Video How skinny kpop idols look in real life (1 Viewer)

Something needs to be done about this; it isn't healthy for them, especially with the busy and demanding lives that they live

I might get rocks thrown at me but the weight of idols is none of our business, skinny or fat. I get people get worried but we aren't close to them. We're just fans, it's not our place to comment on their bodies and say what's healthy and what isn't.

I get it; I'm not body shaming anyone just thought that ppl should know what the kpop industry is doing to their idols

Krystal, Yoona and many of those idols are naturally thin tho, so it's hard for us to tell
I understand your worry ofc, I know maaany idols need to lose weight because of the pressure and it's very sad :( Like Momo only drinking water for almost a week to be able to debut
But people always point Yoona for example and I guess it's upsetting for her, she already said she can't get more weight, she is thin

Ikr, many ppl body shame them for being naturally thin (like IU) which I think is totally not fair; but in other cases where the company forces them to lose weight to fit into the criteria, I think that's unfair too

Tbh I’m anorexic so I know what it’s like to be super skinny and underweight but no matter how much you eat, you can’t gain anything. With me, I could eat a buffet and I’d not gain any weight at all. I can understand most of these idols weight problems, cause I have it too, but there’s no need to go into panic mode. Of course we can be worried, but let them try deal with it themselves. They’re most likely seeing a doctor about how to gain weight the HEALTHY way. Like, my New Years resolution is to gain weight the healthy way, and I’m sure they’re trying to gain weight.

I get that it’s hard for them to gain weight, dieting and all that. But some skinny people don’t actually get that hungry - sounds crazy I know - but it’s true. Like I don’t get that hungry during the day, so I tend to get full easy and not eat what I should.

but I’ve been underweight since I was about 2 so- it depends… if the idols have always been underweight, then it’s just usual for em. Some of em tho might not have been underweight since birth so- maybe it’s their choice? ORRRRR they have problems with trying to gain weight again after losing it.

idk it’s just I get what what you’re getting at, but I also get the idols view point too. It’s fine to be worried, just don’t go panicking too much.

I'm not panicking and I really don't want anyone to, just wanted to raise awareness to it
I didn't know you could relate that way I'm so sorry; if you want I can have this thread deleted so as not to offend anyone any further
I do applaud you for being confident enough to share tho

no no don’t delete it
I’m fine with it
and tbh… i think I’m too fat, and that’s probably the way some of these super skinny idols think too. It’s not that I’m ashamed, it’s just I’m worried for my health that’s all. Skinny people’s hearts can get abused also, as much as any overweight persona. So I’m as worried as you about Kpop idols health. Skinny people can get exactly the same heart problems as overweight people. (Don’t take offence please! I’m just trying to say, that I’m worried about em too. They’re hurting the heart so…)

It's fine no offense taken
Tbh I was overweight when I was like in the 3-5 grades and got tired of the bullying and lost over 50 pounds in the course of 2 years and now I'm happy with the way I look (sorta lol)
I think you're perfect just the way you are even tho I have never seen you (sorry if that sounds creepy lol)
I think that's the problem too with kpop idols, they're constantly thinking that they're being criticized for their weight altho us fans just want the best for them

IU is not naturally fucking thin she is bulimic and her “IU diet” is probably the most famous kpop diet out there.

 

[Jimimis]

Wonyoung is extremely skinny and it’s always very apparent. she sticks out a lot in ive even, due to being so skinny. I don’t know why anyone would think she is at a normal bmi in any photo of her that exists

Kpop fans always are going on about how horrible the body standards of kpop is but they perpetuate it. In between their posts going all :( for idols they’re tweeting zoomed in photos of Jimin’s waist. You can’t have both.

i have an ed myself , I know that the bodies of idols affect people’s self image. but all this type of talk is just empty virtue signaling. 99% of fans complain about the kpop diets but 99% will never stan anyone who does not have a conventionally attractive skinny body .

I get called thin irl but I often check out if I'm at a normal bmi and eat a lot for my size, but when I look at these kpop idols I'd look chubby next to them..wow, with their busy schedules I really hope it's just that most are naturally thin despite eating well, instead of other reasons.

Sorry I read that somewhere on another kpop site; I believed it, sorry I should've done more research

there is an extremely weird dichotomy that kpop fans have. they all know the kpop industry gives idols eating disorders but it’s never THEIR idol, their idol is pure and naturally skinny. like it’s dirty and shameful to have a disorder. how do they expect anything to improve if they refuse to acknowledge anything??? (And this is the same circus you see with plastic surgery, I’m so damn tired of it)

No one had any way of knowing if an idol is naturally thin or not. They probably aren’t. The concept of being naturally thin that most people who don’t know enough about weight loss go around spouting is so stupid and doesn’t exist.

pick any idol that exists. they’re on a diet and probably have disordered eating at the very least

I totally agree

 

[eclipsoul]

not our place to comment on their bodies and say what's healthy and what isn't.

i don't agree with commenting on others' bodies but the main reason why this happens is because many idols open up about their diets if i can still even call them diets. if idol X publicly says she hasn't eaten anything for a week it's obvious that there will be a conversation regarding her health.

 

[eclipsoul]

for most cases in the video there was a significant time difference between the photo and the fancam but still none of this surprises me since kpop diets in general are just glorified eating disorders

I guess that's fair but it's still too risky imo. Telling someone is too skinny or to eat more can be as damaging as calling someone fat. A sensitive subject.
