[News] KARA’s “Jumping” outfits banned from music programs

Despite KARA’s “Jumping” MV earning an explosive response, the girl group must go through some wardrobe changes in order to perform on Korean music shows. Their current outfits have been deemed as ‘too sexually suggestive’ by public broadcast programs, who have imposed stricter regulations on wardrobes.

Although the outfits were designed to fit the concept of their powerful track, the exposure of their belly buttons has made it impossible for fans to be able to see the girls wear them on stage.

“It’s disappointing that we are not able to show off the outfits when it received such a hot response. We desired to show off a different side of the girls in Korea, since the song is going to be promoted in both Japan and Korea,” said a representative of DSP Media.

KARA is currently preparing for their Korean comeback after releasing the song and music video for “Jumping.”
