Controversial K-pop Girl Group Sparks Outrage with Sensual Performances for High School Students

This girl group has faced numerous controversies since their debut

Girl Crush is a girl group under HW Entertainment, an entertainment company. The group officially debuted in August 2019 with a lineup of four members: Taeri, Zia, Yuka, and Bomi. Girl Crush is known for its sexy image and provocative performances, sometimes bordering on controversial. The group regularly uploads dance clips showcasing bold choreography in revealing outfits on their official YouTube channel.

In addition, the group faced controversy when recruiting a new member born in 2005. This member is Hayun, a former member of the groups BABA and Blaze. Hayun’s presence at such a young age does not align with the direction that Girl Crush is currently pursuing, sparking debates and discussions.

Netizens are even more outraged as the management company has lied about Hayun being just an “intern” until she turns 18. However, a series of provocative performances and seductive attire in video clips featuring Hayun, no different from the other members, have been widely circulated on the internet, further fueling public anger. As of November 12, 2023, Hayun has not yet reached the age of 18.

Recently, Girl Crush continues to receive negative reactions from netizens. Typically, groups with such sexy concepts are only invited to perform at events for adults. However, a post on the group’s Instagram has just revealed that they performed at a high school festival. During this event, Girl Crush dressed more modestly than usual.

However, the new choreography is a controversial aspect of Girl Crush’s performances. Apart from executing inappropriate moves, the group also struck provocative poses in front of high school students as they left the stage to interact with the audience. Many opinions suggest that the group’s performance was “appalling.” Additionally, some comments unexpectedly mentioned Hwasa, as the female idol was previously investigated for performing provocatively in front of university students.

Some comments from netizens:

• Whoever allowed them to do this should be investigated immediately.
• What will the parents of these students think when they find out their children have seen things like this?
• Hey, don’t forget that Hwasa was investigated for inappropriate performances!
• Hwasa was summoned, don’t forget!
