This isn't the first time MAMAMOO created controversy with sexual assault themes in their MVs.  Back when they released "Um Oh Ah Yeh," a few voiced disapproval at some moments, like when Solar tries to kiss an unconscious Moon Byul in the hospital and when Hwa Sa tries to force herself onto Solar in the plane scene.


However, this time, the group seems to have gone too far in "Décalcomanie" with an elevator scene in which the man forces a kiss on Solar who resists it at first then succumbs to it.  He holds back her hands, ignoring her resistance.  Fans voiced their anger at the inappropriateness of this scene which seems to be romanticizing sexual assault, so MAMAMOO took down the MV and replaced it with the problematic scene removed.

Also, during the press conference on this day, Solar talked about the kiss scene with, "I tried a kiss scene in the MV this time.  I didn't actually do it, but pretended.  I was so embarrassed and abashed at it, I was going crazy.  I wanted to hide."  


Regarding her 'husband' Eric Nam's response, she said, "I have to do it because it's my work, isn't it?  I think he'd be able to understand once he sees my bank book."


You can see the problematic clip below.  What did you make of it?
