omonatheydidOn February 8th, girl group Stellar released their single "UFO" with new members Hyoeun and Minhee, replacing members JoA and Lee Seul, who have returned as the ballad group Honey Dew.
Stellar has been engulfed in a costume controversy. Last year, girl group Girl's Day went through a similar controversy with their stage costumes for "Twinkle Twinkle," where their safety shorts were clearly seen under their short skirts, which netizens have called nicknamed it the "diaper fashion."
Prior to their 1st comeback stage on Mnet M! Countdown tonight, Stellar revealed their 2nd music video teaser for "U.F.O," which has caused a ruckus amongst netizens online.
Three of the Stellar members can be seen wearing skirts that flare out, giving them a school-girl, but sporty look.
During the teaser, Stellar performs a choreography in which their back is turned to the camera, swiveling their hip around. The camera clearly catches the white safety shorts of one of the members as this move was performed.
Netizens commented, "Are we openly showing panties now?" "This is just noise marketing," and "Why are you showing to young kids?"
In regards to this incident, Stellar's agency Top Class Entertainment said to Sports Seoul, "Underneath the skirt was a white colored underpants, not at all like underwear."
The official continues, "Stellar is scheduled for a comeback today wearing that costume, so the choreography will be changed accordingly."

I do believe it's noise marketing. They are not that populair.
