Was there a point to Hyuna's underwear scene in her 'Lip & Hip' MV?

Article: "Even taking off her underwear" Hyuna's provocative ↑ music video... is there meaning behind her skin exposure?

1. [+672, -42] She doesn't just look cheap anymore, she looks straight up dirty

2. [+644, -28] So hypocritical because she was telling her younger juniors that they need to be sexy without the need to show skin...

3. [+552, -33] This is going too far~~~~~ is she that desperate to get in the headlines~~???

4. [+42, -0] I'm really curious though, what is the meaning behind her taking off her underwear??? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

5. [+40, -0] I feel like she can pull off sexy concepts perfectly fine without going over the top like this... but she just gets worse and worse;;; it embarrasses me to think that kids and teens are watching this

6. [+40, -0] She's getting worse as she gets older

7. [+35, -0] Well she's running out of things to do now ㅠㅠ

8. [+29, -0] I used to like her but she makes me more and more uncomfortable...

9. [+23, -0] I always find it pathetic when people defend Hyuna's MVs by saying "Koreans would faint if they ever saw foreign MVs if they think this is bad ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ" but why are you talking about foreign MVs when we're Koreans judging a Korean MV... Her MV crosses the line by our societal standards, you can't compare our judgment to the standards of western society

10. [+22, -0] I'm normally the type to laugh off any controversies female idols get into over being too sexually provocative but this one really got to me. Is she a porn star now?

11. [+18, -0] Didn't Hyuna say she wasn't going to show skin meaninglessly anymore? Then what meaning does this have? Does it represent freeing herself from the restrictions that chained her down?

12. [+15, -0] I wonder if she ever feels bad about the reality of what she has to do for a living... or does she really go home at night and think to herself, "Ah I worked hard today ^^"... she's pathetic if she actually thinks that

13. [+11, -1] She's obviously trying to use her sex appeal to lure in a male audience but men would prefer to keep their idols cute like Twice and go watch actual porn if they need to jack off. Hyuna's just an in-between that doesn't really do anything for them.
