[@pineapplecreampuff6431]

i guess, this is why people say at the end of the day, the only one who would be there for you is yourself. as long as you're healthy, it's fine :)

[@pineapplecreampuff6431]

In my opinion, it's okay when people tell you to lose weight to BE HEALTHY not to be pretty. If being pretty means to be underweight, i wouldn't abide by their 'advice'. But if losing weight to be healthy, yeah i would take that advice if it's proven that i'm overweight or obese. Because if it's the latter, I think it would be safe to say that the adviser care for my well being. Of course it's just my opinion in social etiquette because that's what I've been taught to at school. Like you i'm also pressured by family mostly (thankfully my friends are very nice) who tell me that i'm fat and all. It's really sad especially when it comes from your parents. Sometimes, I'd cry so much because they keep comparing me to my siblings who are underweight. I have an optimum weight. My bmi is normal but they're telling me i'm fat. That's not what i've been taught. I've been taught that normal bmi is the best one could achieve for an optimum life. Honestly if my teacher hadn't told me that, i would've probably be depressed right now. It really clicked my logic. Being underweight is a problem and being overweight is also a problem. it has ALWAYS been like that. We can't have anything too much or too little. that's just how life works. I know it's hard to love yourself and be courageous when those who are dear to you speak ill of you. I know that too well. But you have to be brave and love yourself. And by loving yourself i mean to be healthy and life a happy life. Your family does matters to you but so does you. I'm a muslim and quran had taught me that we shouldn't do anything that would be bad for ourselves. as a religious person i took that advice in every thing i do. because no matter what. i mean no matter what, god is first. anyway, be strong and be courageous. I'm here to support you. If you're doing the right thing, even when everyone's against you, you're doing really great and just know that there ARE people who would support you in your right decision. Maybe they just are not supposed to be there yet. :)

Ever watch “My 600lb Life”?? Those people also thought they knew their health best, until their doctors told them they’re going to die soon if they don’t change. Some of them would still be calling fast food delivery, even after being told that. These days, we’re encouraged to believe whatever we want to believe; it’s apparently true as long as we “feel” it is. I hope their doctors agree with their self-diagnoses, otherwise, they have no meaning.

[@usedtobemyself]

[@esayem7746]

Poemi10304 No, typically those people know it's their own fault but just don't know where you start to go back to how they were. Stfu and stop acting like you know their bodies more than them. At first glance, everyone thinks I'm fit because I'm 5'4 at 115 lbs and never gain weight. When in reality, I just have a fast metabolism and eat like shit. You can't tell someone's health just by looking at their body. And even if they are obese, guess what? Calling them pigs and to drop a few lbs, isn't going to help.

[@angeliquedominique740]

[@GermanEonni]

I live in South Korea and even as someone who is not plus size but just curvy (at least for western standards) I can barely find clothes here, especially pants.. I always buy my clothes in Japan as they have quite a big variety of very fashionable big size clothes - even inside of normal stores. Inside of Korea I have to relate on H&M or Uniqlo but even there, it's usually hard to find an XL or sometimes even L size..

[@kamillaodinaeva1218]

That sounds crazy!

[@tardiskiddo13]

True. Even here in Indonesia, it is quite hard to find XL size. Esp pants. But when I go to Japan, even going to a random clothing store in a station, I could easily find cute shorts and tops that actually fit me comfortably

Wow when I went to the bt21 in ny I was looking for sweaters me being a big teen the biggest size I saw was a medium so I got that and hope that it would fit..it did but I just gotta loose a few 😂💛

[@emiliefrederiksen4072]

That sounds sooo crazy! Here in Denmark it is normal to be a bit curvy or skinny or “fat” (sorry i don’t wan’t to hurt anyone). So there is size for everyone even in stores like Gucci or Versace. And even if I am just curvy then you don’t see it that much p-cuz I am tall (like a giant)

[@carolinaprado-rico5628]

Yes I also live in Korea and what youre saying is so acurate. Im 5ft 3in and weigh about 127 to 130lbs. I wear an American size 6 sometimes 4 but people here call me chubby. Like I wear an L size here in pants and even then they are so tightttt. I can also only shop at H&M or Forever21 for my sizes and its always the biggest size in pants. When I go back home I small compared to other girls my age but in Korea I feel overweight. Seriously messes with your mind. I cant even imagine how difficult it must be for these girls.

[@mizukageg6686]

According to BMI tests yes weighing less than 50kg and being 170cm is considered underweight, but then again, underweight doesn't mean unhealthy, it just means you're not at the point that is considered "perfect weight" for someone your height. In the same way that overweight is not the same as obese. You can be healthy and still be a bit overweight or underweight, but then doctors wouldn't advice it.

NCBB AlexC Agreed. Plus not all countries are inclusive to everyone's size. I dated an Asian guy here in the US and it was extremely hard to buy him clothing. I one day bought some clothes from an online Korean store and stuff fit him without needing to be altered. Clothing should be inclusive to the country it is catering. It does not make sense for them to cater globally since we all have very different body types. But, plus sized people across the board do have issues. Even in the US.

Eyes are a liability for these shallow people. My preference means I'll initiate, but I can always be receptive by befriending and enjoying someone in a new light when I learn more, especially if I feel loved, rather than an ATM. The only problem with activism is when it eventually decays into slacktivism, and they become hypocritical or one-dimensional. This happens to damn near every movement after 5-10 years of the same ideas, which won't update for the times.

[@Lucy-ws7sp]

Kimberly Eli this isn't glorifying obesity just because somebody looks fat or get fat doesn't mean they aren't healthy and skinny doesn't equal healthy you guys are only okay with skinny or underweight people being shown but once fat people start talking about their struggles and speaking out it equals to glorifying obesity they're already fucking treated like shit and once they speak up your first response is "I personally dont appreciate the glorifying of obesity" what a worthless piece of shit you are, and I read your whole comment just say you hate fat people and go fat and obese are not the same fucking thing. Leave obese people to obese they're going through a much worse time than you are they fucking know they're obese and you dont know what they're doing the chances are they working on getting their weight down.

I bought swimwear from yesstyle. I bought size XL. The bottom was like a U.S. size XS/S, and the top was like a size M/L. WTH?!

[@itsalwayshalloweenexceptwh5118]

This is my problem with YesStyle sizing too. I have a lean body mass of 48 kg so weighing 50 kg at 165cm is never going to happen (you die below 10-13% body fat). My body composition now is considered in the healthy range and I wear a EU size 42-44. I could lose another 5kg, 7kg at the most. Most Yesstyle skirts stop at 76cm, so they don't fit me. And the 76cm might be called 5XL or something. Different worlds I guess. I had the same size trouble with japanese lolita fashion brands, if I wormed my way inside a dress or skirt it would still be way too short hitting me mid thigh or 15-20cm above the thigh when it's supposed to be knee length. If you are taller and wider (without being overweight) than the average korean woman or japanese woman, it's time to accept that these things weren't made with our bodies in mind. Which is fine. But to not fit into the 5xl whilst I can shop in the regular size range in my own country is all kinds of weird.

If you buy anything from yesstyle, always buy it one size larger so it’ll fit properly... idk tho lol for me it works 😂

I'm seeing lots of comments are dedicated to say whether they are attractive or not, but the point is they aren't arguing that ppl should to find them sexually attractive. They want ppl to treat them without bias or "concerns" on their body or appearance. Their goal is to establish more choices of life for their body size w/out getting ashamed. They are pointing out society's ignorance which is saying fat women aren't the real women and they don't or shouldn't exist. Women do not have to be appear attractive to men and vise versa. Not everyone's goal is to have a sex or get married and have a child. No matter who it is, let them live their life with dignity wout getting ashamed.

[@Poemi10304]

But that is the norm there, because they have almost no overweight people compared to many developed countries. So they’re the odd ones out, unlike in the U.S., where there are a highly significant amount of overweight people. That is even more sad and upsetting because of the health problems that probably come with it, don’t you think? And the stores/brands aren’t being inconsiderate or uncaring, they’re realistic as to what is going to sell the most, as most companies are. That’s what marketing research is for. If it’s not profitable, they’re not going to make it. You just have to find the right specialty and/or online shop for it. Buy international brands even. Maybe certain men’s clothing, as they’re most likely roomier. A lot of us go through similar issues. You just gotta make it work. Or move to an overweight country, I suppose. Then they’ll be big fish in a sea of big fish, rather than big fish in a pond of little fish.

[@Artbug]

I dont understand what the big deal is... They can shop online. My shoe size is a wide, and i cant find that in regular shops so i have to order online. You saw the graph: less than 5% of ppl need plus size clothing in korea. Its not the shops fault they dont stock it. Its not a good business model to cater to that small of an audience. Especially when they have to compete with online.

[@allscool-4131]

Poemi10304 I somewhat agree with that, I do think it's an extremely good thing that they have less obese people, even if the cause for that is because of discrimination. However they most likely have a higher rate of anorexia instead. Either way it's all bad and I think we need to not discriminate just for how someone looks, and instead only advise people if they're not eating enough or too much, which is what brings about these problems.

[@yvonnedowns2068]

Everyone is saying that's such a small audience to cater to and it's not a smart business model. 1) it's called a niche market and has its benefits, 2) 4.7% is a little over 2 million people is south Korea who are being excluded, and 3) a store does not have to cater to one specific market. Is it easier? Yes because the focus is direct, but expanding a product line or inclusivity of products can be very beneficial. Especially in such a small market. Just to clear a few things from a business stand point.

I’ve been morbidly obese since I was EIGHT years old, I have never been a size 2. And I don’t need to be a health professional to recognise that even being mildly overweight has huge negative effects on your health. Do you need to be a health professional to recognise that smoking is bad for you? Or does the research and scientific evidence speak for itself? Did you know obesity is the second highest leading preventable cause of cancer, second only to smoking? What is your definition of an intelligent conversation then? Ignoring scientific facts about what extra weight does to your body in the name of being ‘accepting’?

I’m around 72 kg, or 160 llbs and 5’4, people used to judge me as I do come of a little bit chubbier, but it’s not all fat that comes with my weight, I currently play multiple sports and I’m just always active. My doctor says I’m very healthy and should be proud of my muscle gain. My only goal is to maybe slim down a bit and get rid of the extra weight! I used to compare myself to these Korean girls as I am asian myself and wonder why can’t I be like them?, but really it’s your own body, take care of it and don’t compare!

you go sis, youre fine the way you should be. im 5'3" and 62 kgs so 138 pounds-ish and thats still considered overweight in south korea but universally, excluding ideals such as that, i am healthy. my weight comes from my muscles bc i do swim and i am type active and yours is exactly like that. and plus the millions of other females that are in the same situation as us. so we shouldnt be ashamed, never because we might just live longer and have better stamina than them at an older age.

Yuju Waterbottle There are people who are naturally chubby and are considered „overweight”, then they starve themselves, work out too much and are depressed because society pressures them. I mean look at all thode idols who look „thin and healthy” and then look at how they eat (eg the „IU” diet) There are tons of different body types. Some are naturally chubby or „fat”, some are naturally skinny. You cant immediately tell how a person eats or how much she works out just by looking at their bodies. Judging people who dont fit a stupid standard is doing nothing but making the process of normalizing a variety of body types slower.

Србомбоница thank you for the psychological bs about an inferiority complex (why though? Inferior to what ?) But I wasn't triggered, just stating a truth, nobody have the right to judge anybody appearances. If you are like you said and fine good for you, but you are not everybody on this planet, not everybody has the same body type and deciding on a number to say someone is good or not is stupid and dangerous. A small woman could look fat at 50 kg and a tall woman could look thin at 70 kg. But just so you know in Europe the board of medicine declared that to be healthy at 176 cm you should weight around 65kg now do whatever you want with this information.

[@Loonemonroe]

Tucna Fucna in theory, your ideal weight could be calculated by subtracting 110 so your height BUT it doesn't work for every body types. Some have heavy bones, some carry weight mostly on the lower parts of their bodies. And NO. No one is allowed to judge you. Some people are "fat" because of a sickness, depression or something else and it's not written on their forehead, who gives you the right to judge. I have a friend who is underweight even though she eats like 10 person, people would call her anorexic when it's not true, this is not right. Judging people's appearances is wrong, it is not something that should be normalised.

Imma walk my 48kg ass into a Korean clothing store and find nothing that fits me, you know why?? Because IM SHORT BUT HAVE A LOT OF BODY FAT. According to their beauty standard, I fit the weight expectancy, however, I have fat everywhere, they think just because you are 50kg or less you will be "slim". They didn't think about height did they? Yeah I'm less than 5'5 and weigh 106 but I swear to you all I am not xS or S. It worries me to think what weight I should be since I am already am light as hell but have fat everywhere. In order to be slim... will I need to be 100 pounds?? 99? Less???? This rule is beyond stupid. Imagine how many girls have put themselves through starvation, girls who would medically be considered underweight if they weighed 105 or 110. Say, a tall girl or a girl with a body type that naturally produces more body fat, just so she can fit this beauty standard. I was once very underweight and it was the lowest point of my life, really, I weighet 95 pounds and was 5'1 but boy I would have been praised for my slimness because "I fit the beauty standard". This is toxic. The ideal body should be a healthy body. Not a "slim" or "skinny" body. Those factors do not define health. These women may very well be healthier than the 48kg women who might be underweight. Ya'll feel me? It all depends on body type and height.

The girls in the video are considered fat in any country really, the bad thing is that people think that -fat= not beautiful-. Everyone, fat and really thin girls should be considered beautiful and shouldn't be judged by any society for their appearance.

[@mandarinenzeittv860]

Hi, would it change your opinion if you knew that the low obesity rate in Korea doesn't just mean that there are less overweight people, it also means that there are lots of Koreans (especially young girls) who are dangerously underweight and suffer from eating disorders and body dysmorphia? Personally I struggle to see how a low obesity rate alone can be a good thing. It doesn't mean that there are no health issues, just different ones, on the other end of the scale.

[@meli1872]

Mandarinen Zeit (귤TV) if there is actual rates ( like the ones showing they have lower obesity rates than outer countries) showing that people have high anorexic rates/ have health issues because of this then yeah i agree with you! Its just as bad

[@mandarinenzeittv860]

From a quick Google I just found an article from 2016, intervewing a professor of mental health who estimates that 1/4 young Korean women suffer from EDs (pub.chosun.com/client/news/viw.asp?cate=C01&mcate=&nNewsNumb=20160420131&nidx=20132). And another from this year (2018) that estimates that 1/10 Korean women in their 20s are at high risk of EDs (www.womennews.co.kr/news/view.asp?num=129710). There are official stats as well but usually these only count people who have specifically had hospital treatment for EDs, so they don't get the full scope. I also remember reading somewhere that after Japan, Korea has one of the fastest increasing rates of ED. I'm not sure familiar you are with Korean culture in general, but diet culture is extremely pervasive in South Korea, and it's not considered rude to tell to someone's face that they should lose weight, or that they look fat, so I would argue that a lot of people probably don't even realise that they have disordered eating habits, because it's so normal and common. This was several years ago now but I was reading a Korean fashion magazine once (think Vogue, Elle, etc) and they had a spread asking people on the streets what their best diet/fitness secrets are. (CW: eating disorders, bulimia) There was one college student who said that she uses a toothbrush to throw up her meals a few times a week, and the magazine straight up published it! As a diet tip! Like, that's a major red flag for bulimia, and where I'm from (New Zealand) no magazine would publish that unless they were talking about the dangers of ED and had resources to hotlines and places you could go to get help. So yeah, the absence of obesity doesn't necessary equal health.

while these girls are adorable and this movement is great, why did it feel like korea expose was trying to make Korea's low obesity rates sound like a bad thing? lower obesity rates is a good thing. they shouldve put up more charts for things like average clothing sizes and model weights for comparison instead of obesity rates. would've made the point stronger too, since this is a fashion video above all else. anyway, does anyone know the models' social media acocunts? like IG or anything? ouo

[@Anantax3]

Makes me wonder what the anorexia rates look like...

[@emilily_25]

im guessing pretty high, sadly :/ anorexia isn't often recognized there until the utmost extreme, and what a lot of other countries may call anorexia, koreans may just call a diet. the mentality is changing, but it's a slow and painful process

[@Hailcourage]

Yes but many women in korea go to extremes to be thin which is equally, if not worse, than being fat

[@emilily_25]

never said that isn't bad as well. it just seems more logical to focus on things like dress sizes and the like, rather than obesity rates. or at least, if they're gonna put obesity rates, also put ED rates next to it. but it's a fashion video, and since a big part of trying extreme things to being thin is for appearance and fashion, dress sizes and stuff makes more sense

[@meaninglessuntitles1]

yes, it looks like they where saying "we should stop stereotypes and have a bigger obesity rate"

[@sonalibendke8907]

They are hot and cute af so don't you dare to call them something wrong or I will break your mouth We fat girls are humans too guys it's not because we eat more than a thin person but because we eat less so are body start storing the food or some girls also have disease which cause weight gain or weight loss or it is a Herrity so please treat us the same way as others Thank you for the video it made me feel better about me 😁🤗💜💜

[@nobody-fo9px]

You know that starvation is not good tho right?

[@Toxihex]

No, it's because you eat more calories. The amount of food might be the same, but the energy value of a 30g snickers bar and a 30g carrot differ greatly. Sure, the natural disposition towards losing or gaining weight is different for everyone, but nobody becomes and stays obese without taking in way more calories than they should. Eating sweets and/or fried foods daily is not a normal diet, even though everyone seems to see it as such. Drinking water after soda is very important too, but I see very few people doing it. Some even drink soda instead of water. Our bodies are not made to deal with such a huge amount of sugars and salts. We feel a high dopamine reward after ingesting them because we've evolved to do so from how rarely they used to be found, we're not made to have them so often in such quantities. Take this from someone whose kidneys go crazy about filtering through excess sugars and salts - if you knew what a dramatic effect one type of food has on your body compared to a healthier alternative, you would barely ever touch restaurant food, much less fast food or most of the sweets and snacks on the market, with the exception of a few crackers, energy bars and chocolates. Even if there are people who miraculously stay skinny through all that, their internal organs and systems are going through the same thing. Can you honestly say you'd stay the same weight if you ate exclusively 2,000 calories of healthy foods with the occasional treat?

[@IlseBelievesInPink]

Not all fat people are fat because they overeat, only the majority.

[@rugile7200]

I totally agree! I used to undereat just to lose weight, but because of stress, my body stored every bite I took. So many things indicate, why we gain/lose weight, sometimes you can weight 2 kg more because of liquids, it's absurd

[@stantempest2748]

Love this. This is kind of an issue in asia in general. When I tried to go shopping in Vietnam I had trouble lol not only do their shoes not have any width at all, I had trouble finding shirts. I am not plus size but my chest is bigger and nothing would fit over my chest lol. Anyways I Love that these girls are doing this in their country. I wish them lots of success ♡

[@dreamysubliminals6137]

J Tran you do understand that their sizes are different from foreign sizes because Asians are usually smaller ( have a smaller frame ) than foreigners

[@vffncl0]

I just want to point out that a lot of Korean women are very short. ~50kg might be a healthy weight if you're short but it can be very unhealthy if you're tall(-ish). It's ridiculous to only concentrate on this one number and not consider each individual's height, muscle mass, etc. And Asian people typically have a bit more petite frame than other races so their healthy BMI is _slightly_ different from the healthy BMI for other races...

[@L013-r9y]

moi thanks for pointing that out! I definitely did a double take at the 50kg stuff, considering that'd be nearing underweight for my height. I wish they'd mentioned something about average height or even BMI in this video to put the weight into perspective better

[@Mickaelasama]

moi in korea most of woman do under 48kg sometime when I walk in the street her I see many students with very unhealthy body .. sadly once I saw a girl she seem young about 10 years old , I was supermarket and I hear she have conversations with her friend she say that she cannot take anything because she have to diet is very sad to see a young girl saying about diet really in korea is sad but they only show skinny idol and skinny actor for them you cannot be fat and model... me i think if you have talent whatever your weight you can succeed

[@Splexsychiick]

[@mikasanchez1310]

I think is amazing and great that the obesity rates are so low. The clothing sizes reflect the majority. I do think they should create clothing that can suit other body types too though, just so everyone can have nice clothes to wear

[@nnnnuuuurrrr]

Mika Sanchez the obesity rates are low, yes, but there are a lot of women who are in really unhealthy and non-human diets. They struggle a lot more than other countries, eating very little every day and exercising. (I'm saying this because I'm half Korean)

[@neamhdhlisteanach6720]

These women are absolutely beautiful and I can't believe people don't understand the fact that being skinny isn't always healthy either. I know South Korea has a high smoking rate so why is weight considered a higher health issue than that. Like I was saying these women are role models for me especially and I would love to tell them that some day. 제이 스타일 이블렛 화이팅!!!♥

[@eliselol85]

Smoking is a problem but is not exclusive to skinny people. However on average skinnny people who are not severely underweight are on average healthier than overweight people it is a medical and scientific fact. And if they are unhealthy is is not a weight related issue like arthritis and joint pains that carrying so much physical weight gives you.

[@Poemi10304]

What do people usually mean by “skinny”?? People will assume you have anorexia or bulimia (btw, bulimics aren’t skeletal like anorexics, from what I’ve read) when you’re skinnier than most, which is b.s. Many even feel the need to tease or bully you because of it. They have no inkling of what a true anorexic looks like. Basically, if you don’t fit the societal norm of what is acceptable, you’ll have to put up with jerks, whether you’re big or small. So just as you may have been called something like, let’s say, “whale” and told to eat less, I have been called “stick” and told to eat more. Pretty much the same thing on the opposite side of the spectrum. So no, skinny isn’t better, in my experience. In reality it tends to only refer to a particular range of average weight people though, not actual skinny (underweight) people. I think it’s hypocritical that people must feel good about their weight by putting others’ weight down, when we’re actually going through much of the same problems. Body positivity shouldn’t be limited to the overweight. I remember the Dove campaign with all the different shaped women. That was positive, that was inclusive, that was solidarity between women. We need more of that. For men, too.

[@mylittlehyrule]

Quork most of the skinny girls in korea are quite short. compared to western ideals, skinny girls are a lot taller. in the west, you're unhealthy if you're 6ft and weigh 45kg, but in korea if you're 5f and weigh 45kg then you're healthy.

[@eliselol85]

frostiwon edits 100% agree but that is completely not what I was talking about and you know that, standardizing their 45kg in the west would lead to an epidemic of being underweight which is just as bad/ if not worse. What I am saying is if being underweight and malnourished can be demeaned and made fun of take Eugenia Cooney which most people even petitioned to stop being on youtube, why don't we do the same for morbidly obese people?? To not offend?? What a spineless world we live in. The body positivity movement which I don't agree with on any level has a lot to work on. They shouldn't work on glamoursing being under or overweight they should be promoting healthy eating and excercise to live long and be fit at your personal healthiest regardless of your weight and shape, and not trying to defy science so they can feel temporary comfort both overweight and underweight people have something in common, most are not happy within themselves when they look in the mirror. Instead of bettering themselves which is an evolutionary advantage that humans nowadays are loosing, they look for external validation. This will never happen as humans will always be the same.

[@eliselol85]

frostiwon edits western girls are not usually 6ft either they I am 5'8 and /taller than average in london yhe average is about 5'4/5'5 whixh means the average weight shouldn't really exceed 65kg for not being overweight

Healthy means being at a weight that doesn't make you at risk of death/illness, these girls aren't obese they are curvy and plump and they work and move like any other human being so obviously they're not in any concerning state.

[@salmourn7316]

BornaE why can you not calm down. I didn't mean to offend u or anything I was just literally stating what I read in the video and that's that, but you go outta ur way to call my comment retarded. And about that, maybe if u were juuuuust a tad more sensitive and understanding you could actually convince people to understand your point of view. Because I'm sure fat girls who already have self esteem issues want to seriously listen to advice from someone who called them beluga whales :) nice going, genius. Fuck outta here with your attitude.

(2) u think that they're helping the world in some way now, so you have like, 0 reason to be angry at them. They don't get anything, you don't make a point. (3) you've given up on convincing people like me, you don't care if they listen to your advice, and you don't care who's supporting both of our opinions, leaving you with 0 reason to comment in the first place. And finally, (4), you come here and in aggression start this heated debate or whatever, and you don't expect anything; you don't expect me to agree with you, you don't expect me to say anything useful; you've chosen to believe that my comments are straight up retarded... You don't expect anything at all and yet you're still angry.... At me? You don't give a shit about me and what I think and yet you still get fucking _angry at me?_ Way to go, buddy. You get nothing.

[@izzy7492]

You can’t be overweight and healthy. There’s no such thing as “chubby or skinny genetics” either, how much you eat determines your weight. If you consistently overeat, you’ll gain weight and when you aren’t a healthy weight you put yourself at risk for developing diseases which can have a significant negative impact on your quality of life. It really isn’t that difficult to understand.

[@agoogleuser169]

Dark Lightning unhealthy people know they’re unhealthy. They don’t need to be told that by other people. There’s no point in having it so they can only dress badly. Insulting a bunch of people you don’t know based off of weight is so rude and disrespectful.

Ok so these comments are all over the place. I'm overweight and right now I'm doing the best as I can do for a healthier lifestyle. I think people should go by their height, age, race, gender, and BMI's. Like some of the comments on here Asians do have a higher percentage of health problems caused by being overweight, which is the reasons Koreans are "narrow minded". They are only trying to help others to do healthy things. Now I do believe there are better ways to tell people instead of being brutally blunt. I also saw some comments about people being skinny privileged? Nothing like that exist. I have some skinny friends who actually get called out by fatter people calling them anorexic. I think that everyone should worry about themselves instead of trying to call others out for their body types. Stop being so sour!

This is crazy. We don't have much obese people in Poland but there was always a variety of sizes to choose from.

I think Korea denies the presence of different people than thin ones :-\

[@khum2576]

[@Autumnea]

I get the idea of being healthy and all, but when under 50 kg is considered healthy there is a problem. Being healthy for me is eating regularly, vegetables, meat and others stuff and avoiding as much as possible fast food, not starving to death, or struggling to keep that under 50 kg thing with the risk of faintingor being sick. And even oversize is bad, the girls in this video were okey and they all looked stunning, but we have to stop turning a blind eye to these extremes, too skinny or too fat. Hopefully, in time Korea will open to the idea that humans, especially girls, can look beautiful, no, they are beautiful even if they are over 50. I'm proud with my size, I'm 53-54 kg and with my height(1,64) I think it's okey.

[@ttalgireuluyu]

[@faire7410]

930ygs ygs no you’re actually not You probably so weak and don’t have any muscles 40kg for 160cm girl is not healthy at all And it’s medically classified as underweight

[@Autumnea]

When your body type is like that it's okey, I was talking about those who tend to over do things to keep their weight under 50 and those that are eating too much for their own good. I'm trying to keep myself on the floating line, I was always too skinny when I was young, and as you, people thought I was underweight, but that's the way I was. I keep an eye on my weight because I know I tend to eat alot of fast-food as I am studying or I'm busy most of the time and I don't have time to cook for myself, but when I see I'm gaining weight, I start to not feel so good, physically speaking and tend to avoid fast food for a while. It's all about limits and a bit of attention, no one is perfect and it's hard to keep a desirable figure these days ,due to the food industry and so on, but we should try our best ^^ Each of us has a body type, some gain weight faster some don't, but each type has it's own way of keeping track of their health. I talked about extremes because with this new wave, skinny/too skinny tends to be criticised and overweight it's started to be praised. As much as I agree with embrace yourself and so on and live as you feel fit, in my opinion, this new wave is ecouraging people to eat regardless of their weight. I get the idea of this movement, that of placing at the same level the average/normal body type with the model/skinny type, but in some way it ended up encouraging the "overweight" problem. Idk, if I'm making any sense, there's a lot to talk about and there is no balck and white, there are n shade of grey, the whole situation being too complicated to be grasped in a comment, but I hope is at least a little bit understandable.

I have a similar problem here in NYC. I wear size 16 in jeans because I have a large butt and thighs to match, but my stomach isn't large. So Jean's and pants made in my size usually have extra fabric in the stomach area for a body part that isn't there. They made for someone who is round. Plus size doesn't always mean round. We are shaped differently. People who are very small also has this problem here where jeans are cut to fit the "ideal" body shape. You ladies are beautiful and health is always the top priority.

If they don’t develop these things because their obese ( emphasis on obese and I meant the American definition of obese cause those freaking kpop idols are sticks) then go ahead and do whatever you want but you can’t deny the fact that obesity can cause lots of problems to your health. So while it’s great that they love their body as it is hopefully it’s not causing them problems.
