Sana of the group TWICE has personally addressed the recent controversy surrounding her outfit.
On June 18, Sana explained through the fan communication platform Bubble, "When I was fitting the outfit, I wore it with the front secured so it wouldn't gape open. However, it was so hectic when I arrived at the event that I couldn't check myself in the mirror. I didn't even realize the outfit was open while being photographed until I returned to the waiting room."
She continued, "I was already upset that it didn't look like it did during the fitting, and it makes me even sadder that there is so much talk about it. I don't know," she added, sharing her honest feelings.
Earlier that day, TWICE attended a brand event held in Jongno-gu, Seoul, and participated in a photo session in front of video and photo journalists.
Sana wore a floral-patterned mini dress, but the front of the dress gaped open, exposing much of the inner garment. Some netizens expressed concern, asking, "Isn't that underwear that shouldn't be visible?" Others countered that since the inner garment appeared to be of the same pattern and material as the mini dress, it was intended to be shown naturally.
According to Sana's explanation, the outfit was designed to naturally reveal the inner layer, and she had intended to create a natural look by pulling up one side of the skirt's hem. However, the outfit did not drape as it had during the fitting, leading to criticism regarding excessive exposure. After discovering the situation in the waiting room, Sana adjusted her outfit before attending a second photo session. In photos and videos taken afterward, the front of her dress appeared more securely fastened.
Meanwhile, TWICE recently concluded their successful European tour, which began in London, and will hold their encore concert 'THIS IS FOR' at the KSPO DOME in Olympic Park, Seoul, from July 10 to 12.
