Depends on their age right??? If the members we've seen are minors then that's kinda creepy right?

More like 15/16 years old, garam is still 16 years old
The first two photos look super awkward.
Just gonna copy and paste what I said in another thread because I feel like it's relevant to this.
I feel like it's up to the parents and adults in her life to be upset about the length of her skirt. Also I don't really like judging young girls for their clothing style because I feel like I'd be contributing, though unintentionally, to the idea that things like sa and harassment are down to the woman and how she's dressed. I feel like as a society we should be focusing on pedos and perverts being in the wrong instead.
Also I just see a tennis racket and a dress that is similar to what actual teens wear
sorry I don't see anything sexy in it
so nope to their claims
the only thing that they could argue about are probably shoes, but overall I've seen pro female players wearing more revealing clothes during their games

my own opinion is its a little weird,
from my pov(from what others see it as), its not so much about how revealing the clothes are
its more like they took a common outfit (tennis) decided it wasent sexy enough, so then added heels/stocking sock things to make it more sexy, which when your dealing with minors, is gonna raise a few eyebrows

It's not always about what you wear that makes something supposed to be sexy. It's also about the pose, the angle, the expression of the person in the photo.
It's good you don't look at these 2 minors and think it's sexy though. Hopefully more people, specifically adults attracted to women, think like you. *Then again, people can make anything sexy if their mind is already predispositioned to be creepy in that way.*
i honestly don't think there's anything inherently sexual about this concept. it looks like a high fashion pictorial. the outfits are not revealing, the poses are not particularly "sexy" tho garam's could be argued to be uncomfortable. what is so "sexy" about holding a tennis racket and wearing heels? honestly? people are telling on themselves by saying they think these pictures are inappropriate
the people who are sexualizing the minors are more at fault imo
The first 2 pictures look really awkward 
What is sexy about those pics? I'd be more concerned about those who are sexualizing them. There isn't anything sexual about tennis or girls in tennis uniforms.
If it's about the length of the clothes, you guys must know that majority of the girls nowadays wear those and shorter fits. So yeah I don't get what's the problem besides the fact knetz are exaggerating
The green dress photo weirded me out when I first saw it too. She looks so young but the photoshoot is designed to be sexy. Comes off as very creepy

Voluntarily but that's not how industry works, it's the company choosing outfits and whatever. I don't think the problem is the outfits here because they look fine but the poses, esp garam one

Well to be fair, on the leaked photo of Garam she is wearing a shorter skirt than the dress she is in the photo.
Yeah I agree some poses might look rather awkward but I wouldn't call them sexy
who plays tennis in high heels, they should have put them in sneakers obvi
besides the shoes i don't see a problem with what they are wearing
the second photo is weird and awkward

Obviously women can wear whatever they want because it's their choice but when it comes to the industry it's different because they don't have a say, esp if they are rookies and regardless if idols like it or they don't care it's more about the intention of the company
When girlies are doing cute concept they’re sexualized when they’re doing mature concept they’re sexualized too...
When eleven was released people were saying it was inappropriate for Leeseo because apparently it was too “sexual”
Women can’t win...
honestly speaking, 14/15 year olds just should not be debuting. then it wouldn't be a problem. but garam is 17 this year. the outfit is normal for a 17 year old. 17 year olds wear heels. people are honestly conflating "mature" with sexual.

Well K-netz also thought that a 17 year old/almost 18 year old Yuna wearing this was oversexualization of a minor.
So, it's probably just a difference in opinion on what is and isn't inappropriate for a minor to be wearing.
I don’t have a problem with the heels and tennis concept. This isn’t real life, it’s a photoshoot in Kpop. The first pic is fine for an adult. I think the third pic is fine too - I think it’s a good way of adapting the concept in the first pic to be age-appropriate for her. The second pic is where it goes sideways for me - that seems so inappropriate for a minor.

well conservative countries like korea care far more about cleavage being shown than legs and the ripped fishnets feels meh. so i can understand why that outfit is considered "oversexualized". but people are not talkign about garam's outfit in itself. they're saying they "concept" of wearing a dress like that while holding a tennis racket is "sexy" and that is just weird to me.

I'm right there with this. I played tennis when I was a teen and wore outfits like this. I know I wore heels too (though not while playing tennis of course). But who is sexualizing this, but the viewers?

I'm going to be honest, Garam's outfit is a bit short for me personally. Everything from the pose and how short her outfit is feels off for me. But, I also grew up more conservatively. Like as a teenager, I would not have worn anything like this, and my mom wouldn't let me. I know teenage girls were wearing things like this, but not me. I didn't start wearing short skirts till my 20s, and even then my mom would say something.
I think, if my daughter wanted to wear Garam's outfit at 16, I probably would tell her to wear something a bit longer. Even at 18 that would be my suggestion, but at that point, it's not up to me. I think I'm just a bit old fashioned in that way, which is probably the difference in how I view this versus others in this thread.
As for K-netz, I saw comments about both the outfit and the pose.
But, also, don't forget that even though adult women like Black Pink had "sexy" nurses in their MV, they were forced to edit it out because K-netz were so outraged about it. One of the few times I've seen YG bow to K-netz. So maybe Koreans are weird about concepts like that.
Guys it's because it's a photoshoot that it's problematic. If it was in real life I would have zero problem with a teenager dressing like this. Wouldn't have thought twice about it (I wore stuff like that). But this is an agency deciding to introduce their new girl group with teenage members with a photoshoot they must have known would be considered sexy (look at the 2nd photo). This is an agency trying to earn money by sexualizing minors.

Of course,I understand that. My point was that if she didn't mind wearing much shorter skirt to school then maybe it wasn't a problem to her to put on a longer dress. If the girls were uncomfortable though, which is something we can't really know, then it is indeed a problem
As others said, I find it a bid odd due to that whole heels situation. They give off the girls more mature look and knowing they're teens it just seems weird to me. Especially when the concept is tennis court

My point is regardless if idols are okay with their outfits or concepts, you have to think what's the intention of companies with all this stuff. I'd not say anything if idols are adults and they are the ones choosing the outfits and the company has nothing to do with it but that's not the usual.

That's a whole another topic tbh and I can't really know what are hybe,or any other company, 's intentions
