The Truth is Revealed; Rainbow's Pool Dance Wanted by No One

[velvetsunglass.livejournal.com]

Idol group Rainbow’s synchronized swimming performance is on the chopping blocks again, this time for being too sexual.

On MBC’s “Idol Star Athletics & Swimming Championships”, Rainbow revealed their amazing synchronized swimming performance to their song “A”. It was reported that the members trained for 4 months with a professional just for this performance.

The performance is now being criticized for being overly sexual, as the camera angles inappropriately captured the Rainbow members’ body parts, such as their butts.

Viewers commented, “There were moments of the performance that I just couldn’t watch”, “I didn’t feel comfortable watching the parts where they showed off their butts”, “I can’t believe it was a special performance. It was just too much“, showing off much of their discomfort at viewing the ’sexual’ performance.

The program was already a hot topic even before it was filmed. Viewers were concerned about the idols wearing revealing bathing suits arguing, “I feel uncomfortable at the idea that young girls have to reveal their bodies“. To counter this criticism, the production team decided on a closed filming, but the idea of the championships being too sexual has not been avoided.

Yep that's all Rainbow's fault. They totally controlled the angles the cameraman shot.

“I feel uncomfortable at the idea that young girls have to reveal their bodies“
They're all 19+ and they're in one-piece swimsuits. What do you mean.

While I am miffed with the random synchronized swimming performance, it's only because it was pretty unimpressive, from what I saw of the videos on Youtube.

[niara-honey.livejournal.com]

ia with being unimpressed. I kinda sat there like "hmm... -clicks next video-"
:/

Korea, dis is why u can't have nice things...

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

They were wearing full piece bathing suits and skirts. The only way you'd see less skin in swimwear is to wear bloomers. And those "butt shots" weren't sexual. Seriously, it was less sexual than most competitive synchro I've seen.

No love whiners. You fail.

[wicked-elegance.livejournal.com]

Lol revealing? Their bathers were ugly in my opinion. And it was only something ridiculous as 40-50seconds long.
My god. /shakes head.

Good on them for working hard with a routine in the water, a shame they weren't received well.

[ghost-whisper.livejournal.com]

Honestly, how sexual can you get in a swim cap, goggles and nose plugs? XD

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

YOU GUYS, I'M REALLY WORRIED ABOUT THE NATIONS PSYCHE OKAY!

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

I am glad they didn't see Queen Uee in a swimsuit! I don't think they are ready to handle so much sexyness and flawless perfection. Pretty sure a lot of ppl would faint due to the massive loss of blood from nosebleeding.

[kiwicutting.livejournal.com]

Just be glad they were the synchronized swimming swimsuits instead of the ones people would actually wear to the pool.
