Despite new regulations that prohibit female groups from wearing revealing clothing like short shorts and belly shirts it seems none of these rules have been applied to SNSD’s “Hoot” performances

While groups like Rainbow have been told not to wear short shorts forcing them to wear long pants for their performances, Girls’ Generation has yet to receive a warning for their outfits which have included short shorts and on some occasions belly shirts.

And the reason? Officials say that the outfits didn’t “feel” sexual.

Music Core’s Kim Yoogon PD explained, “The song and the dance have a big impact on how sexual the stage feels. Groups such as Nine Muses and Rainbow put more emphasis on the dance and the visuals of the stage itself more than the song, and so they have more revealing outfits and their dance is more sexual. However, Girls’ Generations’ Hoot does not have a sexual feel at all.
