[Asia Economy Reporter Hwang Sumi] A controversy has arisen after a woman visiting a supermarket in the UK was kicked out for wearing "too revealing clothes."

On the 11th (local time), according to the UK Daily Mail, Zaia (22), who visited a supermarket in East London, was reprimanded by a store employee for her attire and was asked to leave.

At the time, Zaia was wearing a short top and sweatpants. The store employee said, "Your body is almost fully visible," and ordered Zaia to leave.

Zaia posted a video of the incident on her Twitter, criticizing, "The employees did not respect me. It was disgusting behavior."

As the controversy spread, the supermarket apologized via its official Twitter account, saying, "We are truly sorry for the service you received." They also explained, "The employee's behavior is unrelated to the head office policy," and "This is not a policy we endorse."

They added, "We have spoken with the store manager regarding this incident and would like to discuss with you how to resolve this issue."

Meanwhile, in July, an Argentine media outlet banned certain outfits for anchors and reporters.

Last July, Argentina's 24-hour news channel 'Channel 26' advised female anchors to wear outfits in black, gray, or navy colors whenever possible.

Argentina's 24-hour news channel 'Channel26' advised female anchors to wear black, gray, or navy-colored clothing whenever possible.

They also recommended female anchors wear modest dresses, wide straight pants, and tops with sleeves that are not deeply cut. Wearing T-shirts with pictures or ripped jeans was basically prohibited.

Previously, this news channel faced controversy over sexualization when female anchors wore revealing clothes on camera.

An official stated, "We had not interfered with reporters' and anchors' clothing before, but as criticism about inappropriate attire arose occasionally, we established guidelines," adding, "We could not ignore the image of a professional news channel."

They further added, "The consensus within the broadcasting station was that the attire should be elegant to match the role of the news anchor."
