Exactly. That is insane. Practically no water and no food for a week??? She is lucky she didn’t die. Just wow.

@@Smr8115 yes

But after that she crave for jokbal all the time haha. Good thing her body was very ok now. Until now she go in gym

Yeah, should face a jail time.

She also exercised…

This!!

If they do achieve the perfect body they r criticized and if they don't still they r criticized. I mean what should they do. It hurts my heart thinking of these things :(

ikrrr

woonyoung seems get the hate being to perfect

exactly this. they lose the weight only to receive hate for it. it’s nuts!

Jype back then was really toxic but I can see they are trying to treat their idols better now

Yeah, exactly!!! I think the same

You should understand that they didn’t ask her to eat ice. It’s been said at least a million times. They told her to weigh a certain amount and gave a deadline. Momo was the one who ate ice on her own to hit that number. It was her personal choice. As a once it is sad to hear she went through this traumatic experience, but she wasn’t forced to eat ice cubes. She could’ve substituted that for Low calorie foods.

@@darthsidious9814 It's just that's an unreasonable amount of weight to lose in such a short time. So the people who told to lose that weight definitely implied she should starve herself to do so.

@@getoverhereloser they didn’t imply anything, because the deadline was far away. Momo was the one who slacked off and left her weight loss till the last min. I hate the whole system of guaging a person by wright though, they should all transition to body fat percentage

My mother is the same. When she was younger, she water fasted as well, trying to be skinnier (she was always slender).. she can't stand water up to this day and it makes her nauseous

@@jayaa9825 I hate to break it to you, but your mother is probably severely dehydrated. We need water to sustain and nothing can replace it. I can’t imagine being afraid of water, something that most of the world don’t even have proper access to.

I can’t believe they made Momo diet so hard and make her feel so bad about her body that one of her fear foods is LITERALLY water. Actually criminal!

She’s an idiot because you lose weight simply by drinking water instead of any other drink or food.

I hate drinking water but I'm forced to

💀💀💀

@@deku4077 Are you saying “💀” in a bad way?

@@PuddleWuddleo No, as a person who suffers from anorexia (a type of eating disorder ) it scares me that a community of people supports eating disorders.

@@deku4077 em, are u laughing?

@@letsrollthediceyeah No, sorry to cause the misunderstanding.

Yes

Yes!! Not to mention the Wendy diet(s) as well, just horrendous!!

@@YoshiPotter88 where

@@suyeesia7770 If you look up Wendy Red Velvet diets you'll probably find them- during the Red Flavour Era Wendy went through a diet called the Yoyo Diet where it's like weight cycling... so basically what happens is the person gains a lot of weight and then lose it really fast and it's extremely unhealthy (definitely look it up because not sure how to fully explain it)! And then I also heard that she tried the deadly 13 day diet (I think that this was before she debuted either that or this is a different one- I think this is a different one because I heard somewhere that she would do 10,000 jumping jacks but agsin not sure) where basically she ate a half bowl of rice and half of an apple, ran 40 laps around a track, jumped 3,000 ropes and did 40 minutes of weight training and 20 minutes of stretching per day. There is also a video where Seulgi, Taeyeon and Wendy are eating ice cream and the staff was glaring at Wendy and Seulgi and Wendy kind of scared and stopped eating- then King Taeyeon stepped in and told the staff to stop being like that and to let them eat their ice cream! Overall we just need to protect our idols because this will seriously hurt and or kill them!

It's so sad but they also have the highest suicide rate 😔 💔

@@einah6310 yep, i was aware of this fact and there is definitely some relation there even though other parts of korean soviety, culture, and lack of mental health cause all of it as a whole. it is tragic.

thank you for speaking up this. wish the best in life

here i have to eat something no matter what so I can't even think about eating ice like that everyday

I will literally DIE if I ate only ice for a week 💔

i feel really bad for our senpai for doing that

@@TWICE.FIGHTING no u wont

@@clayxd3550 I'm already severely underweight for someone my age, so I could die.

I felt that 😭😢

Something similar happened in Jimin's case too, I believe at one point later when Jimin wanted to lose weight in a similar way again, Jungkook try to show him how scary seeing him do something like that can be by saying that this time he will start starving himself/dieting along with Jimin, and it upset Jimin so much to potentially have to see Jungkook go through something similar that he gave up on the plan and decided to eat normally after all. 😟❤It breaks my heart to hear stories like these, at no point during any of these groups' eras or even pre-debut days were any of them even remotely close to what could be considered as 'fat' or 'overweight' and yet they were conditioned to think this way about themselves from the earliest days even til today. 😟

Poor baby 😢

true. my bias rn only eats vitamin pills and water in a day n everyone around him praises him for losing weight. surely there's a healthier way?? the leader keeps calling the members pigs if they eat 🤦‍♂️it's a mess

@@peachbooks3199 who do you stan

I found it so weird that also male idols are forced to be skinny as well. I mean men were always considered attractive by having muscle definition.

Its the fact that his nickname used to be Baozi!

@@eee_baek why would anyone name that and if I may ask, what is the meaning of Bao Zi?

@@munchiebear Baozi means bread bun. Xiumin likes eating bread buns which is why they nicknamed him that, but also because of the fact that he had a round shaped face.

@@eee_baek ohhh I see, thanks 😊

Now i have decided to starve and eat 1 meal in a week of 500 calories if i dont do this i will have many health problems cuz of my weight the doctor told lose some weight ur fat so now imm ready to starve to death.

Also by perpetuating this myth that obviously underweight idols like wonyoung are ‘naturally skinny’… no one is naturally scarily underweight and if they are, they should be working with their healthcare providers to put on some mass because it’s dangerous and unhealthy no matter what. Stop pretending these idols are ‘naturally’ bmi 15, you’re part of the problem!

But they look so cute and healthy! Wtf is wrong with people? I'm happy swan is not forced to diet (i hope) but I've seen she kinda lost weight between comebacks. I hope she does it the healthy way

@@alexc9278 yeah same :( swan is absolutely gorgeous, I hope the weight loss is her choice and is healthy too, but knowing how companies treat their idols , I’m not so sure

How do you know

@@suyeesia7770 they literally mentioned in the video bout jimin wdym ?

@Soulhazer fasting isn’t bad that’s not even the worst ones

OMAD is not a bad diet actually.

@@bye1546 I think the problem isn’t fasting, the problem is what’s the purpose behind it. Idols do it to fit standards that are made up by society or to be more precise beauty companies.

Agree

Back when I first got into kpop, there was a group called "Piggy Dolls" that where chubby and overweight girls. They were fat shamed to no end by online nets... The company also made their weights the entire existence of the group. Everything was about their weight and how they were plus sized. While I loved the representation of these cute women in Kpop, the company didn't want to make their concept anything else except for how chubby they were. They even lost a combined total of 115 LBS for their next comeback, which stood against everything that the group was for. Then, ALL of the members were replaced with thinner ones that fit the beauty standard. It crushed me. I loved those girls and they were tossed away so easily by the company for thinner ones. I wish to have a group that's chubby or plus sized but makes the same music as ITZY or TWICE. Being plus sized myself, I want people to not think about my weight but look at my personality or other characteristics that make me who I am. I hope Kpop gets rid of starvation diets and just lets the idols be the weights they want to be.

@@BreannaBaozi I remember hearing something about them. I’m not sure, but weren’t they even in a good body shape and had a healthy amount of weight?

@@emimew the first members of Piggy Dolls were medically overweight. That was their charm said by the company. But the new members that replaced them were a moderate BMI and were thinner than 1st gen PD but still bigger than all of the other girl group idols. I really wish they kept the original line up. At that point it’s smart to just make a new group because no original members were left and the new members were all debuting at the same time lol

lol young growing generation? this isn't really about kpop, it's the whole korean culture, it will not change ever, asians as a whole take weight problems seriously, some countries less than others but you will never see asian countries glorifying obesity like the west.

But then fan expectations are formed by who the companies choose to present as idols. It’s a toxic cycle, but the fans are generally young girls who also hold themselves to that standard. The people behind the companies are adult men who are profiting from it.

Omgg :(

this goes to show that appearances really does matter a lot.

@@katgreer6113 yeah it sucks :( appearence shouldn't matter all that much

:(

I do that all the time I’ve overcome anorexia but I still do this

I’m so glad you’re feeling better, and I’m proud of you for being able to move beyond such a touch cycle of your life! Sending you lots of good vibes ✨

Exactly and what made it worse was that despite her legs looking toned, netizens kept criticising her arm fat and round face, up to the point where she was affected and went on a liquid only diet. Like how is being healthy over 50kg not attractive?

And she was so young which was why she still had a little baby fat.

@@munchiebear one thing that is disturbing about idols being picked on for their weight is that most of the time, overall, they're no bigger than their groupmates but the problem is that their body naturally collects fat in the 'wrong' places whether it be the thighs, cheeks, arms. Which forces these already skinny idols to go above and beyond losing extreme amounts of weight because spot weight loss is not a thing.

Fr, it doesn’t make sense. It’ll be way better if we just don’t comment about the idol’s bodies no matter how thin or how chubby, because it can ruin the way they think and make them have low self esteem.

I have seen plenty of slim girls who are ugly. So yes.

They chose thier lives this way so it is thier responsibility leave it be if they are suffering it was thier choice and thier is an Indian proverb " jo dikhta hai wahi bikta hai" what is seen is sold

@@amitkumardas8742 oh my godddd are you one of those people i cant believe you just said that under my comment...,IT IS NOT EVEN THEIR CHOICE how do you feel when someone forces you to eat at only a certain amount when you want it more than that. Crazy you are. Companies could just set a rule where they could follow but not pressuring them to leading them like this. ITS MOSTLY THE COMPANY'S RESPONSIBILITY TO TAKE CARE OF THEIR ARTISTS.

@@exp-io853 see i am not against you, what can you do ? Start a war against the organisation i just said it's thier choice. Everyone works under organization but an organisation has also it reason why they do that your temper lead you to lose your reasoning calm down miss you just sitting in home you have the right to speak anything about them. can you do something about this ? U have solutions to this can you make these organisations change their mind

Dude it’s not healthy diet you will be sick !!

Please don’t listen to them. I’m a recovering anorexic and I know how badly that hurts. You absolutely should eat enough, healthily, and exercise so you FEEL good too. Focus on how you feel about you.

Help is possible. I promise you’ll be okay. Please know eating is most important.

One meal a day doesn’t have to mean something bad. A lot of people eat one meal a day. You just make sure to make it a big meal. I myself only eat 2 to 1 meals a day so I can get the benefits of fasting.

@@katelady1370 yeah I understand that. But when he's doing it because of other people's words it's worrying

The Korean beauty standard and the whole concept is so superficial rubbish that there can be no.

You even need some muscles in your thighs for dancing... The standards are so unrealistic. How are idols supposed to look this thin when they have to dance a lot and also eat a lot to maintain energy for practicing and that super-stressful lifestyle with basically no sleep? I'll never get it. Like... 1000 calories a day for 8 years with all those work-outs? Just no...

Neither was the west slim thicc look but honestly the kpop look scares me more

+ the Korean fans they're literally sick

What do you mean

Hwasa looks healthy and she should be looked up to

or when they demand stylists to give idols 'better' outfits to 'prevent hate' when in fact by better outfits they usually just mean outfits that either hide or alter the idols natural figure in order to conform to the norm. The lack of self-awareness from the fans is sad.

@@ccsbm208 how so

Unfortunately in Korea, looks matter even if you're stupid untalented, have the worst personality, as long as you're beautiful you get over all the problems

This is slavery not a career

Unfortunately, beauty standards is a huge huge deal in south korea. Even if the company wanted their idol to be healthy, when the idols doesnt meet beauty standards, they will be mocked, critisice, hated, by the citizens. Its a toxic culture but if theres someone to blame its their beauty-obssesed-crazy citizens.

Its a thing that he thinks skinny girls dance lighter the most he likes them to eeihh is 35 to 40 kg thats a grown woman he said you are too fat too a size 00 Japanese contestant.

it’s also incredibly hypocritical bc you know that the ppl commenting and criticizing them don’t look as thin as a noodle as they want their favorite idols to look like.

no don't follow these at all the diets in asia are based on paedophilia. Stick thin but not skeleton. Child like physique. Disgusting

Agree

i agree that

And people criticizing their bodies

Considering she had to lose 15lbs in a week, she was probably concerned about water weight. You wont gain fat by drinking water, but you can gain normal, healthy water weight. MMA fighters will often send their kidneys into hydrolysis to lose a ton of water fast so they can make their weight class for weigh ins. It's insane. Body builders also stop drinking water before a competition to give more muscle definition. Its insane

Oh my god don't... Are you want to die

Yes, bestie. The best diet is simply not exist anymore 😍

i agree ice is quite refreshing but only eating ice is a whole another story
