What I can’t stand is when they switch back and forth between the “cute and innocent” & “sexy and promiscuous” acts. I remember watching the WGs do their Tell Me Dance then later seeing their rendition of the PCD’s Don’t Cha performance with people (guys) in crowd cheering them on. I was like, “whoa, that’s not right.” They’re my age. I have nothing against them; even Big Bang does it too and they’re boys. I just find it to be really irresponsible especially towards their prepubescent fans. Sometimes they come off as very artificial. To me the scariest people are dirty creepy old men.

It doesn’t go back to just 15 year olds, it’s also little kids in their pre-puberty days. I remember going to Lotte World and there was this kinda concert thingg where 2 guys and 1 girl (non-Korean, surprise!) sang a few popular Korean hits. There was this one part where a bunch of girls got to get up on stage and one girl did a bit of a hip-shake (think belly dancer) and everyone was like “OOO” while I was just like “…HUH?!” but I pretended to be in awe (when in Rome…). There’s a show where they hosted a bunch of preschool/kindergartens and this one tiny girl started to do body “waves” and I was just staring at my screen and thinking “what is with this world?” girls in my school dress in small skirts and shorts (but I notice the upper-classmen wear in a more fashionable and elegent way then just sporting a mini-skirt and shirt 2 sizes small) and try to expose cleavage that isn’t there (snorts).
that child thong thing is scary and freaky. are you sure you just didn’t confuse it with dental floss?

really, the wonder girls are so obviously sexualised (and love the fact that they deny they have a sexy image). i thought the oldest one was HyunAh when i first started watching their performances because she’s got such a sexy and mature voice, then later i realised that she was like 15 and i felt it was sooo wrong for her to be singing like that. it didn’t even matter that i didn’t understand what she was saying, the way she was making those noises were just not right. she’s just 15!!!

It seems like society is going slightly backwards…
Back in the days of no electricity, girls were getting married off at the age 14 and up all over the world, in Eastern and Western societies.

Anyway, I would have to say that this over sexualization of young teenage girls is really awkward to say the least. They’re dancing around like prostitutes! But that’s not the most unnerving part, what’s really sad is so many people find it acceptable. X.x
Plus, they’re selling their looks not their musical talent, which is practically nonexistent.

Yeah, I think more discomfiting than 16-year-olds dancing sexily is knowing they'd been trained to dance like that since they were 10 or 11. Marketing sexuality is nothing new but some things are plain disturbing -- thong underwear for children, anyone?

I really find this disturbing. They have no business whatsoever dancing half dressed at that age. Tolerance my foot. I’m utterly disgusted by what we are being exposed to. And it’s getting harder for kids NOT to try to fit in with what is the “norm.” You don’t have to got an Amish community just make sure that you are in your kids lives and I don’t believe in children having any rights whatsoever on how to dictate what to buy. I can’t imagine why parents can’t simply say NO to buying a Britney-look-alike clothing. Argh!
