[News] Fans upset over close-ups of Kara’s butts

Here is currently a hot issue brewing amongst netizens and fans of Kara, because of a Japanese broadcast.
On the August 6th episode of channel Asahi’s morning show, called Super Morning, they interviewed the girls of Kara who are currently making their entry into the Japanese market.

What the Kara fans were interested in though, was not the interview itself but the way they shot the show.  When the girls were showcasing their butt dance during the interview, camera zoomed in and slow motion effects of the girls’ butts were included.
Furthermore, there was a part during their interview when the camera was focused on the girls’ body, without their heads.
Fans stated opinions such as, “I know Korea and Japan have a different atmosphere in the way they broadcast, but it’s sad to see them focusing on foreign female artist members’ bodies with their camera,” “It’s a broadcast that’s hard to see in Korea. Japanese broadcasts have no manners” and “After the broadcast, I was worried that the Japanese people who saw the girls will be known as a sexy girl group rather than a group known for their skills.”
Some netizens on the other hand, had different opinions such as, “When this is done in Korea, it’s ok but when it’s done in Japan, it’s wrong?“ and “There wasn’t anything wrong about this.”

Okay i've been at the kara fansites.. and they said the reporter was making this a bigger issue that it is. I think fans were upset about the part where it just skimmed across their chests XD I felt uncomfortable.. of course we fans know that showing the butt is part of the butt dance lol.. Way to blow things out of proportion. I think fans aren't used to the way KARA's being shown as that sexual.. it's something different. KARA's has touch on being sexy but they aren't known for that, so the image that news was trying portray them as was not acceptable I guess to some fans.
