Popular Female Idol Goes Viral For Showing Consideration To Muslim Customs

A small but thoughtful detail.

NMIXX member Haewon is receiving praise from fans after netizens noticed a thoughtful styling choice during the group’s recent performance in Malaysia.

Photos and fancams from the event began circulating online after fans pointed out that Haewon appeared to be wearing an additional nude-colored inner layer underneath her stage outfit. Many fans speculated that the extra layer was intentionally added out of respect for local cultural sensitivities in Malaysia, especially amongst Muslims where more modest dress standards are often observed at public events.

The detail quickly gained attention online, with netizens commending the idol for being considerate of the local audience while still maintaining the overall look of the performance outfit.
