Khadijah M Also, their weights and heights that are listed online are faked, and it's a damn shame that they put up these fake numbers and give people unrealistic standards...

Eat Your Kimchi I know right! I actually didn't realize that until very recently... and I'm sure lots of people don't know that :( makes me feel very sad knowing thousands of girls are going to hate their bodies because of it

***** wth? ur comment was so unneccessary

Khadijah M Actually some idols have eating disorders themselves so maybe kpop idols aren't best for people to look up to, depending on person though. People are so individual too, some can be skinny without dieting and some are bigger. Different body types should be celebrated.

***** did u like not read wht she wrote or wht?she said she overcame tht,stop being a little bitch

302. Weeeehhh. 😩

😭😭😭i thought I made it

Actually its still open. 391 views 425 likes. Made it.

Hehe I was 301 exactly ^^

FML I meant 301

Shermaine Wong It can be. It depends on the student, parents and how much pressure the schools puts on them. My Korean friends will stay up till 2-3am studying but nobody is forcing them to do it, but the pressure to do really well go to the best uni and get the best job will force it upon themselves. Also I don't know, maybe blowoff school? Or no homeroom/self study time?

Shermaine Wong Honestly, it's not. It's way exaggerated. I'm Korean and I graduated Korean high school last year. It's pretty much the same as anywhere else. Sure, there are the students that work their asses off to get into top universities but that's only a small percentage. We are pressured more by our parents and teachers to study harder than students in other countries but that doesn't mean we always do lol. And not all fangirls "throw their grades to the wind", they can do both lol.

Daniel Baek This is very similar in the UK as well, we don't even have university(college) entrance exams at most universities, if they are it's mostly top tier. Also we don't have teenagers killing themselves because they can't cope with getting bad grades, it's a shame that it happens even if its not that often :(

Shermaine Wong I don't think fangirls queue overnight... I mean... I went to a few music shows and the girls usually made a list the day before the music show. So you could call the "fanclub staff" and put your name on the list and just come an hour before the show starts the next day and then form the queue in order.

Daniel Baek But the SATs and ACTs are kind of like our version of college entrance exams. Those test are what determine what college you go to, do well and you're set but do bad and...good luck getting accepted anywhere.

Eat Your Kimchi I suffered from eating disorders for years and starvation diets don't work in the long run, your body literally goes into starvation mode and it hold onto every calorie it gets but you still end up becoming malnourished and whatnot. not good.

Could you do a fire noodle challenge

Eat Your Kimchi My psychology background makes me wonder about the effect of mukbangs on their audience, especially vis-a-vis Korean social pressure to get thin and stay thin. I also wonder how such social pressure could arise in a culture where the food greeting for hosts is literally "eat a lot." It's a very odd dynamic. On the lighter side, what do you guys think of the drama _Let's Eat 2_? I'm having some problems with it since it seems more like a mukbang with a little bit of story thrown in. What's more, by episode 5, they've all but eliminated Doonjoon's lines where he schools someone on the finer points of whatever they're eating. What are your thoughts on the show, if you've seen any of it?

Eat Your Kimchi I'd say it's getting better in Canada in reguards to people slowly becoming more accepting of mental health issues IF you live in an urban area, from my experience of growing up and talking to rural people mental health is still very stigmatized by the majority of the population. Help is offered in the cities through out-patient services, therapy and mental health institutions such as Homewood in Guelph, Ontario, but we have a ways to go.

Eat Your Kimchi I guess no one seems to care about eating disorders here in America, it seems like. I'm anorexic, but you can't tell by looking at me because my depression and anxiety pills make me gain a lot of weight. The most anyone's ever said to me is "are you gonna eat lunch?" and I just say no and they leave the topic alone.

Krist Biene His show on school lunches in America should be required viewing for all parents in the country.

haiitsfrannie that’s how it was historically

Franchesca A. Romero I'm going to call this bleeding syndrome. If they can't see a problem literally such as a cut or a broken limb with a cast, it doesn't exist to them and you're just whining. I'm afraid the older generations are this way. I know my grandfather was. It's well, dying out, thankfully. Many people are beginning to understand the science behind it all and how addictions and mental conditions can not be "willed" away or that someone who has them is somehow weak or worthless. People react negatively to what they don't understand though. I have OCD, depression, am overweight and have anxiety. Much of the world knows of those words and either makes fun of it or doesn't know what it means. I'm personally going to be studying neurology (the human brain and how it works) and see if I can either help others or encourage pushing this knowledge. And hopefully find some cures for it too. After all, most of the things wrong are chemical imbalances, negative learned habits and other things. If your psychologist knows anything about it, suggest something called CBT (Cognative Behavioral Therapy) it works for many things, including OCD, anxiety, depression etc. It's basically about retraining the brain new habits and exposing yourself to fears on purpose so that the mind has no choice but to face it. It's not fun and it's not easy, but it does help. Meditating also helps, but for some including myself it's very hard to do. I wish you the best of luck in your appointment and in life. Depression, anxiety all forms of mental issues and conditions that have negative impacts are awful things that the world needs to understand, because SOOO many people have it and often don't even realize.

Franchesca A. Romero i'll keep you in my prayers

Franchesca A. Romero I hope you're okay now

Franchesca Aarhus læ

beefaman It's because I'm pregnant!

Ermagerd, congrats! ^.^

Eat Your Kimchi really?congratulations

Eat Your Kimchi with a food baby?

Dg Noorfarta ag jair Unless he is carrying some alien pod baby I am guessing that since Simon is a guy he is in fact not pregnant LOL.

Oh my lord, I cried when I read this because it's the saw for me. I'm a swimmer so my shoulders are broad and my frame is large. I'm still skinny, but my grandparents always talk about my weight and say 'you've gotten fatter ' or 'you need to eat less'. It's really upsetting

I'm the same. Most of my life I've been really small and people just can't seem to realize that just because I'm small for my age doesn't mean I don't eat. (If I didn't eat how would I still be alive) I actually eat quite a lot and I gain weight really slowly. But people just like to assume things and that can get really hurtful and quite annoying. I've come to love my size because I know I'm healthy and I know nothing is wrong with my size. Well it seems that in Korean society these "diets" are just considered normal. I know it's not healthy but unless someone in their society is willing to stand up to these unhealthy habits it's just going to continue.

Jasmine G-H It does seem that more people are starting to like their idols gaining weight. Hopefully one day healthier diets will be the only ones practiced.

bri gomez Exactly! The whole idol thing makes no sense at all. It sorta reminds me of how in America there is now a huge movement to accept curvy people and as a result skinny people are left behind. There are some clothing companies that won't even show skinny models wearing their clothes. I think its completely okay to not show unhealthy/deathly skinny models, but its telling skinnier women that its not okay for them to be as thin as they are. A lot of us can't help that we're the way we are. I wish America and the world was more towards accepting ALL body types instead of what the current ideal body is.

Anna Peng As long as someone is healthy, I don't see any problem with them doing whatever they want whether that is modelling or not. I don't like the "real women have..." because that body shames other people.

bri gomez Yes, exactly!!! It seems like throughout the years society changes their mind so much about body types and they always end up shaming one body type over another one. This vicious cycle needs to stop and ALL body types should be accepted.

Megumi Goose i think you basically said what's on the mind of most girls in the US in regards to weight

Megumi Goose I'm considered underweight for my height, the BMI system is inaccurate and I know I am not underweight, but BMI says so, so I'll listen to my instinct, I am a good enough weight.

***** It's good to hear you're on the right way. Keep it up!

***** I'm glad to hear of you betterment. What kind of cardio workouts? If you don't mind me asking.

I do Fitness Blender's low impact cardio a lot. You can find it here on KZfaq. If not that then I just do lots of jumping jacks, lunges, ect to get my heart rate up.

Turtleneck120Gaming Mostly-Minecraft I know, and I did that for years. Fortunately, I was insanely active, and played 3 hours of basketball a day, so I was able to not explode. But, damn, I wish I didn't drink that much. I'm sure I'd be different now if I just ate better as a kid.

Eat Your Kimchi although who wants a different Simon. NOT me

Turtleneck120Gaming Mostly-Minecraft Well, I'd like one that didn't have all that crap processed through him, maybe :D

Eat Your Kimchi Just not a different personally than i couldn't deal with all of Martina's Corny Jokes XD

That is really lovely for you to say. Thank you! Welcome to the Nasty family :)

Angela Dorau Thank you kindly! I'm glad you think so :D

***** Sigh....I'm just going to delete my comments lol. I don't have the time to argue. She was diagnosed as anorexic by her doctor. She was not eating for weeks and had begun to lose weight. But whatever you say haha

***** That's a really simplified version of events; there are purge type anorexics, and very underweight bulimics also.

***** You were making it sound like anorexics only starve, bulimics only purge, which isnt true. It might be easier to say, but it's not factually correct. Since there is so much misconceptions about EDs (like how anorexic dont eat- Yes they do. Not eating makes you die.) I'd rather clear it up during explainations to non-ED people.

***** 'Pure anorexia' also includes the binge purge subtype. I gather that you mean the other commenter was talking about the stereotypical anorexic, but once again, 'pure anorexia' makes it sound like the subtype is not a part of the 'pure' category, which it is. It is also fairly common. I dont mean to imply you were trying to ignore other disorders; my point was that you weren't explaining the full extent of the anorexia category, merely dumbing it down to the 'not eating' stereotype. My life revolves around EDs, I know the safe foods. But you can say the same for bulimics or EDNOS. Anorexics just tend to eat less in comparison to other EDs, which leads to their underweight diagnosis.

***** I find it unhelpful to add to the stereotype by simplifying it so much. It doesnt take much words to explain you dont mean all anorexics only 'starve' and all bulimics only purge. The misconceptions with anorexics is incredible, no need to add fuel to the fire. As I said already; I gather you were talking to someone who was talking about the stereotypical anorexic, but obviously, she has no personal experience of anorexia and doesnt know much about it. It doesnt help to fuel her obviously wrong preconceptions, because while YOU may know you're dumbing it down, she doesnt.

hehetheeheehehe Yeah, those polar-opposite opinions just push people into either side, public's opinions are really scary. And the way the media portrays the "ideal" figures is to blamed too. I'm 1m66 and right now at 61kg, in Western's eyes I'm in good shape but I'm really flabby and feel very insecure among other girls who have petite frame or same height but visibly skinnier. I see those Victoria's Secret Angels and I think I'm falling victim to this toxic trend of not satisfied with my weight and desperately trying to lose some. But I love food too much so I settled on working out.

hehetheeheehehe Aww thank you so much love! No worry about me, I'm binge-watching Nigella Lawson's cooking shows, PMS-ing and I will inevitably chuck loads of food from the effect, with work-out plan as my redemption set in a few days, so I'm as happy as I can be. I determine to lose weight healthily, it's for my health too. You keep being awesome as you are, let's spread the spirit of self-loving *internet hugs*

534hehe We're still farrrrrr from a million, and I don't think we'll ever get that high, but we're amazed that anybody watches us at all!

You guys are so awesome who wouldn't watch you??? I remember watching you guys the first time about two years ago and I completely fell in love if your videos... I hope you guys will keep making video, because your videos cheer me up whenever i feel down or just want to have a good laugh!

***** I love that you love these videos!

Melina Dark Bonjour!

novarainnoval I agree with them. I love living in Korea as a foreigner, but I couldn't imagine living here as a Korean, nor could I imagine raising kids here. It's just way too challenging.

Camila Fernandez Well, those stats that you're reading on their weights are faked as well, along with their heights. A lot of idols are SIGNIFICANTLY shorter than what they say their heights are.

Camila Fernandez Long ago there was a picture of S&M on Star King or something and they took it with Super Junior. On their profile, they were all like "Eunhyuk: 1m74. Leeteuk: 1m75" and etc. I don't particularly remember, it's an awful long time and although I'm an ELF, I don't mind those kind of details. But overall, Super Junior's average height supposed to be about 1m7 and above. But in that pic, they look exceptionally small compared to S&M, not just in term of size but height as well. We all know Simon is a giant, but even with Martina minus her heels (I don't even know if she wore them then), SJ was visibly shorter. So there you go.

Joanne Min Big Bang's height is always exaggerated a lot as well. Like Taeyang is listed as 173 cm but he's probaply little over 160 cm. He's tiny.

Camila Fernandez Well it's not ideal, but I wouldn't say 160cmish and 45 kg is that unhealty either. At least I haven't noticed any unhealtiness with 168 cm and 47 kg ^^;

Camila Fernandez I'm 168 and weight around 45kg, and can't gain weight. For someone thats whats healthy 'cause thats just how they are made.

EH CBunny But there are people who can't gain weight too. So many body types ^-^ Let's love them all :)

Where did I say anything differently? I just stated a fact.

EH CBunny petite in English comes from petit(e) in French. In french petit means small, danty and little. And it should be the same in English as well but it's become warped over time.

EH CBunny "adjective 1. (of a woman) small, delicate, and dainty "

Who cares. In the current world it describes height and it is commonly used for clothing people 5'4" or less

jrocknpoppingirl I also struggle from Anorexia Nervosa. However, I would just like to say that Anorexia Nervosa is a disorder, a mental illness. It is not a person, and it a very hurtful and triggering for a lot of people when people call mental illnesses by some pet name like Ana, Mia, Rex... etc. I know I'm overreacting a little bit... But I've dealt with people that glorified mental health such as Pro-ED people that like to "Thank Ana for making me skinny."

Pauly Trieu See, I'm the opposite. Calling it by it's actual name is a trigger for me. That is why I prefer to call it Anna. I'm sorry if this was triggering for anyone else.

+hoshikoto15 It sucks when you don't fit the norm... just as hard for the really petite girls as it is for the taller or curvier ones. Some of my friends were stuck shopping in the kids section while I was stuck with what amounted to window curtains below my waistline.

zainab D Hi!

WTF?! How? Why? What?

damn

Heather W Hi!

MrNotThatFamous I think I speak on behalf of all males who can barely gain muscle weight or gain all unhealthy weight when I say "we hate you". That is all.

Kenny Roger Taer love you too bae LMFAO

lowkey-bragging nigga that's that shit I don't like * bang bang * ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I doubt anyone cares

mewantspocky 19 people showed they cared and you care by assuming others dont, if you truly didnt care you would of ignored this all together.
