you're right but that's for dancers specifically, I think. The one for the average woman in Korea would be your height in cm minus 115.

[@noimnotakpoppfpsheacy2526]

Literally 30% or more of Americans are overweight which clearly affects the average to be in a heavier direction. If you actually want a more realistic "normal heathy" average comparison, then use countries that weren't conquered by fast food capitalism.

That's not an exact equation though. There are idols under 150cm and none weights less than 30kg. The usual rule is that you have to weight less than 50/45kg depending on the company etc EDITS: some corrections

@@MadaraUchiha... actually, society pressure is forcing them...there's just one ideal body type, and when you don't have this body type, you are judged by everyone else I hear judgments myself, like "you should eat less", "you look fat, I know a nutritionist", "you look ugly in these clothes, you should lose some weight" , etc etc. And I hear them almost everyday...

[@ClakyNotReversed]

For the BMI chart, we do a simplification (I'm a nursing student) , but it's valid only for women, because for men the numbers are a little more uneven. it's your height in cm minus 110 with the result in kilos . So, basically, kpop companies do the same, but they remove 10 kilos more, which is A LOT, because if you're 170cm (like me), by your BMI you should be 60kg (and I'm 58kg so I'm okay). But if you arrive at 50/48kg you are not in your perfect BMI anymore, you're in the "underweight" category. They can't play like that an give these numbers as truth to people Edit: it seems that my comment got a lot more attention than I expected and there are few confused people, so I'll try to explain here in a less confusing way possible. The official formula for BMI is BMI = kg/m2 , which gives you the number on the BMI chart ( you can check for yourselves what your own number means), not the weight, it just says XX number= over/underweight or normal weight etc.... BUT there are other factors to consider. For example, if a person does sports and has a lot of muscle mass, that person can't rely on the BMI chart alone, that's why, if you go to a dietitian, they will not only calculate your BMI, but they will also calculate your fat mass, your muscle mass, etc... So don't rely on the BMI alone! My comment wes mainly to debunk this new "idol perfect weight" , sort of... Anyway, if you think you need a dietician, don't hesitate to go to one, don't follow a diet by yourself, because the dietician will make you a specialized diet for YOU, to boost your metabolism if it's low, to increase your muscle mass if it's low, etc etc... It's really personalized and even if you don't have to lose or gain weight, I think going to a dietician is a good way to stay healthy and have a healthy diet personalized for yourself.... One last thing I'd like to add... Diet doesn't mean dieting to lose weight... Diet means following a nutrition plan (called "diet") that will be good for your physical and mental health. It's basically your eating habits. Example: chickens have a diet consisting of leafy greens, cooked beans, corn, non-sugary cereals and grains, berries, apples and most other fruits and vegetables etc.. it doesn't mean chickens are trying to lose weight, it just mean that this is what they eat! ☺️ I wish a nice day/night to everyone and thank you for liking my comment in so many! ☺️

He’s the only one in the family that says positive things about my weight. He doesn’t ignore or lie about it cus yes I did gain weight but he only says nice/funny things. I love him so much ❤️

[@sparkle_dream]

I love the facts that you don’t take the word fat as an insult. People tell me you’re fat but beautiful like WHAT those two have nothing to do with each other. I‘m 5‘7| 1,69 and weight 1,55 lbs/ 70,4kg I think that’s correct idk we use kg and cm here in german. I know I am a bit chubby but for my height that’s completely fine (I also work out regularly) and people need to understand that being fat isn’t a insult it’s a fact but it shouldn’t be seen in a negative context there are so many beautiful people on the heavier spectrum 🫶🏻

It doesn't apply to us. Koreans have narrower bone structure which makes unhealthy for them to gain weight rather than people with broad bone structure.

[@LadyVineXIII]

@മീൻ carrey Although I do grant you that most Koreans seem to be of a more slender build, not all Koreans fit that description. You are also not accounting for mixed race and non-Korean individuals who are being held to the same standards regardless of their build type. Humans are individuals who fluctuate regularly through weight ranges that are affected by a variety of factors that include a lot more than just diet and exercise. Even the type of exercise can affect your weight in different ways depending on how and where you build muscle.

[@lydia8526]
