Recent Gaeul (IVE) pics from Dolce & Gabbana event.

She's not Wonyoung level skinny obviously, but her body is pretty decent. I like her legs (calves to be specific) - they definitely make her stand out among kpop idols, where majority of the girls have sort of bulky lower body.

Gaeul has one of the most punchable faces I've ever seen, and her calves are nothing special.

On the plus side, Lisa's arms and waist have actually been looking acceptable recently. Let's hope she keeps this up. I assume being on tour and performing for multiple hours a week is what has caused her recent weight loss.

I remember when she first debuted and I loved her body. Since seeing fancams of Money, there’s a lot of mass-appeal sexiness that she’s trying to exude (twerking etc). Her thighs have filled out and it’s kind of sad to see, because she loses her visual impact and tone. At the Bulgari event, she could have been stunning at her lower weights in that dress which would have highlighted her collarbones and shoulders, and I’m so disappointed because there was potential. Meanwhile, the rest of the group has been losing weight and adhering to a bit of a classier image.

I completely agree, I got immersed into kpop because Lisa in Playing With Fire was such an inspiration for me, she was stunning back in 2016/17/18... But since her solo debut I've lost the admires I've been feeling towards her, I used to follow her insta to watch her photos and how clothes looked on her, her body dancing, etc but it became boring and non-inspiring at all, as well as the rest of the group, or maybe I'm maturing and getting so tired of the kpop industry . She is a great dancer but she gained weight on her legs and she looks heavy while performing. Also, her weight tends to flow according to the moment, which sometimes confuses me, it is also what happens with Rosé although lately, she is the one who seems to stabilize the thinnest of the group. Jisoo didn't change that much, she keeps in the same thin shape but she has never been SG skinny. Finally, I'm not even going to talk about Jennie, she never kept an SG skinny body type, and it only worsen, especially in the last months. She has received criticism for the multiple failures on the tour, in the videos she did not put much effort on stage, and when she published a vlog on YT she was eating mostly junk food. She has also been filming the new series The Idol and attending various events wearing pretty well-known dresses, she could have dressed them elegantly having lost even a bit of weight but that didn't happen.

((her scenes in The Idol are mostly sexualized and it's been fun to see the kpopers being scared and offended. I wonder if she regretted signing the contract for the series))

This might be an unpopular opinion but I think Wonyoung gaining a bit isn’t anything to worry about.

These are fan/journalist pictures of her yesterday from that MiuMiu post. She looks just as lovely as she usually does.

There were times where I felt she seemed… exhausted? Puffy face, balding spots on her scalp, somewhat lethargic when performing. I understand the concerns from fans, not about her “being too skinny”, but rather her energy and health.

She seems very calculated with her actions which is understandable considering the criticism she faces for every little thing she does. Her schedule is extremely intense and it seems like she can never catch a break.

I saw her perform with her group recently at a festival and she is really beautiful in person. They performed last year at the same festival, and her energy really seems to have changed for the better. She also seems to have toned down on the fillers and “strong” makeup, and is generally more fun to watch perform these days.

Not to be too parasocial, but I do have a soft spot for her as well. It’s clear she is aware of how to manage herself, so I hope nothing but the best for her as a fan.

While I agree with you, I can't help but feel a bit sad regarding her gain. She looks so ordinary and uninspiring now. Especially her arms.

For example:

vs before:

 

[watercr0utons]

can’t believe she gained and caved to the pressure. I’m so disappointed.

Lisa's thighs still have a long way to go, unfortunately. Notice how in all these photos, they are all upper body shots or her thighs are fully covered. Hopefully she can get back to her 2016-2019 weight, but I don't think she will. A few months ago, she said she was actually wanting to GAIN weight (6:10 in the video).
Her thighs at the moment:

Who has nice calves then?

Tbh I haven't seen much calf thinspo in kpop, most girls have pretty stocky legs, even at lower bmi. And very rounded calves. While what I'm looking for is something like this:

In kpop I kind of liked those three:

1. Sooyoung

2. Sowon

3. Last year's Wonyoung

And Gaeul seems to have pretty lean legs - especially compared to the rest of the girls. Imo she's on the same level as NJ Danielle. Face aside, she has potential. Her calves look lean even next to Wonyoung's:

I always thought Gaeul has the biggest potential to be on Wonyoung's level out of all of the other girls. There are moments where she sticks out to me but she's obviously not SG skinny yet.

Notice how big almost everyone's thighs look next to Wonyoung's. And this was also before Liz gained weight.

I have had a soft spot for Gauel. She is by far the shortest in the group, but at least she tries to manage herself, unlike Liz especially. Ive are overall very tall for Kpop idols, except for Gauel. The girls' heights:
Yujin= 173cm (5'8")
Wonyoung= 173cm (5'8")
Liz= 170cm (5'7")
Rei= 170cm (5'7")
Leeseo= 166cm (5'5") (Note that Leeseo's profile height was taken around debut when she was only fourteen and she has likely grown since then)
Gauel=164cm (5'4.5")

If Gauel slims down she will look taller and fit in better with the rest of Ive height-wise, and of course she would look so much more beautiful. I'm really hoping she can do that for the group's next release.

Yup. She's basically 5kg away from having a great body.

Here's more of her pics, some with Wonyoung, to show her potential:

The only thing that is working against her is her height and large head - she obviously won't achieve supermodel body with those but she can look decent. Let's not forget how weightloss transformed Rose, from average to outstanding:

I saw Jennie’s Coachella performance like… girl you aren’t even trying. How do you get arguably one of the biggest music platforms out there and not even try? A lesson to not get lazy maybe

Wonyoung on Instagram today

I'm guessing she's aware that people have been commenting on her weight gain.

(Not to get into the 'calves' discourse going on previously but this is, personally, my idea of ideal calves.)

Those photos are kind of on the idealistic side.

Her body in most recent pics (June 17th) looks a bit different:

 

[eveofmiu]

To be quite honest, I find myself agreeing with @amorlia.

There are many different ways in which one can achieve the skinny physique, yet not all of them are necessarily healthy or even sustainable in the long run. I'm guessing Wonyoung took a quick, but unhealthy route to weight loss at first and it left her in an awful state of both body and mind.

The weight gain is obvious, netizens have taken notice of it as well. They speculate that it's about 5 kg and are praising Wonyoung for it, saying she looks healthier and more lively.

Don't get me wrong, it is lovely to see Wonyoung getting approved and admired by so many. The girl definitely deserves the praise; she is ambitious, calculated and a hard worker despite all of the hate she has got during her career. However, it is also disappointing to only see her being flattered when it comes to her changing her body and appealing to the masses. I wish people would recognise Wonyoung's hard work and talent, as well as the fact that one can be skinny and healthy at the same time.

I must admit, the weight gain is very disappointing. She doesn't even stand out while being stood next to her members anymore... Hopefully, she gets right back on track in a healthier and more sustainable way. I'd really hate to see her remain so average, especially considering the amount of potential she has.

Rosé at the Rimowa Seit 1898 opening party.

She looks amazing

 

[sweetpinkribbons]

twice’s sana is looking really good these days. i knew she must be getting skinny when people started complaining about it on twitter.

i went to their recent tour and she looked quite small in person. she’s def becoming inspiration material, especially her legs. she’s a few pounds off of being perfect. she looks great tho considering how she used to look… and in contrast with the other members who look… well… unfortunate these days.

how she used to look:
