BLACKPINK’s “Lovesick Girls” music video came under fire over Jennie’s nurse outfit. The opinion is that such sexually objectifying outfit and appearance, which is far from what nurses wear in real life, are insulting to the nurses. In the video, Jennie appears in a 90s’ nurse hat, short skirt that shows most of her thighs, and high heels. Netizens who claimed to be nurses are saying that they are “sick of seeing nurses being sexually objectified.” With Twitter at the center, netizens are campaigning by tweeting hashtags like “#Nurses_Are_Not_Costumes” or “#Stop_Sexualizing_Nurse.”

Na Hoon A, nicknamed “the emperor of K-music,” swept the Chuseok holiday with his overwhelming presence. All special programs that every network prepared were overshadowed by the sensation created by Na Hoon A. The singer showed up in KBS’s 2020 Chuseok special South Korea Again Na Hoon A for the first time in 15 years and performed an untact solo concert. The concert aired on Sept. 30 and recorded a jaw-dropping viewership of 29% (based on Nielsen Korea). Except that some entertainment programs such as Mr. Trot, which started the “trot syndrome” in Korea and recorded 30% viewership, this figure is the highest among all TV programs (non-drama) aired this year. Thanks to the unrivaled support he received, the special episode that broadcast on Oct. 3 also garnered 18.7% ratings, proving people’s high interest in Na Hoon A.
