A friend once said: those 5 last kgs everyone's always trying to lose are "happy kilo's". They're the piece of cake you have celebrating a birthday, they're the extra drink you have going out with friends, they're the meal your mom prepares when the family unites again. If you spend all your time stressing over that unattainable weight, you forget to enjoy life.

@@howardlam6181 You don't understand what a beauty contest is, isn't it?? Beauty contest judgments include only 30% of contestants superficial beauty while the rest 70 % is about their cognitive thinking,mental abilities,real life problem solving,smart, empathetic,MOST IMPORTANT IS THEIR CONFIDENCE and how they deal with situations.These are the traits which have the most weightage for a national or international level of beauty contest.Same goes for the selection of Miss Universe,Miss World,etc That's why the most beautiful women can never win a beauty contest unless or until they have all the othe traits in them.Thats why she won.If u don't know the criteria of judgement of beauty contests then why don't u just shut up.

[@tigergreg8]

The strange thing about this is, she was picked to represent Korea, and the judges all down the line knew exactly who and what they were dealing with. What I mean is, if she isn't the best representation of Korea, then why did the majority, or all of the judges feel she was. It seems as though the competition doesn't agree with the so-called beauty standards of Korea. She's very pretty, obviously very intelligent and well spoken, but she wouldn't have been chosen if she didn't have all the standards in order. It's the public in general that have no clue what is right, and what is wrong. Thank goodness she won, and is trying to make a difference. It almost makes me feel as though the pageant wants her to make a difference, and help those who follow her. Her parents have every reason to be extremely proud of her. They raised a daughter who cries, not for herself, but for the thoughts and feelings of her parents. That is the mark of a person with a great Spirit about her. I wish her the best.

[@pcckwy]

It has more to do with cyber bullying in Korea. It's a real problem and has caused celebrities to commit suicide.

[@hannibalholmes7876]

Agree except for the part with crying about her patents' emotions. I don't think that that necessarily makes her a better person.

[@byurackobamathelightning8230]

It is because the judges don’t represent Koreans. Miss Korea contest has had unfair judge issues from late 90’s. It has been revealed that some judges of the contest got bribe by the participants. At the same time, this contest is now out of the mind of Koreans. For that reason there are no TV stars who are Miss Korea for the last ten years. Moreover, recently Miss Korea lost a right to select Miss Universe participants of Korea because Miss Universe decided that Miss Korea is inappropriate.

[@md-gd3od]

Yes. You're right. Her critics are only part of the view, not the majority. Asian boss must not make a generalization error.

I've always felt so bad to be 168 and 58kg. I got body dysmorphia and that's mostly because of toxic beauty standard. I feel so fat even though I have healthy weight. I am still fighting.

Am I the only one not surprised when she said "chocolates and candies"? because those junk food essentially make people gain weight. Knowing how toxic the beauty/peagent industry is when it comes setting ridiculous standards such as weight should be below 49kg while being 5'8", not surprised they're banning the most unhealthiest food that could easily contribute to weight gain.

[@Nogu3]

I had a similar experience actually, though I admit I am a man and its probably nowhere near as absurd as her situation. I grew up in the countryside, Naju specifically where I used to wrestle a lot as a kid. In Korea we have a traditional form of martial arts called ssireum, or Korean folk wrestling, which is divided by weight divisions. I am part of the Baekdu division, the largest of combatants, under 160kg to be specific. When I went to Seoul for the first time, to see family there, I remember people gave me this "ugly look" like I was somehow doing something wrong just by existing. People would ask me constantly if "I needed to sit down" because of my size or if I "didn't like exercise." My entire life until that point was nothing but training, sweat and struggle, making my body and heart strong to survive in the ring, because I had a personal connection with Ssireum. It made me feel strong, relying only on myself, trusting my own ability and courage to win a fight as who I was. Hearing so much judgemental and harsh words from people who never understood or cared to ask eventually broke me, and I quit ssireum altogether. Of course I am much grown up, but I never returned to Ssireum, because I felt like my own people judged me without caring to even ask. During high school I got bullied for being "fat" as well, despite the fact I would say I was decently sturdy and strong, because I didn't fit in or look like the skinny, cool kpop idols and stuff. It hurt. Not because nobody cared to understand me, but because I wanted to he strong for them, for my family and my hometown, to be strong and bring them victory, but those who I fought for were the ones that struck me down.

​@@penguino3480I have to differ, as the beauty standards have already changed in HK. 45kilos for 160 is not called fat in HK. Unless you are sort of skinny fat something that is quite common in mainland as some girls don't eat but don't do any sort of physical activity so they end of with weak frame and just gain fat in some areas over the years while maintaining skinny legs (in my opinion not a great look). But they don't weight much as they have very small frame and little muscle. Nowadays beauty standards in HK are more toward a toned body regardless of your height and weight. This was influenced heavily by the west of course.

this is not even fat-shaming anymore this is healthy weight-shaming

[@idkwtvr4844]

I read "healthy weight-shaming" as "weight-shaming that is healthy" instead of "weight-shaming healthy people" so I was really confused for a bit lol

She deserves to represent Korea as Miss Korea! She's honest, polite and humorous, she doesn't have a fake 'kind, generous, talented and perfect' mask like other participants. She can say her insecurities out publicly, its not a thing normal people can do.

Nah. Everyone has a facade in order to be "likeable". But wtf, she is not fat at all. What is wrong with shitty mouths on Asians about weight!? They are so mf-ing dumb. I am an Asian, and i am an actual whale. Imagine the fat shaming i get in the slightest opportunity these people can find. Makes my blood boil.
