A video of HyunA giving some very unexpected fan service at a festival at the Korea Aerospace University made its way around the Internet on 19 Sept.

Though it seems the singer wanted to have some fun, there’s been a bit of controversy about her unexpected exposure.

She wrote, “The festival I went to yesterday was at a university, and right by was a simple bar with alcoholic drinks. It was a party where everyone could have fun partying. Please ease your heart, and don’t worry.”
