You might see some kpop female idols showing their cleavages on stage or red carpet. They attract public gaze by wearing sexy low-cut costumes and dresses.

"Have you ever seen a rookie female idol showing her cleavage in public? Of course, some of rookie kpop girl groups do that, but it's not the general case. Most of kpop idols debut at teen age, while immodest costumes are limited to them on various music chart shows. Generally, female idols begin to show their cleavages years after debut. It is a kind of survival strategy. They can't be teen age girls for ever. They need to show off mature charm not to fall behind in the competition with young and fresh girl groups. So, if a female idol started to show her cleavage, you can say she wants to show something new to the public.(Some of idol stars have their breast...
