What's Really Happening With IVE's WonYoung

[@horses4555]

As someone with an ED, I can tell you without a doubt that’s not a normal weight loss or healthy one, you just don’t get that thin at that age as a woman unless you are sick or just aren’t eating. I hope she takes care of herself soon. Not eating can lead to so many health complications such as kidney failure.

And yes, it becomes obsessive when you have to see hundreds of thousands of comments on social media on every post nagging only about her appearance. she hasn’t spoken about it, and might not want to, and we have to respect that.

I didn't pay attention to Wonyoung in IZONE but I definitely noticed how under weight she was during IVE's debut, unfortunately it's gotten a lot worse since then. For so long people bringing up her weight were basically told to shut up but something has to be said because being so thin shouldn't be an ideal because it's dangerous for people's health. It was scary seeing so many comments praising her figure as "body goals". I'm glad people are finally starting to wake up. I wonder if Korean fans are worried or do they still think she's "body goals"?

[@eyexan6021]

There's two sides to body weight. 1. Being overweight. 2 Being underweight. Often with overweight individuals it is common to point out and criticise(As it doesn't fit beauty standards). The thing however is its significantly more dangerous to be underweight than it is to be a bit overweight. So people who actually end up pointing out someone being underweight it gets interpreted as jealousy. But its not, it's instinct to notice it. To try and help someone when their health is so visually concerning. There is no doubt she gets dizzy and has fainted due to it, who knows what other symptoms she's also going through. We live in a sensitive world but when it comes to health. Gentle bluntness is what's needed.

I’ve commented this before but I’m saying it again: I was severely underweight a few years a go (got hospitalised for months) and looked nowhere near as thin as Wonyoung does Of course it’s a bit different for everyone but she really lost a lot of weight and I’m wondering how she can even dance like this (I couldn’t even walk a flight of stairs without feeling like dying) I really love her and in my opinion it’s just irresponsible of the company to let her dance like this Im not saying she has an ED (not a typical one at least as she has always eaten in front of the camera/in public without a problem) but it’s a fact that she lost a lot of weight and what ever the reason is this is concerning Also I am kinda jealous of her body but that’s just me and my sick mind because I know now what it takes to keep your body weight that low

[@blarfroer8066]

ED and not eating are not necessarily connected. She might eat in front of the camera because she knows that it's expected and then not eat for days behind the scenes. Also, there's another ED called bulimia.

[@moonlitsunwoo]

@@blarfroer8066 bulimia isn’t related to being underweight (just anorexia) and after binging and purging for a while your teeth get bad (which isn’t the case with wonyoung) So either she has an atypical ED or she could have a medical condition that leads to weight loss like hyperthyroidism - she needs medical help either way

@@blarfroer8066 yup this is so true. there’s even “jokes” surrounding these incidents in the kpop industry, like for an idols birthday they will present a cake for a celebration, which always ends up miraculously falling over onto the floor becoming inedible. this is because idols can’t gain weight over a certain limit or they will be punished, so they would rather pretend in front of their fans that they dropped the cake instead of eating it. this is such a common thing that it’s widely known now. there’s also so many other cases of idols being called out for pretending to eat something when it was obvious they hadn’t even taken a bite of whatever it was they were showing on camera. this is so normalized, and if you research about kpop trainees and idols diets it’s actually insane how restrictive it is. they basically eat nothing everyday.

[@multifan6679]

Just because you eat infront of the camera doesn't mean you can not have anorexia nervosa...Jeanette Mcurdy for example also had an ED and still had to eat infront of the camera, because her character Sam loved food (especially those chicken wings. Obviously the biggest night mare for everyone with this type of ED). She also spoke about this on her podcast and in her interviews

[@onceaonceforeveraonce523]

She has been in industry since she was 14 and since that time she has always been pressurised to fit beauty standards and it’s sad she has been going through this since she was a child. She is alarmingly skinny and people who say we are body shaming her we are not her weight loss is really concerning especially considering the fact that she is still young.

[@true282]

Trigger warning ⚠️ I was diagnosed with an ED at her age due to my weight, and she’s far smaller than I was. I’m also tall. I think we’re around the same height. If her fans cared they’d get her help. Her health will deteriorate to the point where performing will destroy her.

[@artlover4997]

It's not about jealousy, she is undoubtedly stunning but it is about the fact that she is at a very unhealthy weight and people are simply not blind and can see what is happening right in front of them. She is also a public figure with strong influence on young girls and teens and is already being seen as the IT girl; and the amount of young girls on social media that have said they want her body, want to look like her or loose as much weight as her proves her strong influence. Responsibility comes with fame and personally I think people should not come for her but the company who are most likely forcing her to do these extreme diets and ignoring their own employees health and wellbeing.

[@hi-fs6jb]

Weight loss just doesn’t mean your underweight!!! It means you’ll lose your period, it means you experience hair loss which she has experienced in the past, it means decreased immune function, it means growth development issues, and it also means mental issues and many more. Wonyoung was just a teenager a few months ago so I hope the path she’s sadly going down in won’t have an affect long term.

As someone who has been thin like a skeleton before, I get concerned to see others who look like that too. I've been constantly sick from extreme thinness and it was not a good time. I hope Wonyong takes care of herself and doesn't let the pressure get to her. These knetz don't realize that being extremely thin(the unhealthy kind) can make you very weak and later on can't do anything. We aren't jealous, no one wants to be like that at all. She's still young and has a bright future ahead of her and if she ends up getting sick, then what would the knetz say? If these were true fans, they would be concerned for her

As someone who has commented on wonyoung’s body in the past, i can say for myself it was out of concern like most of her fans. There’s nothing wrong with being skinny, but to be that thin at her young age is going to severely damage her health which should be more concerning than being skinny which i think has always been in a problem in Korean beauty standards. I think probably the stress of being an idol, being a MC and trying to maintain a small figure are the main reasons as to why she’s so underweight in my opinion. Hopefully, she isn’t too mentally affected by any of this and gains a little bit of healthy weight for the future.

People have to realize that this is largely due to people who are hating on her, don't even start with "people who are dismissing the issue". We glorify her for so much more things other than her body because this girl already gets so much hate, what else can us fans do. The compliment on her body with those long pants reffering to sailor moon in that one post was appropriate since it wasn't a picture that showed wonyoung's extreme weight loss. those pants were covering up and her proportions were genuinely beautiful. i didn't see what the problem was. what should be addressed however is the amount of stress this poor girl has gone through because of people's jealousy and hatred. it's come up to the point where she's cried in a fansign and has revealed that she hasn't been feeling well to the point of losing her appetite. this isn't something wonyoung is pushing on herself which you've failed to addressed too. this is quite literally the after effect of all those harsh critisicms she's gotten and you've also failed to drive the point through.

For the people who hate her for gaining and losing weight are the jealous one but the ones that are genuinely worried about her weight lost are actually worried. So what if idols gain a bit of weight, at least they're eating healthy but losing a lot weight is very concerning because she could collapse at any moment from overworking. It's very sad that there are these beauty standers that you need to be really skinny to look like an idol.

The worries are 100% valid, the people who are praising her body as THE beauty standard and saying concerns are out of jealousy are only contributing to the problem. You can't tell me that at 6:08 if you cropped her head out that her arms and wrists don't look like Eugenia Cooney's.... coming from someone who is also underweight (but actively trying to gain weight) this is not healthy and it's a wonder she hasn't collapsed or been hospitalized with her current schedules. I'd bet money that she hasn't had her period in months if not years (I also have amenorrhea) and that might effect her later in life as well. It's okay to praise her beauty, she's gorgeous and there's not denying that but can people please stop praising her body (that's not body shaming) because all Wonyoung has known since she was 13 and her brain was still developing was everyone talking about her visuals and her body.

[@kavya.gopinathan]

In my opinion, I am genuinely concerned for Wonyoung. Although I'm younger than Wonyoung I feel like she is so conscious of her looks and figure because she was only complimented back when she was in IZ*ONE. If I was a 13-year-old and most people praised my visuals more than my talent and will be disappointed if I don't fit the standards I would grow up to be very conscious about my visuals because I will think that I'm here because of my visuals, not my talent. So it's the industry's fault for debuting such young idols, as a 15-year old I would love to debut as an idol but when I'm mature enough to handle the pressure. I seriously don't know why the fuck the industry is exploiting literal children for the sake of more audience. You can get the same audience by debuting 20-year-olds-, like Irene, Jin, Solar, Jay B, Mark Tuan, Jackson, Nayeon Moonbyul, Dara, and Park Bom. They debuted at a 'late' age but got many fans and a very huge audience. *AGE DOESNT MATTER STOP EXPLOITING LITERAL KIDS* Also if Wonyoung is reading this (which is 1 in a billion) then I want to say, *I love your singing, I love your dancing, I love your stage presence. I LOVE YOU FOR YOUR TALENT, and I LOVE YOU SO MUCH*, even tho I live miles away from Korea I want to give you a virtual hug so badly, stay safe.

I think more worrying than her ribs poking out at 2:09 is her spine. You can count her bones there and she's not even in a position that might make them poke out more!

[@Lovelovelove2828]

Something that really annoys me is when people will say they come from a place of concern then call her “skin and bones” or a “skeleton” how is saying any of that going to help her it’s okay to be worried and not skinny shame her

[@onceaonceforeveraonce523]

Ikr being concerned is different and straight up skinny shaming is different. You can show your concern without calling her names.

[@purpleeyebrows19]

It won't. These are the same ppl that criticise others for praising wonyoung's body but will then go on to talk about in excruciating detail how skinny her legs are. They're still analysing and gawking at her appearance, I feel like this situation needs to be treated with the nuance it deserves. Unfortunately it seems that very few fans has that...

[@im_a_messy_kid]

@@purpleeyebrows19 I honestly feel like we should just stop talking about her body all together because we don't know how she would take it

[@OpossumOnTheMoon]

It’s weird how people get mad at her when the whole Kpop industry promotes eating disorders and forces them on the idols.

[@James.576]

Yeah, shes scarily thin to me, wish the best for her in whatever situation shes going through.

[@jia7969]

She's around the same weight as me , But I'm genuinely concerned because she's really tall :( Wony please be okay 💖🐰 Also, Please don't call her names such as "skin n bones " "skeleton" it still counts as body shaming! Let's hope she's healthy ^_^

[@abigaillrodriguez6400]

People NEED to stop talking about people’s bodies! Even if they’re praising her. I hope she’ll be more healthy. I know for a long time I was underweight for my height and she’s thinner than me.

[@iambluey.]

At this point, I feel like Starship is turning Wonyoung into an AI-doll and it's kinda creepy.

[@prophecy4270]

It’s disgusting for me tbh. I’ve seen her hands and her wrist and literally there is no meat there which is weird. Her veins are literally popping out and not in a good way

[@LeeKnowsCatss]

Some effects of extreme weight loss include dehydration, fatigue, hair loss, loss of bone density, loss of period (amenorrhea)... the list goes on. Not to mention the mental toll as well. This is a very serious issue and her company needs to take action NOW #SaveWonyoung

[@onyx.lvjyl0ver]

An idol or anyone shouldn’t have to be skinny to be loved or praised let’s take jennie kin for an example not in one photo or dance have I seen her ribs/bones showing yet she still gets praised

[@alicesanderson1459]

Before I clicked the clip I was like “how skinny she could be to make people worried” and damn .. those legs are extreme!

[@ha-yoonkim3199]

The picture was when wonyoung was 14 or 13 or smth now she is 18 her face could change and her lips could become bigger

[@Gavamps]

The people who said that we are jealous of wonyoung body and weight, your wrong.. wonyoung is worringly skinny she might pass or faint to the point where she has to be in hiatus for a long time, + her health could be at serious risk, starship ent needs to monitor their idols health this is a serious matter

[@annikareese5776]

But did she faint?

[@chwenotchu]

''they seem to trash her completely or praise her to the heavens" THIS.

[@Ayyyyaaaaa1]

Ngl, I’ve never been worried about a celebrity or a kpop idol but this is seriously getting out of hand as a trainee at starshipe has admitted ‘Wonyoung only eats a cucumber a day until she collapses, Honestly, when I heard that I felt like crying for her but we don’t know if she wants to look like that or is she being forced by her company? Well if she is being forced by her company she should just leave the company it’s easy and a lot of companies would accept wonyoung right away since she is really talented and beautiful and I hope If she does really leave I hope the other company well treat her well and keep her healthy Although another thing I’ve heard is ‘Wonyoung likes the the fame attention and the money, So what I’m trying to say is if she isn’t being forced by her company and if that is true then is she liking the attention? If yes, then I’m 100% sure that she’ll try to lose more weight to get more attention And for some of you who don’t know she is under 45kg and she is 173cm that means she should weight more than 44-41kg (Not body shaming I’m just worried).

[@hnyuq4049]

tbh i don’t that she eats a cucumber a day cuz if she did, wouldn’t she be way skinnier? and how is she even being able to function if that was true?

[@Ayyyyaaaaa1]

@@hnyuq4049 well I’m also like you I just said what I’ve heard that’s it idk if it’s true and she already looks like a stick how skinnier do you expect her to be?

[@lavienrosewon8811]

Stop lie wonyoung admit or twisted the words of wonyoung, wonyoung revelead she wish stay student and get normal childhood as kid in izone interview.The kpop stans should spread rumors ,wonyoung love the fame no wonyoung wish built her carrer as idol since her dream job was lawyer no kpop idol..she is born in rich family..she can get everything but she is overworked by starship. She was casted in street also wonyoung is ambitious person and learn new things in her life.

[@asserm.8047]

"she may weigh the same but her being taller makes her look optically skinnier" man, get someone to revise your script. people already dont know anything about health, theyre gonna think its okay to have the weight of a 150cm person while being 180cm or some shit

[@snehadawla]

Her neck literature made my stomach sink.

[@torenvarela9340]

Some of these extreme fans need therapy. No wonder some Idols have mental breakdowns. Imagine trying to please your fans when some of the most vocal ones are legit psychopaths.

[@tjekker4274]

I have this friend who ive known for years, she has always been skinny so i wasnt really shocked by her appearance when i finally saw her again. The truth is she has a heart condition(i dont remember if it was dat or smt else but its some kinda chronicle illness)but she loses weight really easy while gaining weight is hard for her and ive struggled with the same. Also off topic but i would be beaten to death if i were to lose weight, if i skip out from eating lunch or smt i get yelled at, if i only take a little piece of chicken i get yelled at. I have experienced being underweight and that was because i was sick for a very long time(approximately 3weeks to a month) and didn't eat anything because i would just puke dat shit out. At that time i went to the grocery store with my moher and someone accused her of starving me when i didnt even have an appetite to begin with, now i face a similar problem where i keep losing my appetite again and again, i have some pants that stopped fitting well and just slide straight down, not only that but ive become severely insecure because since ive lost some weight my slight scoliosis has been becoming more and more visible, it is becoming better but i do everything to cover up

[@tjekker4274]

I dont expect anyone to read that

[@itsmethejaeger7563]

Glad u r getting better tho! Ur doing great

[@snsdkbopper7819]

Considering that the camera adds approximately 10lbs to the perception of one’s weight just makes you realize how extremely skinny current idols really are! Kpop girls looked much healthier & better during the era between 2012&2016 generally.

[@garawall]

They Are Malnutritioning My Ultimate Bias Almost To The Bone, :( It's Like They Don't Know That We Already Love Her In Iz'0#3 And Produce 48 And We Know The Difference Because Some Of Our Mates Succumbed To It You Were Already Perfect Dear WonYoung, I Pray For Your Well Being

[@anonnnymousthegreat]

I’m trying to figure what is actually considered being too thin in SK. Because i bet if she gained like 5lbs, netziens would start trippin over her her gaining weight. Netziens need to pick a struggle.

[@matchaabi3824]

Lol the people that says we're jealous because worrying of her health is the problem, they're the one who make this poor girl need to be Perfect all the time...

People are actually GENUINELY concerned about Wonyoung though, its affecting her dancing too

[@-sxyn5970]

the toxic korean beauty standards need to stop

[@haihanpeng8810]

i think it’s weird for people to fat shame idols then say they are unhealthy when they are skinny. It takes a lot of work to get to a body like that and she’s 18 barely an adult. it’s very natural for someone so young to look like that. So just let them be them selves

[@yukinomizuno9678]

2:13 I think her spine is actually scarier…

[@bartstarr6728]

Ultimately its the responsibility of her parents. As fans you can only do so much and you don't have all the information.

[@AINURRIZLINBINTIAZIZULMoe]

[@knightyyknight1494]

She is so thin I feel like if she got pushed down it would be over for her.

[@plague2488]

Well, Wonyoung is a beautiful girl, and no one can deny her beauty. Even the other members don’t seem as skinny as Wonyoung, Wonyoung has a reason to want to achieve having a slim body, and a pretty face with clear skin. If we take a look at Korean beauty standards, almost no one in the entire world can fit that long list of specific beauty standards you must fit to look beautiful in Korea. Even though the other members are fairly pretty girls as well, more people are going to have their eyes on Wonyoung because many people believe (which I can probably agree) that Wonyoung is one of the prettiest, if not the prettiest in IVE, and many people know that, and they have higher standards for her because of her beauty. I feel like if Korea would cool off on the beauty standards, especially regarding weight, everyone wouldn’t be underweight, and there wouldn’t be as many sui*ides in the Korea and there would be more births if a lot would stop in that country.

[@nikka8166]

omg, i really thought that i was the only one worried about her

[@WeirdStayz]

I’m scared for her she might be developing a eating disorder. It’s really concerning! I hope she is ok!

[@bunnyhandler]

I don't get why people keep saying "stop body shaming" No one is body shaming, people are just sharing their concerns. Especially when she's this skinny and her bones are showing is actually dangerous. stop supporting this by saying we're body shaming and stop motivating this, because it's whats having her continue to do this and she can get sick and it can be a life threatening situation. The fans are more disgusting then to what people are trying to say how unhealthy this is. She probably has an ED and y'all are over here telling us to shut up when she probably needs love and support by her fans. And remember having an ED can be unsafe and a struggle. But y'all are pretty much saying this is ok and think it's natural because we're "body shaming". Y'all learn one/two word and use it when it really don't needa be used. Please learn the difference between concern and body shame. It's a huge difference and y'all are acting to dumb to know that because y'all use it in ways it doesn't add up. It just shocks me on how y'all wanna stop the concerns so she can continue to do this?? I get people don't let out their concerns in the best and respectful way. There is a respectful way to say your concerns without having to bring skinny shame into this. Y'all aren't helping by saying it's body shaming. Would y'all really rather her be sick and die or actually spread awareness?? It's Better to say something then say nothing and pretend like everyone is cool when it's not until it's too late. People have a right to express their feelings, and if you don't like it, then just scroll. Simple 🙄

[@awclia]

i agree she’s skinny but i’ve seen people make jokes about this situation that’s what her fans are defending her from

[@Ms.Scorpio123]

For yall who don't understand why being concerned counts toward body shaming or hate is: A lot of you, when your talking about being "concerned" you sometimes make negative comments about their body or your "worrying" is just straight up commenting on her body. But you AND MANY OTHER "FANS" forget its not your place to comment on another's body, whether your body shaming or just generally concerned, it doesn't matter your. Your comments can still affect someone and their feelings. It doesn't matter if that wasn't your intention but that can still happen. So its best if you seriously just shut up about her body. Maybe talk about it with your friends in person or private messages but don't be posting it for the world to see, it's unnecessary and it doesn't concern you or me and if you were an actual fan who cares about the idols you would know that And believe it or not but sometimes your comment (even if your not saying anything mean) can actually count towards body shaming And I'm not replying to comments who are just completely wrong or misunderstood what I'm saying, but i will hopefully reply to comments who bring up good arguments. Anyway, carefully read what I saidbefore you start arguing blindly and say something stupid

[@latte544]

I'm honestly concerned about her health right now! Can some people stop saying that she's naturally this thin?! I'm a huge fan of Iz*one before and I don't remember her being this so skinny. I actually saw her latest fancam photo on Facebook and I was so shocked that I thought it was edited but unfortunately it wasn't. I will be honest, even though I'm a huge fan of Iz*one before I didn't became a fan of IVE. I'm a fan of Iz*one because of Chaeyeon, but that doesn't mean I don't know the other members. Won young is kinda already popular back then and not gonna lie even me a woman, I find myself staring longer at her photos than the other members, and if someone asked me who is the girl you know that are both beautiful and cute Wonyoung's name will be the first one that I will think of. So even though I'm a Chaeyeon stan I notice her a lot. That's why when I saw her photo a while ago I was so shocked and then feel concerned about her. I didn't see her a lot because I'm not a fan of her girl group now but that's the reason why I'm really so shocked! Cause from what I remembered even though she was skinny when she's still a member of Iz*one, she was NOT this thin!

[@wowiiu]

[@freyamamamia15]

@mystic bunny 🐇 yes not talking by about those who are concerned about her health. She’s clearly under a lot of pressure and receives a lot of hate, which is an indirect factor (along with other factors such as Korean beauty standards) to this weight loss

[@Jdkdudnemdodh]

Being concerned and worried about somebody health isn't hating them

[@abcdefghijkswife9188]

I thought people were over reacting when the first time they were concerned about her health but now I see there is something wrong she is actually really underweight..too underweight or too overweight is never healthy so I think fans are right at this point .she is still a teen and people praising her for her looks so often is a huge pressure

[@katet8639]

I'm thankful you mentioned the new y2k skinny trend because these couple of months, I've stared to hate how I look again, and I just wish to look skinny like those people. No matter how many others tell me, I'm fine the way I am, that thought just comes back. And I feel like EDs are now getting more noticeable and common, I see so many people nowadays struggle with it. So I'm worried about Wonyoung and everyone that also feels pressure. EDs are the worst, it never leaves your brain, even after recovering.
