i think a very big point that you missed in this video is the fact that sexy concepts predominantly came as a marketing tactic from companies to profit off of women's bodies and leading to them being objectified in expense of us as an audience not really knowing if they wanted to participate in such concept in the first place, with many known cases of idols not feeling comfortable on set while filming music videos and some even crying while preparing a comeback, leading to an unhealthy relationship between fans that were willing to listen to group and lift up the sales but that at the same time were demanding of a percentage of body exposure of their idols in order to stan (i hope my point is coming across), as well as degrading their image and with that denying the artistic identity that, i assume, they wanted to be known as.

@reneemeow5375 Stellar was done so wrong. And even if the company really wanted to have a mature concept, the least they could've done is give the girls non revealing clothes to perform in. Idk why they thought making them be damn near naked was gonna sell albums when all the successful girl groups have never had to stoop that low. Even their vid with the vag concept. It was inappropriate but kindof iconic lol. It would've been more tasteful if the girls were in regular clothing.

I think the biggest dropout from s*xy girl group concepts since gen 2/3 is hugely because in gen 3 a lot of former s*xy girl group members came forward and expose that their company was manipulating, gaslighting or threatening them into it. This is why not even most adults will still be fond of supporting these types of groups, because every single time you wonder for the safety of the idol. Not only minors are unsafe in kpop, but definitely adult idols are also often very unsafe. And even if their entertainments didn't force them, usually a loooot of creeps would still follow these members around and talk NSFW to them for no reason after their idol career. Lots of harassment. I personally don't mind a hint of grown woman energy in a kpop mv, but I tend to avoid it these days due to said mention reasons I listed.

Now tbh it feels like they are trying to blur the lines with sexy and age appropriate concepts. To me "cookie" and even "attention" by new jeans is a perfect example of that. The creators can put in innuendos and seductive dancing to songs and claim ignorance as a scapegoat. Sad to see. The solution is just debut women over 18 but they're not going to anytime soon.

I was a teenager during start of 3 gen when I liked K-pop, I was a gg Stan and was drawn to sexy girl groups. I was a huge 9M and AOA fan. I liked the sound of their music more than other concepts. I actually like more elegant concepts instead of sexy, but that was the sound during the time and I liked it a lot.

I think the sexy concept we saw often in gen 2 has been repackaged to female empowerment in gen 3. The new sexy for the female gaze/female audiences instead of catering to male gazes. That’s not the way the sexy concept was only for male audiences but it was one way to get public attention.

I kinda disagree about hyolyn, as a SISTAR & Hyolyn fan, she is well respected idol in south korea, she may not be popular among new inter-fans but she was and still is a big artist in south korea and many idols idolize her, and I don't think she isn't well respect because of her sexiness because people always consider Sistar(and hyolyn) as classy sexy or naturally sexy artist that doesn't have to show overly sexiness, and they are mostly ok with their sexy images. Hyolyn case is more like her songs don't get enough appreciation and love since most of her songs after Sistar disbandment didn't really do well on chart. and Sistar had small fandom even though they're known as unbreakable wall top 3 GG with snsd & 2ne1. So after Sistar Disbandment, she haven't got many support from her fans (and most of Sistar fans are grown up and busy with their life), also most Hyolyn songs don't match with general public taste, that's why Hyolyn is not seem like well respected idol, but still she is considered as well respected artist in entertainmant industry.

I miss it because the sexy concepts always had good music because it has to be good to be respected and in previous gens the minor member was out to the back while the older members get to show out. But now companies make their youngest the main visual so these concepts can't capitalize off their main visual properly.snsd was marketed as artists who were wholesome and just happened to be sexy. It was already sold and their performance didn't focus on their sex appeal but the art and portraying the music which provides a more relatable experience

I can't quite get my head around it but I think what you say isn't wrong, but it's more complicated. One the one hand Koreans were and still are more conservative than westerners. SNSD was actually made sexier relatively speaking when they tried to be more successful in the west, but it failed. On the other hand, there was a time when Kpop in general was a lot sexier than it is now, and that was also true of boy groups. There were several videos rated 18+, the jokes in variety shows were a lot naughtier etc. In part that seems to have disappeared due to western pressure for more "political correctness". Sexy yes, but sexual exploitation of women no, and it's very difficult to draw the line, so perhaps it's easier to stay away from it altogether. When boys do sexy concepts even they get criticised, eg for sexual exploitation of minors, sexualisation of men, or gay baiting. What I do wholeheartedly agree with though is your point about the intensity of following. In general male fans don't tend to form intense "parasocial relationships" as much with individuals as female fans do, and I don't meant that term in the negative sense as it is sometimes falsely used (in media studies it is a neutral term). In this regard men and women act very much like they do in real life. Not saying all of them, but the majority. The most common fantasy of men is a "harem" of pretty, interchangeable girls whereas women tend to want a monogamous long term fantasy boyfriend. That's why the extreme of "rotational groups" in Japan with a high number of members who get constantly voted in and out mostly on the basis of looks only works with ggs and not bgs. Eg in Korea fans protested against changing the lineups of Super Junior and NCT. That said, in the early days of Kpop there was stuff that I still can't believe existed, I assume there must have been less (self-)censorship in SK of the media in general, eg for some time idols with dyed hair were banned on TV, and in K-dramas not even kisses could be shown, yet idols both male and female in some TV shows and on stage were doing fanservice that even westerners today would find quite jaw dropping - amongst the same sex, mind you, sexes touching each other while dancing was much more scandalous. So you really can't discuss such things as sexiness without understanding cultural differences.

During the golden era (2009-2012) the girl groups took care of Korean fanbase, and it was almost made by guys in the 20's (like soldiers) but even few uncles supported them. Many female idols were models for underwear brands and they weren't shy to show their beautiful bodies. Miss that time.

Kiss of Life:)

I think hyolyn should be forgiven because, she was the first idol to have lots of black choreographers and backup dancers. I dont think black people would work with her if she was racist and also she was lipsincyng to a song.
