Recently, Tsuki made an appearance at the 2026 F/W Seoul Fashion Week for the Adriel Ross fashion show. While the idol is usually known for her bubbly image, this appearance left a strong impression on the public, as she went for a completely different vibe.

Tsuki appeared in an all-black ensemble comprising a corset-style top, ruffled mini skirt, an oversized jacket, and chunky boots. Her long, curly pig tails added to the bold and edgy concept.

However, many people expressed their discomfort with the black lace garter above her stockings. In a clip, Tsuki was seen readjusting the bands, appearing a little uncomfortable before pulling them up and walking ahead confidently.

This clip, which has garnered over eight million views at the time of writing, has been met with polarizing reactions. Some argued that she was well within her rights to dress sexily as an adult woman, while others felt this kind of styling is mostly imposed on female idols.

She looks sexy, but alsosuper uncomfortable… It feels like she’s been trying to push this sexy, lewd succubus image since forever, but it just doesn’t work.

Please stop dressing her in clothes like this. Why are they doing this?

Dressing female idols in such outfits is misogynistic and undermines women’s rights.

Given the entertainment industry’s reputation for exploiting female artists for profit, people’s anxiety about certain styling choices cannot be entirely dismissed. However, in the process, fans sometimes also end up interfering with these artists’ bodily autonomy. While online fandom spaces continue to battle this dichotomy, perhaps the only solution is to let each artist speak for themselves.
