Singer Lee Hyo-lee is again at the center of controversy. Critics charge that the music video for the track "U-GO-Girl" from her third album plagiarizes Christina Aguilera's video for "Candyman." And some say the nurse that Lee portrays in the video is too provocative, with Netizens taking issue with the nurse costume's plunging neckline.
One netizen has opened a link on a portal demanding the music video be edited and has begun a signature drive. "Nurses study and work very hard but they're exposed to sexual innuendo and harassment at work," another Netizen wrote. "They are belittled in society because they're portrayed in this kind of image." Another said, "I'm joining the signature drive and regret that my heart thumped at the sight of a nurse uniform. My bad."
And yet the controversy has succeeded in generating more buzz for the video, which has become popular on YouTube and other sites. It's not the first time a distorted image of nurses has generated debate. Park Mi-kyung played a racy scene in a nurse outfit in her 2004 music video for "Hot Stuff", drawing protests from the Korean Nurses Association.

OMG. It's just a video and has nothing to do with reality. |

I haven't watched it yet so I don't know if it includes the nurse outfit in question, but this might be it: http://kr.youtube.com/watch?v=MEeXxESY2_0 |

I dunno if this is about nurses at all.....
I suspect this is the same mental moral minority who attacked that 30-something year old woman a while back for doing a 'shek-si' video.
In Korea, you can be as sexy as you like if you're under 30. Over 30............some screwed up guys with oedipus complex ( I wonder how many Korean men have an oedipus complex ) will protest.
In saying that, it probably is just the nurses trying to get some respect. They don't get any here. |

You're talking about Uhm Jung-hwa. Both her and Kim Hye-soo are always getting a bum rap in the media for their choice in fashion. OMG! They are almost 40! The horror!
So.... isn't Hyori approaching the magical three-oh soon, when the real protests against her can start in earnest? |
