There is controversy surrounding MAMAMOO member Hwasa's "19+ performance" at a university festival.

On May 12th, Kim Wan Sun, Um Jung Hwa, Lee Hyori, BoA, and Hwasa, who appeared on the tvN variety show 'Dance Singer Wanderers,' performed on the stage of Sungkyunkwan University's Humanities Campus Festival.

On that day, Hwasa performed a Mamamoo medley stage with songs like "Decalcomanie," "You're the Best," and "Starry Night," and also performed "Don't Give It to Me" with rapper Loco.

During this performance, Hwasa came forward to the front of the stage and presented a provocative performance, licking one hand and touching it to certain parts of her body.

Although it was a brief moment, this somewhat suggestive gesture has sparked controversy on various online communities.

Netizens have criticized it, saying, "It was too much," "Why include choreography that wasn't necessary?" and "She crossed the line."

In particular, some pointed out that the show 'Dance Singer Wanderers' is rated for audiences aged 15 and above, raising doubts about the appropriateness of this performance.

On the other hand, there have been reactions such as, "It's okay since it's a university festival attended by adults," "As long as it's edited for broadcast, it's fine," and "The atmosphere at the scene seemed good."

Former S.E.S member Shoo (Yoo Soo Young) warmed hearts as she shared a touching moment with her twin daughters—taking them to the same wholesale market where she once worked during a difficult time in her life.

On May 8, Shoo posted several photos on Instagram showing her spending time with her twin daughters, Ra Hee and Ra Yul, at the Dongdaemun wholesale market. In the caption, she wrote, “Did everyone enjoy the holiday? I feel like I made a memory I’ll never forget for the rest of my life.”

The photos showed Shoo and her daughters smiling brightly while eating and shopping together. Her daughters, now visibly grown up, were even seen wearing similar shoes and clothes as their mom.

Shoo opened up about a painful chapter in her past. “When I was struggling, I once sold clothes I got from Dongdaemun with the help of a friend,” she shared. “I used to go there from night to early morning, picking up fleece clothes, hairpins, and shoes, thinking, ‘My kids would love this if I brought them here.’”

Now that her daughters are older, Shoo finally fulfilled that dream. “We laughed so much while shopping. We bought hairpins, socks, and clothes together,” she said. “They’ve grown so much—they can even wear the same things as me.”

Reflecting on the experience, she added, “Memories of my past flashed before my eyes. I told them how I used to work late at night, carrying heavy bags and walking around for 10 hours straight.”

Shoo emotionally concluded, “I was so happy to show my kids the nighttime world I once worked in.”

Fans who remember Shoo’s twins from The Return of Superman were touched to see how much they’ve grown. Shoo, now a proud mom of three, continues to update fans through her TV appearances and social media, showing her strength as both a mother and former idol.
