'I Live Alone' team responds to controversy regarding Hwasa's Clothing

Hwasa faced backlash over her outfit as some netizens accused her of mocking the traditional Nigerian clothing. On July 25th, 'I Live Alone' released an official statement under its YouTube video that

"We want to clarify that this outfit originated from a Korean 'sauna' look that Hwa Sa often wore on our program. We had no intention of

comically presenting a traditional outfit of a particular country.

We realized that some of you have falsely identified Hwasa's outfit as a reflection of the Nigerian traditional outfit. Furthermore, due to the 'comic' genre of our show, some of you have shown concerns suggesting a comical reflection of traditional outfits and the possibility of it leading to racism. However, we want to assure you that we had no intention of relating her outfit to a specific culture.

We hope this provides an explanation for your concerns."
