Ailee opened up about her struggles with her weight and the misunderstandings she recieved because of it on MBC Every 1’s “Video Star.”

On the May 14 episode, the soloist explained her past living patterns that led her to put on weight. She described how she would be whisked off to her schedules as soon as she woke up and would always arrive back home late at night. She would then eat excessively for her first and only meal of the day.

She recounted being shocked and hurt by something a male senior told her. She commented, “He said, ‘What are you going to do? Are you trying to retire early?’ I thought all I needed to do was perform well. I’m a singer, but I thought, ‘Do I need to focus on my body more than my singing?'”

She added, “When I gained weight, people say I gained so much, and now people say I’m too thin. They tell me to do it in moderation, but I don’t know what their standard is. It’s so difficult.”

Ailee then talked about the period in which she had slimmed down to 49 kilograms for her comeback. She said, “At that time, I got depressed. It was so hard for me. Being the best at singing is my goal, but as I focused on my weight, I developed problems with my voice. I was diagnosed with vocal nodules, and treating it was difficult. I’m not a model, but I had to maintain my figure like a model.”

She further revealed a story behind a photo that made people think she quickly gained weight despite already losing it. She said, “During my showcase, my photo was taken and people were commenting, ‘What the heck, did she already gain weight within a few days?’ It turns out that someone had taken another photo and severely edited it to make it look like I was 38 kilograms. I felt so wronged. I worked hard to lose weight for my comeback [but people misunderstood].”

“Video Star” showed the edited photo (first photo below) and a picture of Ailee at her showcase (second photo). The hosts remarked on how she looked great in reality at her showcase too.

She also cleared up her statement on “Hidden Singer” last year. “There was a misunderstanding about when I tearfully said on ‘Hidden Singer’ that I wouldn’t focus on my weight,” she said. “I meant that I would love my appearance as it is, not that I would completely stop dieting.”

Ailee then discussed her path to healthy dieting, saying, “I’m not on a diet right now, but I’ve fixed my habit of eating excessively for one meal and am now eating three or four small meals. I found that I lost weight naturally through these healthy habits.”

Seriously wtf? That editing story is just disgusting and the fact that Ailée has to apologize for saying that she wouldn’t be starving herself?
Some people will be getting the pikagun treatment soon,,,

Yeah, she’s a wonderful singer, and a sweet person, and that’s what people should notice about her, not her apparent weight issues (I don’t even see the issue though?)

 

[blueberries]

There was nothing wrong with her weight in first place, not like she was being overweight or sth, she always looked good. The excessive dieting in kpop makes no sense, it doesn't even look better in pictures and it's bad for health too. Just eat healthily and exercise. Then u have most energy to perform.

People are ready to tear a person down no matter their size, whether they’re ‘too fat’ or ‘too thin’. I wish idols would learn to block weight comments out sooner and just be happy with what feels right for them.

All anyone should focus on is being a healthy weight and as much as people may want to put a number or figure to that, the truth is you can't because 1 person might have a body type that allows them to be healthy with less weight than the average person would and works the same the other way.

The stuff with her weight is none of their business.

She is a singer and they should just focus on that

Knetz never appreciated Ailee for her talents and only focused on weight shaming her. Gotta love the twisted public.

 

[Foxia]

I am disgusted by the fact that these people think they have the right to say something about their weight. Ailee is beautiful, I've always liked her body and her voice. And her body shouldn't even matter, because it's her voice that counts!

I just hope that more artists/idols will love themselves and their body, eventually.. This just makes me sad :(

Why do people care so much about someone’s weight? Her talent is a lot more important than that. They act like she’s morbidly obese or something.

 

[planetarium]

This is so disgusting. It'd be a whole different thing if they were even WORRIED for her health, but all everyone does is just straight up condemn her for nothing. And it's not even like she's extremely obese or anything, these "beauty standards" are so full of shit.

 

[Evergreen]

I am so sad for her. I think that’s why she is taking a hiatus.

I met the same struggle than her and people are just so obsessed with others’ weight. It’s just so wrong.
