They found a Secret de Polichinelle...


But sure we love KPOP girls not only for this..and most of our favorites are over 16...  like After School leader Park GaHee (1982) :-)

Lawmakers are planning to call entertainment producers to the carpet and ask them this: Are songs and performances by girl idol groups too suggestive, given that most of the members are underage?

The lawmakers plan to summon owners of local major entertainment companies - including SM Entertainment and DSP Media - to a National Assembly audit and inspection hearing next week to determine whether songs and performances of girl groups are provocative, given that most of the girls are no more than teenagers.

“Lawmakers will point out legal and ethical problems of companies that make underage singers wear short pants to expose their thighs and legs on TV shows and sing songs with suggestive moves and lyrics that would create sexual fantasies,” said Grand National Party lawmaker Ahn Hyoung-Hwan, who belongs to the assembly committee.


The Korea Communications Standards Commission in June warned the three local broadcasters - SBS, KBS and MBC - about the suggestive performances of underage idol stars and the broadcasters raised the age limit of performers on the music shows from 12 years old to 15 years old.

But critics say the decision is ironic, given that teenagers aged 14 and older can watch the live shows.
