Despite her girl-next-door image, Solar is vocal about wanting to look sexy on stage and thinks every woman has the right to choose how they want to dress or portray themselves.

She’s also not afraid to show her passion for pole dancing, which can sometimes be viewed in a negative light by conservative Korean standards.

She shows fans that the sport is an artistic and beautiful performance that takes time and effort to perfect.

I pole danced first at our concert. I didn’t want to disappoint our fans, so I practiced really hard.

Similarly, Solar isn’t afraid to be sexy if she wants to in her dance covers.

Her outfit choices may be considered daring by some, but to Solar, she’s just putting on a cool performance!

Many male idols rip open their clothing while performing. It made me wonder ‘Why don’t female idols do that?’ I want to do that too.
