K-pop Singers

In April, some performance photos of Yuna (Itzy main vocalist) alarmed fans over her visible ribs but personally, while her body is on the slimmer side, I defintiely wouldn't consider her alarming. Most recent stats put her at a BMI of 15.9 (46 kg, 170 cm) which is definitely low but not extreme. I think the performance photos exaggerated her ribs while in reality she's within the industry average.

I think she looks great, even more so with the weight loss (she used to have slightly thick legs but seems to have worked on that.) Honestly I wish bodies like Yuna's were the industry average 4th gen is dragging the bar to the floor when it comes to body maintenance, most groups don't even have one girl I would consider skinny. It makes sense since they are trying to appeal to a """body positive""" audience, but man I miss the days of SNSD, Sunmi and After School! There are a few groups who still maintain an overall skinny aesthetic (WJSN, fromis_9, Cherry Bullet on a good day lol) but most of them and especially the big ones seem like they're not even trying.

love these recent photos of Minnie (g-iddle) that appeared as a suggestion on my Instagram

Speaking of Yuna, I noticed recently that Ryujin, also from Itzy, has lost a noticeable amount of weight. I remember when Wannabe was released a lot of people commented on her thighs so it's not really surprising she wanted to lose some weight.
Before:

After:

If you look at other photos you can really see the difference in her face, she looks more noticeable now.

Yuna’s arms and waist have been looking good.

After winning Queendom2, they've been getting a little more traction, and with it some new criticism. As of late, Bona has been getting comments about being "sickly looking". I, for one, love her arms!

I'd personally disagree with her being "within the industry average," as the industry average has taken a turn towards heavier in the past couple of years. Any BMI in the 15's is a nice outlier, IMHO.

Some of my favourite K-pop skinnies as of late! In order: WJSN Seola, Cherry Bullet May and WJSN Yeoreum.

Has anyone heard of this new girl group NewJeans? I’ll admit I was worried at first because of the standard for most girl groups being… low to say the least. But I was pleasantly surprised by the potential of some of the girls. Most are very young so they probably will lose baby fat (or gain width )with age but one can hope they stay on the right track and the rest slim down as they get into their late teens and 20’s. I like that they’re not styled super maximalistically like most 4th Gen groups either.

Danielle particularly caught my attention (no pun intended) I love her waist especially. Although I hope it's not just skinny because she's young and will inevitably gain as she gets older type of skinny.


Looking forward to seeing more of them, their debut has been mostly positive from what I've seen.

I think they’re cute but their ages creep me out. The youngest one was born in 2008 and the oldest 2004 I think. A few of them are acceptably thin and they’re all pretty cute and refreshingly non-plastic but I can’t banish the thought that their performances look like middle school talent shows. I’m sure in a few years they’ll be an impressive group but they’re babies for Christ’s sake. I wonder what their parents think.

Ha I’m aware I sound like an angry boomer but I really do think 14 is too young to be exposed to an industry as infamously corrupt as the Kpop industry.

Wonyoung recently I love how her back looks in the last picture

Wonyoung recently I love how her back looks in the last picture

Really love Wonyoung for holding down the fort when it comes to k-pop body standards. I thought she looked great in this performance of After Like:

I really hope Starship doesn't push her to gain weight if/when IVE gain more international publicity. It's happened with both Twice and Blackpink, both of whom look incredibly underwhelming in their respective comebacks recently. I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but god I miss when idols would hustle around comeback time and you could guess when a comeback was in the works because they would show up in the public eye looking extra thin (and sometimes with new hair color).

 

[levidedelavie]

SNSD with their latest comeback is still somewhat maintaining the standard, especially Taeyeon. She always stays pretty slim even when she doesn't have many schedules, but she lost weight for this cb and is looking really good lately.

Also, some Yooa updates because she always looks lovely

Does anyone have any idea what her stats actually are? I’ve seen 5’7” and 5’8”, but the weight consensus seems to be 103lbs regardless of height. She does look pretty tall for a kpop star, so I’d buy 5’8”.

Forewarning: this is a drunk, lazy reply.

The thinner you are, the taller you look, so she may not be as tall in real life as websites claim.

I’d normally agree, but (correct me if I’m wrong) she seems to be styled in flats while in a group, and still looks much taller than the other members. SNSD did similar tricks with Sooyoung—have her in flat shoes while all the other girls were in heels.

Then again, Wonyoung doesn’t look nearly as tall as Sooyoung, and Sooyoung is definitely 5’8”, so

I have a hard time with Rose. I don’t particularly like her face (I don’t think she’s ugly, I just don’t see the appeal) but her body just seems soft to me. Like, I know she’s very thin, and definitely SG skinny, but it’s like her bone structure is so slight that her low weight doesn’t really register as impressive.

I feel like I’m not making much sense here, and I’m sorry for that, but I’ve always seen her as skinny-fat regardless of her stats.

NewJeans Danielle is noticeably the thinnest member and I think she has tons of potential, though she looks fantastic already. Also love how natural the whole group’s faces look compared to a lot of other groups
