1. I am going to be honest.. plastic surgery has become really toxic for me. When I see Lisa, Rose, Irene or another idol I feel so bad. I think that I should do PS like they did and I know I shouldn't think like that but there's nothing I can do about it 😭 I don't like my face but if they did it maybe I should do it too..

2. can we please normalize complimenting someone without mentioning their weight?
   so instead of " Wow she gained weight, she look healthy, body goals" or " Oh she lost weight thats so inspirational, she seems lighter and happier". we can say " I love her, she so beautiful" or " She's such an inspiration, i strive to be as happy as her". Please choose words carefully, in fact, being healthy doesn't have a certain look!

3. Wait I always get triggered when I see people hating on darker skin in general. Like bro, it's literally JUST SKIN. We ALL have it, no matter what color. Nothing is wrong with that, we're all still people. R*cism and c*lorism sucks 🗿
   I LOVE to see idol's real, unedited tan skin, it's beautiful.

4. My entire life, people keep saying that I should eat something because I am under weight, but it didn’t go to any extinct expect for just hating the person who said it. It was also tough for me to join any sports cause it required a certain weight scale. I loved sports but I was restricted and I ate like crazy to gain weight but for sports and sports only, at the end of the diet I gained just like 2 pounds. I felt heartbroken after the whole month of being in constant pain and stuff. It is very hard for me to gain weight, that’s all, that’s me, that’s my body, I shouldn’t force it. So should you! Please don’t force yourself into anything. If you wanna gain weight or lose weight please do it in a healthy way! I love you and thank you for making this video, yoonist.

6. very long rant up ahead lmao. excellent video btw, i really enjoyed it. 🙂

   about plastic surgery… i see so often the comment of like "omg this group/idol is so NATURALLY beautiful, unlike certain other idols…" and it's really not the flex that those people think it is. same thing goes for weight, except it's more along the lines of "wow nice to see a girl group that has healthy bodies instead of being sickly thin like every other girl group!!", but in reality they're pretty much the same at the waist as those "other girl groups", they just have more toned legs/thighs. yet, those "other girls" supposedly have eating disorders.

   kpop fans always seem to make a point of putting someone down to raise someone else up and it's so so toxic and frankly just embarrassing. they're boasting the "achievements" of their favs as if they were their own successes and not those of idols who don't even know that they exist. when it comes to our favs, of course a lot of the time we're going to see things through rose coloured glasses. of course we're gonna think they're the most "naturally" beautiful, or their bodies are "goals", but in reality that's just never gonna be true, and it doesn't have to be. idols can still be worthy and beautiful and talented even if they have plastic surgery, or wear a ton of makeup. they're just adhering to the toxic beauty standards that they've been taught by the media, the industry and their companies.

   if you put people on a pedestal and they don't measure up to what you had in mind, then it's your fault for projecting that standard onto someone else in the first place. their body is their own and no one else's, they do not owe you or anyone else anything from how they look. ESPECIALLY if they're minors. you're obsessed and that's your problem, not theirs.

   i understand meeting standards and keeping a "presentable" public image. i work as a model, partially in korea, and i've seen it all with my own two eyes. about a third of the people over the age of 21 that i've worked with have had plastic surgery. and honestly? as long as it's their decision and they feel happy with it, power to them. these aren't even celebrities too, just local models for domestic brands. i just think it's so delusional seeing the hoops that people try and jump through to explain why their idol completely changing their nose bridge or the shape of their face is just puberty or a glow up.

   anyways, that's all, if anyone actually read all of this then i just wanted to say that ily and you're fucking beautiful the way that you are <3 mwah

7. I want to say something..it's not related to the video..I am a really chubby fat girl…but I am comfortable with it…I don't get dress of my size in any of the stores..not even online sites….that means that even the dress making industries make dress only for thin people..then what about people like me..dont we have wish to buy modern clothes..or should we stop putting clothes..I am fed up of this world

8. i think true fans would continue to support their favs no matter what weight, skin colour or looks they have. it should be more about the music, talent and personality after all.

9. i also hate how female idols are even getting criticised for having muscle definition (ningning, heejin) like?? they are literally performers how is it problematic to be fit. idols can truly never win

10. As someone who lives in the Mediterranean and is very pale, I hate it when people feel the need to comment on someone's skin tone
    I've been called zombie, feta cheese, vampire, Azog the pale orc among others cause it's not "natural" for people in this area to be fair, but truth be told, most people I know are getting spray tan, going to sun beds or literally covering themselves in oil and then frying in the sun to get that "normal" skin tone

11. Aren't beauty standards just wonderful?
    Asians are bleaching their skin and in the West people are doing everything to look more tan

12. As someone who experienced both, I agree that fat-shaming is worse cause as soon as you gain some weight, people think you've let go of yourself

13. I agree with the fact that fat-shaming is more normalized especially in kpop but in my opinion skinny-shaming is worse.
    The reason for that is that people are born with fast metabolism like myself and I can’t gain weight no matter what but people that are born with slower metabolism aren’t fat but chubby and eating more than what their body can handle is bad for their health. If you’re fat you aren’t born that way but either you or your parents messed up your eating patterns but if a person is born with a fast metabolism they can’t do anything because they already eat a huge amount so their body can be healthy and if they eat more they will only feel sick like every person does. So you can’t compare the two because one is influenced by one’s actions while the other is genetics.

    And I’m aware that there’re illnesses like PCOS and other that make losing weight harder but they’re not the cause of the weight gain and there’s only one illness that is the cause of weight gain is lipedema and again it only causes weight gain on the legs and nowhere else so it’s easy to spot.
    There’re many illnesses other than genes that are the reason why people are skinny and underweight such as your body not being able to absorb nutrients and many more.

    And sure people would rather be skinny and I’d always choose that over being fat(remember fat isn’t chubby). Why? I want to go on long walks on hiking adventures without my body aching like crazy. And my last point is from my experience that if you’re skinny people immediately associate you with EDs meanwhile if you’re fat you’re seen as lazy when in actuality obese people are most likely to have an ED but people love to forget that Binge Eating ends with Disorder aka BED and yes non obese people do have it too but not as often.

    And about the plastic surgery point I agree 💯 but since they don’t deny it kpop is better in that regard than the American celebrities because are the kardashians really telling us they didn’t have any procedures done? At least in kpop they don’t accept or deny the allegations.

14. I'm not sure if I 100% agree with your opinion that fat-shaming is worse than skinny-shaming. I feel that skinny-shaming is more normalized because individuals don't view calling someone skinny as an insult. Or they think saying someone is too thin will "help them" gain weight. I find that people completely lose their boundaries when it comes to commenting on skinny people's bodies. This is because they don't think they are damaging the person, unlike fat shaming.
    There have been numerous times where people thought they were "helping me" when I was struggling with my ED. I was constantly told things like "Oh you're too skinny" or "You need to eat more so you will gain weight". People think it's okay to say things like this because being skinny is more accepted among the beauty standard in the world, like you mentioned. While these words ended up hurting more, as I was trying to gain back weight and ended up relapsing.
    Of course I think everyone should be validated of their pain, regardless if it's skinny shaming or fat shaming. But I don't think one should be placed on a pedestal, as it could lead to the other continually not being viewed as a big deal.

15. I get so annoyed of these people mindset like how can you think like that
    All these stereotypes makes idol question there self worth
    The only explanation I can think of is ghat these people are jealous of idols because of how successful and nice they are so they hate on them on the basis of there looks

16. When I watched Sixteen in the second round I believe the Judge and photographer body. Also another round when they are dancing Jay Why Pee said Jihyo is get fatter/heavier that's why she's getting slower.

17. I always get called "fat" by my relatives and family like, whenever I haven't seen a relative/family member for a while they would say something like "Omg, you put on so much weight since the last time I've seen you, you need to start eating less and exercise more!" Most of the time my family just calls me straight up "fat" which really hurts me inside but idols have to suffer through it everyday with multiple comments about their weight so I can't even imagine how they feel.
