1. [+488, -37] Whether the outfits were being judged is not the issue... we're just wondering why the hanboks were designed that way at all. This didn't look like a Miss Korea competition but a Victoria's Secret lingerie show... ㅡㅡ

2. [+432, -45] It was basically a gisaeng competition...

3. [+375, -29] As if whether the outfits were judged or not is important at all right now ㅋㅋㅋ I guess it goes to show that the people who don't even understand why it's controversial would come up with something like that;; sigh, why would you make the hanbok look so dirty in a competition meant to pick Korea's best beauty?

4. [+30, -5] They should just change the entire thing to a bikini competition. Show off all the bodies that you want. Isn't that what the competition is for anyway?

5. [+27, -3] This just isn't something that you do with a hanbok

6. [+19, -0] Whether it was last year's Miss Korea or this year's, wearing the hanbok in such a manner is degrading to the quality of the dress

7. [+17, -2] A competition for picking room salon girls~ ㅋ

8. [+16, -3] Please just bring back the swimsuit category instead

9. [+11, -1] I just don't get how you can dress someone in a hanbok like that... tsk tsk... they looked like prostitutes~

10. [+10, -0] The b*tch who designed it, the b*tches who wore it, they're all the same...
