EXO’s Kai is facing backlash for an overly exposing outfit during a concert soundcheck.
The idol showed up on stage in casual clothes, wearing his jeans pulled far below his waistline. This exposed a large portion of his underwear, sparking controversy online.
Netizens are horrified by how low his pants were worn, calling the look "too exposing" and "uncomfortable" to see.
Some comments read:
"Who is this? That’s pulled way too far down."
"The photo is Kai."
"These days male idols are doing this overlapping underwear fashion, showing their underwear. There are so many photoshoots like that too. But seriously, what’s cool about it…? Not even a little bit cool. Please, stop."
"What is this?"
"???? This is way too low."
"I’ve gotten used to seeing the waistband of underwear, but this photo still shocked me."
"That’s… pulled down a lot, huh?? Do idols usually go this far…?"
"Oh my gosh…"
"Ugh, this is annoying."
The controversy began as photos and videos of Kai’s outfit circulated, with viewers debating the line between fashion and indecency.
Fans and netizens remain split, but many agree this look pushed the boundaries far beyond typical underwear fashion trends among male idols.
