Recently, Lee Soo Man’s new girl group A2O LITE has gone viral online for their inappropriate outfits.
A2O LITE 13-Year-Old Member’s “Disgusting” Short Outfit Triggers Outrage
They have sparked major backlash because most of the members are minors, with some of the youngest members being only 13 years old.

Despite being minors, many were furious at their outfits, especially compared to boy group, A2O SOUL, which debuted on the same day.
아니 왜 계속 애들 옷을 저렇게 입히는거임? 에이투오엔터는 에투라가 전원 미성년자인건 생각을 안하는건가? 당장 옆에 에투소만봐도 옷 엄청 길고 노출 하나도 없는데 에투라는 13년생들도 교복 크롭해서입히고 치마길이도 엄청짧은거 안보임…? 애들 옷 좀 제대로입혀 제발 그룹에 셋이 13년생이야 pic.twitter.com/e07x5htZ5d

Why do they keep dressing them in clothes like that? Are they not aware that the entire group is made up of minors? Look at A2O SOUL standing next to them, wearing long clothes with no skin showing. Why is A2O LITE wearing cropped shirts and short skirts when there are members born in 2013? Please dress them appropriately; three of the members were born in 2013…
However, others praised their outfits, which were used to make interesting lines and formations.
에투라 neon 시작부분에 센터중심으로

Did you guys know that the start of ‘neon’ focuses on the center, with the outfits being different on either side? But it ends with it being balanced? Lee Soo Man is crazy.
Netizens were also divided in their reactions to the group’s outfits.
- “It just looks like normal female idol outfits…but I do agree they didn’t really need to do the uniform concept.”
- “It looks fine to me…”
- “I don’t see a problem.”
- “Stop stripping these young kids…”
- “There is a problem with the album cover, but otherwise it’s fine.”
- “Cover their stomachs, please! They are fine even without putting them in those kinds of outfits.”
