On the September 9th broadcast of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros," Hwasa made a surprise appearance in celebration of the show's 400th episode. The MAMAMOO member also performed her newest solo song "I Love My body," which was released last September 6th. However, instead of her impressive live performance, her outfit got more attention from the Korean media and public.
"With a kind of bikini top or a style reminiscent of a bra top, some even introduced the strange word 'school uniform bra top,' evaluating it as a unique style of MAMAMOO's Hwasa, however the public's reaction was cold," claims one local media outlet.

Others also pointed out that no matter how confident Hwasa is, she crossed the line by turning her school uniform into a sexy one.
In her newest song, which convey the message, "I will cherish and love my body, which is the most precious but easy to forget than anything else in the world," Hwasa also performs a choreography that emphasizes her body even more. Not only Hwasa but also female back-up dancers showed sensational performances with crop shirts and short skirt school uniform styling, which ended up raising eyebrows.
Koreans react to the criticism saying:
- ㅜㅜ Hwasa keeps having headlines like this
- Knowing Bros originally keep changing the uniforms... they have the concept of school
- I wore a uniform like that
- Everyone is nitpicking everything
- That's a Britney Spears homage.
- Uniforms are like uniforms that are worn by certain people, so if you change them too much, it's worth talking about. (For example, nurses and flight attendants' clothes were criticized for music videos and things like that.)
- Isn't that a copy of Britney Spears? Wearing that throughout the shoot?
- That program is always like that. Some celebrities have a lot of shields and others don't
- But even if it's in the classroom, it doesn't look like a school uniform
- The Britney Spears concept that came out almost 25 years ago can be controversial in our country now
