In a time where it seems like more K-Pop idols than ever are debuting at increasingly young ages, it’s a relief when a new group debuts that has an all-adult line-up. That’s why groups like KISS OF LIFE, whose members were all between the ages of 18 and 23 when they debuted, can be a breath of fresh air for those who worry about minors in the industry.

Of course, that doesn’t mean that adult K-Pop idols don’t deal with over-sexualization and controversial styling choices that might not be their own choice. And that’s why netizens are having mixed reactions over a revealing dress worn by the group’s member Natty.

The dress caught people’s attention in a recently released behind-the-scenes video of the photoshoot taken for their Born to Be XX album.
Early on in the video, Natty shows off the risqué black dress from head to toe, looking gorgeous and confident in the bold ensemble.

It’s not the first time that Natty in particular has caught netizens’ attention for her sexy styling. Some think that she, out of all of the group’s members, seems to get the most revealing outfits, even for their live performances.

The overall consensus seems to be positive, with fans supporting her choice in styling as long as it’s her choice to do so and she feels comfortable in what she’s wearing.

Comments on a forum post about the outfit were a little more mixed than Twitter, but the overall opinion seemed to be about the same.
We hope that Natty feels comfortable with how she’s being styled, because she looks absolutely stunning!
