…oops!
Although the comment itself doesn’t confirm that she did in fact take the school uniform, many felt that it left room for suspicion. K-Netizens felt that she was a lucky to have debuted during a time where this type of comment was acceptable.

International netizens also agreed that her comment was ambiguous and that debuting at an earlier time had “saved” her.

What do you think of this? Considering the era we are in now, it could have been hard to get out of saying something like this on public TV.
