South Korean dancer and model Bomi recently made global headlines after becoming the first K-pop idol to join OnlyFans.

On Tuesday, the Girl Crush singer opened a new account and demanded that Instagram restore her old one.

“This is an account that communicates with fans! Please restore my account.”
She then shared instructions on how her fans can help her get her old account back by posting on Instagram.

“I opened my OnlyFans,” she announced on Twitter last week. “You can subscribe for $15. Sexy photos and fancams will be uploaded!”

Pornography is still largely illegal in South Korea, but there are a few loopholes on social media that let some illegal content through.
Distribution of pornography is a criminal offence; however, there are no laws penalizing people for viewing, downloading or possessing pornography.
Pornography is also blocked by the government on almost all websites and search engines, making it difficult to access in the first place.
Although Bomi made history as the first Korean pop star to join OnlyFans, she is not a traditional mainstream idol.
Obscenity: Bomi’s live performances often go viral on social media, where they rack up thousands of views.
Her four-member girl group, Girl Crush, is a dance troupe that regularly performs at music festivals and other events throughout Korea.
After becoming popular on the internet with their lewd performances, they entered the music industry in 2019 with their first single, Memories.
The song failed to chart, but many of Girl Crush’s performances and dance covers continue to circulate on YouTube, racking up millions of views.
