the ggs generally won’t (or don’t) do because they don’t have the target audience lol.)
Edit : I did not know about Lee Know's scar lol.
