Luna is the main vocal of F(x) and Soloist. After debuting under SM as a teenager in 2009, she has been body/ fat - shamed for years to the point she lost weight.

A huge factor in how muscular her thighs became was her height. Being the shortest member she was often forced to wear wedge heels while dancing. Bounce on your tippy-toes for a few minutes and you'll feel every muscle in your legs start to burn. I can't imagine training for hours in that position. We now see 4th gen girls wearing platform shoes to hide the height difference, but wedge heels had idol stylists in a chokehold second gen.

Girl I get it- today I was at my musical theatre and we have to wear heals and it was my first experience of wearing them, never mind DANCING in them- LAWD I can’t feel my ankles at all I did my musical theatre show this weekend, went well! Never willingly dancing in heels again though… I still can’t feel my ankles the same.

@@sabreenasnow119 Krystal was by far the most popular in Asia overall. Sulli was the next most popular in Korea, and Victoria had a huge solo fanbase in China. As OP said, Amber was the token fave of western kpop stans partly because she spoke English, and also in my opinion because a lot of people liked the tomboy thing she had going (particularly a lot of "not like other girls" kinda people) - although this was kind of superficial as there was a big discrepancy in how many claimed to be her fans and her actual solo album sales. If Krystal had gotten an official solo with a physical album, you can bet she'd have sold much better. My personal favourite in f(x) has always been Luna, I bought the Free Somebody album when it came out. I was also at this Korean culture festival in London where f(x) performed, and there were about 15,000 people there. To put that into perspective, more people were there to see f(x) that day than there are people who own that Free Somebody album in the whole world. It's a damn tragedy.

I remember there being a clip of Luna guesting on Strong Heart (pretty sure that was the show this was on) and a few fellow SM Artists showed a picture of her thighs and constantly talked about how huge they were- and I remember Eunhyuk said that he was in the training room with Luna and another trainer once, and how the trainer was putting more weights on the leg press for Luna than they did for him. She really was a punching bag for people to nitpick for no reason, even though she was incredibly healthy and in shape. I've always really loved Luna, and I'm so sad about how she's been treated over the years, by anti-fans and her company. I'm so glad that she's starting to do a little bit better now.

She was never fat or ugly. Ever. Koreans are way too obsessed with long, stick-skinny legs, I really will never understand. There's nothing wrong with being short or having a muscular build. It's really only Korean "fans" that hated on her for her legs; as international fans we always appreciated that she was muscular and healthy instead of stick-skinny, so seeing how she was beaten down for that and forced into eating disorders is so depressing. I'm glad she's happier now and Madonna really is a bop. I always thought she was pretty and of course super talented. Hope she continues to be happy and healthy.

Her case is very unlucky, SM never really promoted her, kicked her immediately out after all the hate she was getting for being "fat" and too skinny and a plastic surgery monster. You should know better how hate affects Idols due to the fact that Rosé is getting hate for her body. You can’t compare them. They have the same voice range. The only thing that is really really different is their voice: while Lunas voice is more deeper, rosés voice is much brighter. They are both great singers and there is a reason why they are and were the main vocalists in their groups. If Luna‘s passion wasn’t music and song writing she wouldn’t have opened her own entertainment. But she did. If Lunas passion wasn’t music and songwriting she wouldn’t have fought for her career and wouldn’t have complained about her music being overshadowed.

Luna's body was used as a punching bag back then but beauty standards have changed a lot. Since moving forward in her new company and getting to focus on herself as an artist, she seems to be healing a bit (mentally & physically).

the unsettling darkness of all the vlogs shown in the last portion of the video of her "happily" talking about the restrictions shes holding on herself. the fact that she keeps outwardly saying "i dont like healthy food" "i wish i can eat chicken/pizza/etc" "i dont want to eat this but i have to" but still doing so even thought people are telling her that her diet should not be a subject in a vlog towards her fans kinda makes me think that she is doing that as a way to show resentment for the "fans" who were bullying her and the hate she got for her body all these years. like her talking about how she hates the healthy food she eats but kinda shows her diet off to everybody as if she were proud of it is kinda like saying "look at what you guys made me do, now i have to sacrifice my happiness and suffer because of all of you" like it just SCREAMS resentment but she probably isnt aware that that might be something she's doing. because she never received an apology from the public that would make up for the amount of suffering she went through, she probably feels like she never got to the finish line with that aspect of her life which society made her believe was just as important as her existence because no matter what shape she was, there was nothing she could do about it. what she looked like and her undesirability during that time probably made her think that no matter what she does or eat so looks like, her "supporters" would never be happy, which are basically the only people she had left besides her personal family and friends since the agencies had dropped her and she's not that much of a public figure anymore. The worst part though is the part that she is not aware of how she sounds when she's making those vlogs, and that's the absolute scariest part. She's so broken and the way that she's talking is not normal and it absolutely made me burst into tears watching her blogs at the end portion of this video. Knowing that somebody has an eating disorder is one thing but seeing it happen in front of your eyes with a mask of happiness and cute sound affects to try to make it pass as something normal is so haunting to me, and I am so sorry for the way society has treated this poor angel. this is one of the most terrible things ive ever seen.

I know it is hard to believe for someone like you but disciple and hard-work are two values that are important, positive, and significant in much of the rest of the world outside the US…that’s not prejudice lol that’s an observation from living here for nearly three decades…and they’re not looked down upon the way they are in the US. “Omgawdddddz she worked 9-5 for 5 days this week likeeee omg that’s like totez abuseee!!”

@epmeats2 жыл бұрын
For reference all Fx albums before red light sold at or over 3 million. Red Light barely sold half a million Their previous album the Pink Tape had several B-sides that also charted in the top 10's alongside Rum Pum Pum Pum, not a single b-side from Red light charted that high or lasted over a week. I think Red Light has aged well, but we came to love it too late T.T

one of the best vocalists in kpop and then all the attention was on her weight :/ she's really amazing, she even dances well. she's an all around performer and i recommend looking into her talent more if you don't know her and just came across this video. check out madonna, free somebody, and her masked singer performances

I can't wait for her to star on Broadway

i truly believe that there are a ton of idols out there which we havent seen with their normal bodies yet because they keep starving themselves. i realized this when jonghyun left us and i watched his last MV. his face looked bloated, but i dont doubt that this was his real face all along. i knew luna from the debut days and i did stop watching kpop for many years. after i came back, i was absolutely shocked how luna suddenly looked. watching this video makes me scared that we will eventually lose another pure soul to the cruel kpop industry... idols need to stop obsessing over numbers, may it be view or your weight. they need tons of therapists and help, but ofc that wont happen because 'fat' idols are not popular and useless for any company

Ive been a fan of fx since the start and it amazes me how harsh korean beauty standards can be because I never once thought of her as ugly. Not when she was boyish, or had her muscle, or when she was tanner, or when she lost weight, or when she had surgery (we will never truly know that though). I always thought of her as beautiful no matter what she did I always was amazed with her, its such a shame she has been bullied time and time again :(

I can’t stop remember of a video : Luna and Hyosung (Secret) covering « Only girl » by Rihanna (kzfaq.info/get/bejne/kL6pqbqmldPImIU.html). When it was released, so many people called them not only fat and ugly, but also declared they didn’t deserve to live. I remember I cried for an hour, because they were for me the proof that you didn’t have to be skinny to be talented, and as a young girl, I was in shock that celebrities could be hated so much because of their body.

The bullying these poor women and girls endure is sadistic. Her “chubbier” self looked so cute and also strong but still very feminine. I’d be considered super fat in Korea and here I’m a mid range BMI.

You should do a video about Jessica Jung! While in SNSD, she would repeat the typical lines about how they didn't diet but instead just danced hard etc., but since 2014 she has been quite open and honest about her eating habits and I think her approach is quite healthy (perhaps this is why her weight hasn't fluctuated hugely over the years). Her book "Shine" also does not sugarcoat the pressures female trainees face and the daily weigh-ins they have to undergo.

9:46 "don't forget you got surgery on your legs to remove the muscle" 🤦♀️ Some people are so dumb. Muscle reduction surgery is incredibly expensive, incredibly evasive, and takes a *long* time to recover from, especially from the legs. I know because I had seriously considered looking into it for my own legs. Ultimately came to the conclusion I'd rather just try to naturally atrophy the muscle (aka avoid exercises and heavy weights that target build leg muscle) than to go through the procedure which logistically can't get all the muscle you'd want removed anyways.

I think Loona suffers from the same thing that prevented Bada from being more popular : she's too eager and has a musical theater personality that she doesn't shut off. This is 't my opinion of her but she isn't cool, she tries too hard and in the idol industry even though the majority tries really hard you still can't show it, it's not a meritocracy and coolness, not trying hard (idols that are deemed lazy are praised for god's sake) is attractive. Luna was at the turning point of K-pop when it went from kids that went through the training process and could expect an honest career out of it, to full nepotism / beautiful kids / visual centric concepts. Unfortunately not enough people care about her life or want to emulate what she represents for sponsors to flock to her. To be honest too, even though the first concepts of FX did nothing for her figure, later on she had fire looks and very good clothes chosen for her. I think she suffers from a sort of artistic rebound where because of how SM mistreated her and FX she thinks her artistic vision is therefore better. I'd say not necessarily, she had not so great visuals for the comebacks she had outside of SM and budget has nothing to do with it. If I was her manager I'd tell her to become some form of mentor to young singers, explore musical theater furthermore (she has the personality for it) and take some time to build some musical taste for her solo endeavors. Being a good/great singer doesn't mean you're good at picking songs, tracks it artistic concepts. I wish her the best.
@Yo997532 ай бұрын
You're right. SM didn't promote her solo properly, and you're right about the artistic rebound as well.Luna could have been a mentor in one of the shows during fx hiatus. Luna did try hard, but her sp wasn't strong. She was overshadowed by Krystal.IMO, I feel that she could have been like Hwasa. She would set some standards.

In all honesty I think Luna should give up on being a celebrity and just lead a normal life for her health and well being. I think she's extremely talented but because she doesn't meet the Korean beauty standards (KBS) she's having a hard time hitting it big despite her vocal talent. Watching this video made me feel really sad because it is clear that being a celeb has made her have a very toxic mindset regarding her looks and body. When she was "chubby" by Korean standards she got bullied. When she lost weight she got bullied by the same people who said she was too big. When she lost the muscle in her legs people say her legs are too thin but when she gained it back they said her legs are too muscular. She is trying really hard to please the public but nothing she does is ever enough for her. She should just take a step back and focus on her health and well being. If she really wants to continue to be a celebrity then she will need to accept that she can't please everyone and just focus on being healthy and showcase her talent like Hwasa for eg who doesn't meet KBS but owns it anyways

She is currently set to star in a musical on Broadway, so living and working in the US for some time away from Korea and those beauty standards might be helpful for her. Music and performance has been super important to her for her whole life, I don't think giving up her biggest passion would be particularly mentally healthy for her either tbh.
@josief15382 жыл бұрын
@@ActuallyAnanya That's really good news that she's working outside of Korea. Hopefully she will gain even more popularity and move away from her dieting habits. I understand what you mean by music and performance being her passion but when that passion starts to harm you it's always a good thing to take a step back even if it's for a short while. I was trying to say she should take a step back from being a celeb and focus on leading a normal lifestyle so she can focus on herself outside the pressures of being a celebrity because ATM being a celebrity seems to be affecting her mental health etc. That's why I said in my initial comment that if she really wants to continue to be a celebrity she will need to accept that she can't please everyone but she will need time to recover from the trauma she's been facing in the public eye since debut. It's not an easy thing to do but if I were her friend I would advise her to take care of herself first before going back into the industry if she really wanted to go back

I was always in denial and trying to tell myself that Luna is FINE and that she's HAPPY even when I saw how it was detrimental to her health. I wanted to believe it, I honestly just want her to be happy. I wanted her music to blow up and give her the success she deserves. But all the time, the only attention she'll get is hate. Its always about her body, her face, her make-up, literally everything about her that doesn't fit society's beauty standard. Then if she does release music, it never gets any attention. I hope it only gets better from now on. I love every music she has released, including the most recent one, Madonna! For anyone else who might be struggling, I hope you guys will get through it too.
