With recent concerns about the sexual nature of of KARA’s new song, there may be another road block along the way for the group.

On the 23rd, a representative of ‘Music Bank’ stated, “If we feel the need, we will ask for either the clothes or the dance to be changed.”

The girl group just recently released the MV for their new track, “Pandora“. However, one of 자신의dance moves 곳 they remove 자신의 jackets to reveal their backs 되었다 controversial. Their outfits were 짧고 tight, comparable to a swim suit, and the way they revealed the backs of their nude colored shirts gave 을 the illusion of a backless outfit.

The girls performed the choreography at their showcaseon August 22nd. Though the outfits 것처럼 보일 수 innocent 충분히 by 자체, there are a total of 3 instances where the 여자 group 을 벗고 their jackets하는 동안 the 노래, and it may not be appropriate for 자신의 upcoming KBS2 '뮤직 Bank' comeback stage.

A representative at ‘Music Bank’ stated, “We are more conservative than 다른 broadcasting 업체 about the nature of 옷 and dances, not just for KARA but for all groups. This is 때문에 of 우리 broadcast is rated for 그 15 years and older. And as 많은 as this 되고있다 an issue, we 을 묻는 메시지가 표시됩니다 changes to be 변경 if 우리가 feel [the dance] pushes the limitations. ”

The rep continued, “We will make our decision after seeing the choreography in person.”

Music Bank is known to strictly regulate racier performances that are not actually based on the song, and even request outfit adjustments during rehearsals. In the past, 4minute and Rania were both asked to change their choreography because of moves that required the girls to spread their legs, and even KARA’s label mate Rainbow was once censored for their ‘bellybutton dance’.

But what do you think? Is KARA’s new dance too provocative? Or is it just an expression of their style?

KARA《PANDORA》MV中造型过于煽情引争议

携新曲《PANDORA》回归舞台的KARA因MV服饰造型过于煽情而引起了一场争议。 

8月22日，KARA公开了第五张迷你专辑《PANDORA》的MV，展示了更为成熟强烈的形象。 尤其是，她们在MV中的服饰造型引人注目。 超短紧身的下衣与其说是衣服，看上去更像是泳衣，而且，脱去夹克露出的上衣让人感觉像是只穿了内衣一样。 因为组合成员中的姜智英只有18岁，还未成年，所以有指责称这样的造型太过火。 

看到MV的网民们纷纷表示“女生组合的衣服是越穿越暴露啊”，“真让人不好意思”，“我觉得这样还好吧”等，反应热烈。
