Mamamoo, a prominent K-pop girl band, has run into legal issues after one of its members, Hwasa, was accused of executing sexually explicit dance routines while playing at Sungkyunkwan University, a private university in Seoul.
A civic group, primarily made up of parents, has filed a formal complaint against the K-pop diva for the dancing act she performed at the institute in May.
“Hwasa’s gesture suggested a perverted sexual act and was enough to bring embarrassment and shame to the public who witnessed it. As the gesture doesn’t fit the context of the choreography, it can not be interpreted as performance art,” said the complaint filed by the parent group, according to Korean media reports.
The performance was part of the music show “Dancing Queens on the Road” on cable channel tvN, which features South Korean dance artists Kim Wan-sun, Uhm Jung-hwa, Lee Hyo-ri, BoA, and Hwasa touring the Asian country and performing at various locales.
