I don’t normally like commenting on things like this but it’s concerning so here’s my rant:
Honestly the amount of ppl trying to deny how the k-pop industry has become so weirdly obsessed with weight are so ignorant, it’s ridiculous. I know this has been a problem since the beginning of times, but it’s becoming increasingly apparent and common now in the big 2026. EDs are real and they are a real problem, these idols ARE struggling, ever since I saw that that one video of NewJeans eating nothing but 3-4 vegetables, to Danielle’s concerning weight loss in Complexcon compared to her pre-debut days and even during Supernatural/How Sweet era, and now seeing Ningning saying that bs about 55kg it’s so apparent how normalized it’s becoming. I used to have an ED and that shit was HARD. I was so in denial and obsessed with my Weight that I completely ignored how unnatural and unhealthy I looked. The people I’ve seen calling this out are not body shaming anyone but instead calling out how concerning it is, ESPECIALLY FOR WOMEN! These companies need to stop promoting EDs and instead look out for the well being of their idols, who are quite literally in danger because of this, especially if they are going to continue debuting minors who are still in development, again ESPECIALLY THE TEEN GIRLS!! Everyone gets their period at separate times and honestly if you’re not eating enough or at least getting the right nutrients, this could cause so many dangers to your body, especially if you still haven’t gotten your period or are in the starting stages. It also just triggers me to see some of these videos of women, not even women but TEENAGERS continue working when their body looks like they will collapse any minute. This is also why I hate the whole, “idols nowadays can’t sing/dance” because people JUST don’t understand how EDs quite literally affect EVERYTHING, you LOSE ENERGY TO EVEN SPEAK! I was here during the IU diet, I was here when Wonyoungism became a thing, I was here during Sakura paper test, I watched as both Liz(IVE) and Jiwoo(NMIXX) and even Hwasa(MAMAMOO) the idols that was considered over weight for so long, lost their perfectly normal weight, so when I saw Sakura CRYING because she didn’t want her members(Le Sserafim) to be concerned about diets and weight, it was a reality check for me. And I know I’m blaming the companies, but I’m also blaming K-pop stans for letting this happen for so long, yes these companies are to blame but kpop stans aren’t no different either, by hating on these idols for their weight and looks, y’all are also feeding into these EDs and the companies who are the biggest cause of this. The recent thing wirh Yeon (H2H) who is what 14/15 yrs old? And all I see is kpop stans hating on her for her WEIGHT when she is a CHILD, it’s ridiculous. I’m so tired of seeing people say “everyone hold weight differently” and “fast metabolism is a thing”, both statements may be true but it’s concerning and weird how apparently everyone in the kpop industry holds weight the same and has fast metabolism.
