Outfit from ‘Water Bomb’ / Eunbi Kwon’s Instagram
Singer Eunbi Kwon’s stage costume was on the chopping board.
Kwon Eun-bi’s swimsuit costume at the music festival ‘Water Bomb Seoul’ became a hot topic, and she is gaining popularity, which is called the second golden age after IZ*ONE, including appearances on various web entertainment shows and a comeback on the music charts.
However, as the sexy-emphasizing outfits at Waterbomb left an imprint on the public, ever since, more and more revealing outfits have been shown at various events. As a result, public popularity increased, but some fans were concerned that it was being consumed as a single image.
At first, it was only a matter of concern to some, but on the 20th, the stage costumes for the National Police University Festival became the starting point of controversy. Some fans who saw this decision pointed out that the agency was pushing Kwon Eun-bi into unreasonable sexual commercialization.

Eventually, a hashtag movement called “Kwon Eun-bi change her outfit” appeared online, and fans flooded in with demands for Kwon Eun-bi’s agency, Woollim Entertainment, to “change her outfit” and “respect and protect celebrities.”
Fans pointed out that as Kwon Eun-bi started wearing provocative outfits, there were more posts online that amounted to sexual harassment or defamation.
Of course, there are counterarguments. As a dance singer, Kwon Eun-bi only wears music and costumes suitable for the stage, and focuses more on the fact that the singer is in her prime, which is said to be excessive censorship.

She even got wet.”
The pros and cons of Kwon Eun-bi’s outfit continue to be debated, with fans’ concerns and the public’s opinions conflicting.
