Both covering up by wearing suits or having flesh showing in provocative outfits can be empowering, the key point is the woman choosing what they want to wear, not caring what others think breaking down stigma and stereotypes on certain images/topics in a conservative society. The woman's choice is what matters and gives them power, rather than 'The Man' (society) telling them what to do and wear / when it's appropriate and isn't appropriate or to their liking.

I am glad AOA did it on Queendom stage, a show that is super popular and a lot of people will see it, but it was just an homage to Mamamoo's stage in 2016 MMA and I hate that everyone is forgeting that. Mamamoo had strong, empowering, feminist lyrics and performances since the beginning of their careers.

2016 was so boring it was like nothing happened there except we got some new rookie group that have showed the crush concept and literally 2016 was the year they had their first win it was nothing there yet they were still trying to process their fanbase more

Queendom isn´t popular, it just has 1% in views which for korean tv is quite crap, in other words not much people watch it. Though I'm happy for AOA for trying a new concept for them and showcasing mamamoo's performance from 2016, it makes me sad that a lot of people and Kpop stans don't credit Mamamoo and just hype AOA; do they deserve hype, well yeah, but credit where credit is due.

Everyone: Omg AOA groundbreaking Queendom performance, feminism and gender reversal !!!1!1 Moomoos: .... Mamamoo MMA 2016 stage / entire discography: Am I a joke to you? ❗️Edit: A lot of people liked this for the comment written above (312), but something in my head just clicked. The reason why people are so excited about AOA's stage is bc it's coming from a group that has been over sexualised their entire 8 year career. This is "groundbreaking" *for them* because it's almost a complete 180 from their normal concepts. A sexy group turning around and delivering this type of stage may be unheard of. Mamamoo have become their own standard for feminism and being pro lgbtq+ as they have been doing it their whole career, but AOA have never done anything to this extent before. I thought AOA's stage had nice vocals and the dancing was good, they even tried to interact with the audience as well which was cute, but for a long time I didn't understand where the hype for this stage was coming from when Mamamoo had already done this idea. But now I understand. It's all about the context of the group AOA themselves. They must have been pretty scared to stray so far from their usual image (which had allowed them to be so successful all these years), but they did well in this concept, and tbh *for AOA, this really was a groundbreaking performance.* As a moomoo, I am proud of their performance. As a woman, I am proud of their bravery. It takes guts to try something new on stage, especially in a conservative country like Korea where you're not sure how people will react, and also in front of the public who are used to viewing you only a certain (hyper sexualised) way. I hope AOA will continue with this kind of concept because I feel this new side allows all the members to shine much more! Whichever direction they go in the future, I hope it's done with the members' consent and their own input. This moomoo will now be cheering for AOA in the future! 👏🌱

[@CatterinaPoe]

Can we just give a brief shout out to the fact that Mamamoo has been working full time challenging the status quo for women in Korea for YEARS? "Hwasa's ass" is damn important cause she's one of very few mainstream artists that's thicc af and creates her own beauty standards instead of trying to fit in. And she's proud about it which she's showing by her outfits. Her skin is not ghost-dipped-in-flour-white either and she's rocking it despite tons of criticism. Her being unapologetic about the way she looks and forcing the industry to accept her is massive for women not only in Korea. Moving on to the others - Solar's pole-dancing on stage, taking ownership of her sexuality, not taking any prisoners; Byul has been dressing in suits, ties and floor-length coats since forever, giving everyone these masculine vibes and turning heads, not giving a rat's ass about no gender roles; Wheein being mature, smooth and chill, advocating for female friendships, relying on her gorgeous vocals and dance skills to die for.. I mean.. I could go on.

Bc it's something mamamoo used to do a lot (especially byul), the suits, mamamoo wear suits all the time, the reverse gender thing mamamoo did in uoay and decalcomanie, and then of course dancing with feminine male vogue dancers that mamamoo did in their legendary stage of mma in 2016.

[@123exo2]

Let’s take a moment to appreciate how AOA , a group known for sexy image and who blew up because of their sexy songs or men praising song like heart attack , made a 180 degree turn and showed such a powerful empowering performance like this. Not only they put out bold feminist statement, suits not feminised with flat shoes and all. And back dancers dressed in skimpy clothes and high heels/make up / jewellery etc and given front stage and highlighted . Above all aoa wore dark lipsticks and had darker makeup so they completely threw their sexy image out of the window. There is a reason this stage blew up in korea even though the stage has been done before differently by many musicians but not on the way aoa has done. Learn to read between lines and situation.

Y'all claiming that AOA got this from Mamamoo's award performance back in 2016 let me tell you why this is not true. Mamamoo's dancers were a gender fluid crew while AOA's were vogue dancers. The purpuse of their appearance was also different in AOA's performance they try to break the gender standarts and it centers around feminism. While Mamamoo started their performance with "You are the best" and the gender fluid dancers as a way to show support to the Lgbt community. Also Jimin was the one who came up with the idea of vogue dancers because they are her friends and she wanted to include them in a way (especially because it was a Mamamoo's song, their songs/lyrics scream girl power, equality etc.). So my point is, both artists did great with their performances and the DIFFERENT message they wanted to convey. So props to them both!😊❤️

Omg I’m so happy u talked about AOA’s performance. I’ve been requesting this since it came out. Thank you so much for shedding light on AOA’s legendary performance. As a international fan who’s country is very open already I still totally understand the importance and greater meaning this performance had to more conservative countries. As a fan of AOA, definitely no one does sexy like them, they do it so classy and clean. But, just want to say AOA was not originally a sexy concept group and it wasn’t their first choice but in this cutthroat industry they followed what was in demand at the time and surprisingly succeeded in that concept. Therefore their company FNC made them follow whatever concept made them money. These days girl groups are all about badass/girl crush concepts but back in the day it was all about being sexy. Also, I wanna mention that AOA members are also feminist themselves and this isn’t some kind of act. Seolhyun and Yuna specifically have shown support on social media multiple times. Seolhyun has been criticized for showing support many times but won’t let it affect her. Although, I just want to finish my comment by saying being a sexy group shouldn’t take away for them and shouldn’t make them any less of a feminist cause I believe everyone should be able to be what they want to be.

I love what they did and it's great what matters is the message but sigh mamamoo did this before but no one talked about it like now..I

[@baekxinglover3844]

AOA not only gave a powerful statement on feminism but also gave center and front representation to the voguing dancers is a win for feminist community and LGBT community both!!!

Hyuna’s backup dancer went ‘and I oop’ 😂

[@sujini0818]

No offense but AOA’s queendom cover is a homage for everything that is MAMAMOO. Jimin’s bow. The MMA2016 stage of MAMAMOO with the gender fluid dancers. AOA did their research. If it was just a cover and a copy, how can it be legendary? Could have done a bit more research on your part perhaps? :)

true

[@nininoona]

In the western world, what Hyuna did was absolutely tame. So, from my point of view, I didn't see anything wrong with what she did. However, I understand why someone from South Korea would find it inappropriate, considering how (overall) it is more conservative than my particular country. I do not agree, however, that she should have had to clarify or apologize. Shaking/Showing her backside is NOT the same thing as flashing bare body parts. She was well covered and all you really got was a shot of her shorts. Kpop girl groups wear even skimpier outfits and do even more "inappropriate" dance moves (in regards to Korean conservative thinking) that should raise more eyebrows than a few seconds of her little shake. Also, just to clarify one thing you said about AOA's performance. Those dancers were NOT Drag Queens, they were men dressed in drag. There is a huge difference between the two.

[@SirenRising]

Nini L I don’t see the issue with Hyuna when male idols get on stage half naked all the time humping the air. It’s a clear bias.

[@onceyouwheeinyoucantwheeout]

Love you guys and not hating on AOA. I loved their stage but please do more research. Mamamoo did this type of stage before with the suits and drag queens back in MMA 2016. Don’t just go and discredit their performance because that is legendary

[@audreyy3057]

Danny ru ok? That t shirt's scaring me...

[@zoie4000]

Why is that?

[@zoie4000]

@Black To Grace I read some of the words but, I'm not understanding why OP is scared? Did I miss an episode where Danny talks about his shirt? Is he supposed to wear it when he's upset or something...?

[@linaahm7499]

he was always open about his mental health :p

[@ma-ri-ko]

Thank you for everything you do, I’m really glad to hear AOA’s performance is being met with congratulations! Things get scarier for queer folks more often than not, I’ll take all the wins we can get 💖 bless y’all for the context you provide

[@mareiketimm5835]

[@keepscrolling1767]
