A member of a HYBE girl group is drawing unexpected backlash online, this time, over the way she walks.
Recently, Lara of KATSEYE became the target of criticism after a short clip of her walking circulated on social media. While most fans didn’t see an issue, one netizen’s harsh comment quickly gained attention and sparked debate.
The netizen accused Lara of trying too hard to appear sexy.

Many fans defended Lara, arguing that walking confidently should not be grounds for criticism and that idols are often accused of “trying too hard” no matter what they do.
