Yeah their clothing sizes are insane too. Like an american large is a korean small or xs. So they really don't get very big because their beauty standards expect everyone to be super small
right? I've started listening to k-pop about 2 months ago and there's so many problematic things that i almost feel guilty to give money to an industry like that
LOL Wendy's not a "foreigner", she immigrated. She left Korea when she was what, pre-teens? She doesn't have "fat, foreigner genes" because she's 100% Korean. She's probably fuller during predebut because of the Western food composition as well and the amount of excercise she used to have wasn't as much as she does now.
Right, this is what I’m confused by. The idea that she’s considered a foreigner because she spent a big chunk of her formative years in North America but was born in and spent what the first 10 11 years of life in Korea?
Dan Getson Wendy didn’t spend a huge amount of time in NA. She only moved to Canada for high school and just stayed their for 4 years. She came back to SK after that and became a trainee.
LM I thought she moved there when she was 10, 11 went to shattuck st Mary’s for middle school in MN USA and then moved to Richmond hill to finish high school so a bit more than a 4 years but the fact remains.
People:Wendy needs to lose weight (stressing out Wendy) Wendy:*loses weight* People:wow she looks so good Wendy: becomes afraid of eating cause she doesn't want to deal with backlash and loses weight. People: Woah. Wendy is losing too much weight. It must be the company's fault. Yeah... definitely sounds like the company's fault.
This is scary to watch. She went from a perfectly healthy body weight to severely underweight with a clear ED. The fact people are admiring this and young insecure and impressionable fans are watching this happen is so disturbing.
I want to hug her so bad I hate the idea of Korean "talent" standards, Wendy is (in my opinion) one of the bests vocalists I've ever heard, SM has gold in their hands and the only thing They do is making idols feel bad.
Funny how “fans” hate on her when she gains weight but blame the company when she gets an eating disorder. The reason the company is doing that is because of the intense hate from these “fans”...
It was SM too. Joy explained on happy together SM monitored their weight and made them weigh themselves everyday and tell them what they were eating etc. Plus the video of wendy trying to eat ice cream but couldnt because her manager was glaring at her shows her manager also didnt approve of her eating.
OR it's herself. She probably puts too much pressure on herself. Why do people assume it's everyone else? I'm sure she feels a certain way about it or else she wouldn't have lost that weight before she debuted.
@@boojoogoo bruh who wouldn't put pressure on themselves when the whole world LITERALLY forces them to lose weight. fans are lowkey bullying wendy to ED.
@@layloo5244 it is the company's fault too, but the "fans" got balls to blame ONLY the company when they demand for the idols to be underweight. it's both of their fault.
Am I the only one who's really happy for idols who are normal weights? Like Wendy was "overweight" she was just healthier. And she was freaking adorable. It brings a smile to my face when I see idols who are more than 50kg. But, if they are naturally underweight, it still is fine. But if an idol is like 180cm and 45kg I get very worried. Underweight idols is just showing how cruel the companies are.
No one is "naturally underweight". No one is "naturally" skinny either. It's all about lifestyle and eating habits. Lisa and Rosé, both idols who are medically underweight and have been told that on shows by medical professionals, are called "naturally skinny" when they're obviously restricting to maintain their sickly BMI of 15.
I love Wendy but she has always been one of the members to get the most hate. Yeri is hated in Korea for being a late member, but people internationally always rush to defend her considering how unfair it is, while for Wendy it seems that neither side really even likes her. For Korea it has to do with her weight changes and appearance, while internationally they are about the insensitive and stereotypical imitation she did of black girls on that variety show (which was very wrong and im not at all defending her). She definitely isn't perfect and has done bad things, but I can't imagine how hard it must be to have so little support both ways. From the way her agency seems to treat her, I dont think even they care about her very much. It's probably the reason she's never been able to admit to her problem or recover. Thanks again for uploading this!
I like her and I think Wendy’s weight has always been fine except for during red flavor era but now I think it’s perfect and peekaboo era was perfect also and her comments didn’t really bother me considering many things
A.udrey.l Wow. That’s definitely biased. First of all, Yeri wasn’t trained to be a singer. Second of all, I think the dancing part is legit biased because you don’t like her. she is a LEAD DANCER. On idol room she did this kick step without her hands which even Seulgi didn’t attempt or try to do.
I used to have an ed myself and the way she described how she eats is really similar to how the ed community would skip out on food. Youd watch others eat and it would translate to yourself feeling 'satisfied'- its hard to explain without being nasty.
Wendy's story is just really sad like Uee. I really don't know why people dislike her so much. After power up her fan-base seems to be a bit stronger than before though. It's surprising because usually the strongest vocal is the most popular. Wendy is still pretty obsessed with dieting but she's really toned it down a bit. I think she's legit trying to find her balance so she can be happy and just have everyone leave her alone about it. The way people fat shammed her and called her gross after losing weight probably scarred her for a long time.
She got into a really bad racism scandal after she imitated a black and a white girl and is to this day getting backlash from the public although the K-Pop industry is pretty much the most racism, sexism and homophobe out of all industries. This obviously doesn't excuse her behaviour but I feel like the way she imitated white girls was just as bad. It just disappoints me that she never apologized. Another point is that she's American and being a foreigner is usually a disadvantage in the k-pop industry (for example the public is more focused on the girls' weight like you mentioned, or just take a look at Nct WinWins, Yutas and Johnnys lines. Although the boys are, compared to Wendy, beloved by fans they rarely get center even when the song is in their native language (I'm sorry if this is a mess but it's nearly 1am in my home country and English isn't my first language but I was really glad you managed to reupload this video))
@@liccy1677 Not only that, but she apparently immitated black people again when Bad Boy came out, which got more people angry. I honestly don't think she meant to be hurtful, but she should have learned from the first time she did. And the fact that she's Canadian made it even worse.
as someone with an ED, who has known and seen other people develop EDs. she is definitely either on the verge of developing one or already has. the sad thing is, it will never go away completely. it will always be a voice at the edge of her mind. constantly being criticized will only make it worse. I really hope she can make a full recovery, and that fans will finally shut up about her weight.
I can’t believe she was on a show talking about literal signs of an eating disorder and the editors just popped up text and sound effects they acted like it was nothing. She’s short it’s natural for her to be on the slightly thicker side this is so sad.
Im one of those people who only really gain weight in their legs and face, even if i have a small bone structure, and i gain weight easily. it really sucks and its easy to feel self conscious about your legs. if you ever have a thigh gap, its a feeling that gives you the most happiness in the world. you begin to realize how easily your legs gain weight and so you eat less and less, three meals, to two meals, to one meal, to five bites, down to three. youre happy because the weight in your legs and overall body has reduced, but it becomes unhealthy. it takes a while to find a healthy point, because it just seems so hard to stay "fit." everyday i look at my legs and pinch at the fat, and without realizing eat less because it just comes natural. you begin to grow uncomfortable eating food. once at a school party we had snacks and i remember feeling sick after eating a few bites. heck, even thinking about it i have the feeling of putting snacks down. 7:20 this body would make people that gain weight like wendy and i extremely happy, to be at this point. i was happy for her when i saw this clip, and then the captions said negative things about it and my smile just dropped. i had no idea. i think, this video will help me realize how unhealthy it is to eat like this. this is how i feel when im NOT an idol. i cant imagine how pressured wendy feels as an idol. i think this is why my bias is wendy, because i understand the struggle. no matter what body, we should support wendy, and encourage her to live healthily!
The way these fans over react to these celebrities “weight” gains you would think the celebrity became 600lbs over night. She looks average weight for her height.
I long for Wendy's body in the Dumb Dumb era, oh my gosh those legs are perfection. I love Wendy so muchhh! Go girl!!! Ignore the haters, you are so talented...!!! :)
not even gonna lie, she looked really good thicc because it really fit her outfits and really good thin because it also fit her outfits. She's super pretty and kpop fanbases rly suck. have a nice day
Her dancing is so much less sharp and energized when she's really skinny. She's probably really undernourished and struggling to have the energy to perform.
Ok but she was actually so beautiful and healthy in late 2015-early 2016. If I had to choose a physique, I would choose that one. It suits her too. I can’t believe netizens bullied her into that extreme weight loss. I really want her to be healthy and gain the weight back if she hasn’t already.
this makes me so sad she’s perfect just the way she is and she didn’t deserve any of that especially the hate towards her weight every member on red velvet is beautiful
Wendy: * looks normal and healthy * people: ew Wendy: * weight loss * people: 💖💖💖💖💖💖 Wendy: * afraid of food, still losing weight * people: * pikachu face * ew i hate this
I was healthier chubby. Just because someone is thin, doesn't mean it's healthy. In reality most of us are weak, frail, tired, dizzy, depressed, deprived.
it makes me really sad to see that there are people that think it's okay to criticize these idols. if i had to take a guess, i would say that the eras where she was skinnier were probably the most miserable for wendy. i don't exactly understand korean culture, but in the us and canada (where wendy's grew up), we embrace every size and shape. it's really terrible that grown people have the hearts to say that wendy in the dumb dumb area is lazy.
This video pisses me off she looked amazing when she was “chubby” that was a completely normal weight I can’t believe they made her lose weight from that
@@jka1165 agreed, at one point my TW TW ed was so bad around two years ago. But here I am now eating delightfully although I do fall back sometimes but still going strong!
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any notifications from your channel and decided to look you up. I'm glad I found you again! Just a suggestion, maybe you could do Umji from Gfriend?
Such an intelligent and talented woman reduced to the stupid kpop standards.. I think that now she’s a bit older she’s realized her worth. She’s so so so much more than her weight!
Sometimes I remember all the things she has been through, and I wish she had stayed in Canada/Usa becoming a dentist or studying any of the careers she wanted to study.
Even at 2:35, her "heaviest," she's probably 118 pounds and that's perfectly healthy for someone her height. It shouldn't matter what somebody looks like, but whether they eat right, exercise, and overall are just healthy.
wow, literally the definition of an eating disorder... i hope she will be okay... I for one love her for who she is, it doesn't matter what she looks like (she was beautiful to begin with!)
I was worried about her health, obviously she's the thinnest out of all Kpop members, Wendy really deserved this spot and in the future, she shud be getting higher. She works very hard and stays humble and kind-hearted. My first idol
Korea's beauty standards are so toxic she can be as big or slim as she wants she is a human being not a robot we gain weight it's something that we can't control.
The heck I want to cry right now. It must be so hard for her to receive all these negative reactions from people WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HER OR WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH. Koreans should wake up that they shouldn't focused that much on outward appearance. Don't let others decide your value, Wendy. 😭
I hope those People hating on her don't consider themselves as part of the fandom...Even when she's chubby that doesn't change her talent and personality but as was said, it's mostly all about appearance in Kpop industry.. Waiting for the day it's all about just a healthy body, talent, passion and personality..
I got into Red Velvet because of Wendy. I saw her dancing so carefree in knowing bros that I fell for her instantly. You can tell that she is very cheerful and vibrant just from that dance. Seeing this video I got scared. Just what the hell is wrong with people? She is a lovely person, can't you see that ? I just really want to protect that carefree smile of hers. Please be ok Wendy. I really wish I could hug you right now. You are and always will be my queen . Saranghae !
Even though Wendy is beautiful in anyway, but I feel like her being skinny really caught people’s attention because her body and Face really stands out once she lost those weight, and also I feel like she feels a lot more confident in her skinny times. Her body in Umpah Umpah is pretty good she seems really stunning but I don’t want Red Flavor to repeat again
Why r they giving her hate comments they rlly work hard and she's cute how can she be ugly + as long as she's healthy like bruh can't they be real fans and appreciate every member they r cute and beautiful no matter what they rlly work hard can't anyone be more humane it's not that hard to be nice🤦🏻♀️
can people stop commenting abt any idols' body? focus on their talent. they aren't a group to be known for their "amazing bodies" they're known for their amazing vocal and dancing skills. skinny doesn't mean attractive.
I’m crying, as someone who has issues with weight going to her face and legs and no where else, and feel huge and afraid to eat and become bigger, I can completely relate to all of this. I want to give her the biggest hug and tell her that no matter what she does, we all have her back and will support her no matter what the scale says
The fact that some Asians look at foreigners and assume they must have "fat/chubby genes" (as mentioned in the last few notes in the video) really pisses me off. Our genetics are 100% out of our control, we have no say over how our fat distributes naturally, healthy diet or not. I'd rather have a tiny bit of fat and be eating enough to fuel my body/feel strong. When I was starving myself to be "prettier" I had no energy and my skin was terrible. Koreans who encourage idols to go without food should be ashamed.
As much as I hate that fans critiqued and criticized her body I’m very happy that this person used kind and good words to express her emotion on the situation
ppl be commenting about how she shouldn't focus on her weight but don't forget what the kpop industry sells: looks and visuals. I'm not saying in any way that it's justified to hate on someone because of their weight, but you guys are being too unrealistic with these comments. you think a group of overweight pop idols will sell better than idols who are petite? Sorry to say, that's just unrealistic especially since east Asian culture associates thin with beauty. again, not bashing overweight people here, but hell I've lived in both east Asia and the US and let me tell you there are barely any overweight people in Asia. it's just a cultural difference and you need to accept that Asian countries aren't as liberal as western countries when it comes to stuff like weight.
People called her fat at 52kg. That's ridiculous how someone that size could be considered fat! It broke my heart when she said she didn't enjoy eating because the other girls were thinner than her. Netizens need to learn that as long as a person is healthy that it doesn't matter how "fat" or "thin" they are.
It’s disgusting how her fans said she was fat and lazy when she actually had a beautiful body, and shamed her because she was “too skinny” for their likings. Why can’t the idols just breathe, the focus should be on their voices and not how they look
Am I part of the minority of the fans who only really focuses on the song, voices and outfits in every comeback instead of the body types? I mean, shoot, Wendy has a better figure than most people and has a beautiful voice and face to boot. Seriously haters, stop looking at her body and appreciate her talent more, she's putting a lot of effort just to maintain both of them so the least you can do is enjoy her dance moves and vocals.
She really looked pretty and healthy back then but I won't say I prefer her better there or she looks unhealthy now..because what would I be doing ? The same. She's skinny now and people are blaming her that she's unhealthy, then she gains a little weight and people call her fat. What's wrong with these people? Can y'all just stop commenting on her body? Ik you're trying to make her feel good that she was healthy then and not fat but that doesn't help now. You're making it worse. Just stop commenting on her body. Is it that hard? If you want to comment just say Wendy you're really amazing. You're talented. And your pretty always. Beautiful you. ( That's all. Stop commenting she looks prettier before than now or whatever ) ..
Thank you for this. I will never, never forget kfans for what they did to some idols. Taeyeon, Suri, Umji, Yeri, IU, Wheein, and more went through extremely dark and difficult days due to bullying, backlash and hate, this is absolutely sickening. It's always double sided and they're so hypocrite : "take care of yourself" but don't gain weight, "they are so healthy" when these idols are starving, "they look so good" when they are the skinniest ever, ect ... Obviously, idols mental health is pushed aside and when they express their sadness/sorrow about some moments being hard, it's always the "then you shouldn't have become an idol", like it was their job to obey fans and turn themselves into puppets who fans force to fit into a fucking unhealthy mould for their own pleasure. It's disgusting, that seriously makes me sick to the stomach. And they even dare to call ifans names ? They literally have EVERYTHING and because they are koreans they think they can dictate their lives so idols can be just like they would like them to be ? Yeah just shup the fuck up.
It is easy to criticize than create. Every single human in this world think they are better then the others. I just thankful how Wendy can faces the hate comments and she has realize its a risk to be an idol. I pray she always healthy and happy.
Why is her weight such a huge topic, like why can't they talk and admire the facts shes so good at singing, poor wendy n all other idols who go through this, stupid ass "fans". If u were really a fan ud love her regardless. The industry is so annoying bc u can't be "too chubby" or "too skinny". It's like tf do u want from them?!? to evaporate?!?!
It's sad that they are so hyper focused on size like she definitely changed over time but it feels like everytime she gained five pounds someone had to write an article about it, like geez does it really matter if she's 120 or 125 pounds jesus
she literally had a healthy body. she was young and craved food which is normal for her age. the media bullied her into thinking her body was gross and she was lazy all because they didn’t like the way HER body looked. This most likely affected her a LOT and she went on a diet. they praised her, and she probably felt loved and it gave her the valadiation she wanted. She decided to lose MORE weight in hope that people would love her more and people began to call her ugly and scary? what the fuck is wrong with people seriously. this girl was hurt by so many people and most likely suffered an ED because of toxic ‘fans’. i feel so bad that she felt the need to do this to her body because of how cruel people were to her. she is really beautiful and i hope she learns she doesn’t need to change her body for ANYONE. my heart hurts for her. people bullied her for ‘gaining’ to much weight and when she did so she got called more names. i’m so sick how can they’re be actual people like this that hate on peoples body for no reason. people who do that are full of insecurity and try to make other peoples lives miserable. shame on them.
taehyung i said when she isnt too skinny. happiness ice cream cake and dumb dumb were the eras where her abs were most prominent. just depends on her diet and if shes exercising enough to maintain those abs
How disgusting...The so called ‘Fans’ has rights to criticize her. You know when I was a kid most of my friends wanted to be famous and rich. But since childhood, I had never even once wanted it. They have to pretend they are fine, they act best as they can, they got bullied, they got depressed... You have millions of fans? You also have half million of haters. Those singers, famous people are STRONG
so basically the fans bullied her into an eating disorder and then shamed her for it afterwards

She's probably fuller during predebut because of the Western food composition as well and the amount of excercise she used to have wasn't as much as she does now.
Right, this is what I’m confused by. The idea that she’s considered a foreigner because she spent a big chunk of her formative years in North America but was born in and spent what the first 10 11 years of life in Korea?
Dan Getson Wendy didn’t spend a huge amount of time in NA. She only moved to Canada for high school and just stayed their for 4 years. She came back to SK after that and became a trainee.
LM I thought she moved there when she was 10, 11 went to shattuck st Mary’s for middle school in MN USA and then moved to Richmond hill to finish high school so a bit more than a 4 years but the fact remains.
People:Wendy needs to lose weight (stressing out Wendy)
Wendy:*loses weight*
People:wow she looks so good
Wendy: becomes afraid of eating cause she doesn't want to deal with backlash and loses weight.
People: Woah. Wendy is losing too much weight. It must be the company's fault.
Yeah... definitely sounds like the company's fault.
Both the fans and companies fault.
IKR these people are unbelievable, like, how can they be so inhumane and dumb. i feel bad for wendy TT
This is scary to watch. She went from a perfectly healthy body weight to severely underweight with a clear ED. The fact people are admiring this and young insecure and impressionable fans are watching this happen is so disturbing.
I want to hug her so bad
I hate the idea of Korean "talent" standards, Wendy is (in my opinion) one of the bests vocalists I've ever heard, SM has gold in their hands and the only thing They do is making idols feel bad.
Funny how “fans” hate on her when she gains weight but blame the company when she gets an eating disorder. The reason the company is doing that is because of the intense hate from these “fans”...
"Suspecting her company is pushing her too hard" lmao is that a joke? It's all bc of u guys.
It was SM too. Joy explained on happy together SM monitored their weight and made them weigh themselves everyday and tell them what they were eating etc. Plus the video of wendy trying to eat ice cream but couldnt because her manager was glaring at her shows her manager also didnt approve of her eating.
OR it's herself. She probably puts too much pressure on herself. Why do people assume it's everyone else? I'm sure she feels a certain way about it or else she wouldn't have lost that weight before she debuted.
@@boojoogoo bruh who wouldn't put pressure on themselves when the whole world LITERALLY forces them to lose weight. fans are lowkey bullying wendy to ED.
@@layloo5244 it is the company's fault too, but the "fans" got balls to blame ONLY the company when they demand for the idols to be underweight. it's both of their fault.
Am I the only one who's really happy for idols who are normal weights? Like Wendy was "overweight" she was just healthier. And she was freaking adorable. It brings a smile to my face when I see idols who are more than 50kg. But, if they are naturally underweight, it still is fine. But if an idol is like 180cm and 45kg I get very worried. Underweight idols is just showing how cruel the companies are.
How cruel korean society is
50 kg is a healty weight for someone who's very short like me(152.4 cm)
No one is "naturally underweight".
No one is "naturally" skinny either. It's all about lifestyle and eating habits.
Lisa and Rosé, both idols who are medically underweight and have been told that on shows by medical professionals, are called "naturally skinny" when they're obviously restricting to maintain their sickly BMI of 15.
I love Wendy but she has always been one of the members to get the most hate. Yeri is hated in Korea for being a late member, but people internationally always rush to defend her considering how unfair it is, while for Wendy it seems that neither side really even likes her. For Korea it has to do with her weight changes and appearance, while internationally they are about the insensitive and stereotypical imitation she did of black girls on that variety show (which was very wrong and im not at all defending her). She definitely isn't perfect and has done bad things, but I can't imagine how hard it must be to have so little support both ways. From the way her agency seems to treat her, I dont think even they care about her very much. It's probably the reason she's never been able to admit to her problem or recover. Thanks again for uploading this!
Yea.. But she is my bias despite everything. She is a lovely hardworking girl but people still don’t like her that much..
I like her and I think Wendy’s weight has always been fine except for during red flavor era but now I think it’s perfect and peekaboo era was perfect also and her comments didn’t really bother me considering many things
Linn Knutson what were the jokes
A.udrey.l Wow. That’s definitely biased. First of all, Yeri wasn’t trained to be a singer. Second of all, I think the dancing part is legit biased because you don’t like her. she is a LEAD DANCER. On idol room she did this kick step without her hands which even Seulgi didn’t attempt or try to do.
@@audrey7175 stfu
I used to have an ed myself and the way she described how she eats is really similar to how the ed community would skip out on food. Youd watch others eat and it would translate to yourself feeling 'satisfied'- its hard to explain without being nasty.
Wendy's story is just really sad like Uee. I really don't know why people dislike her so much. After power up her fan-base seems to be a bit stronger than before though. It's surprising because usually the strongest vocal is the most popular. Wendy is still pretty obsessed with dieting but she's really toned it down a bit. I think she's legit trying to find her balance so she can be happy and just have everyone leave her alone about it. The way people fat shammed her and called her gross after losing weight probably scarred her for a long time.
Are you gonna make a part 2
I'm not sure yet. If I do it won't be for a while because I have alot of requests to get through :)
She got into a really bad racism scandal after she imitated a black and a white girl and is to this day getting backlash from the public although the K-Pop industry is pretty much the most racism, sexism and homophobe out of all industries. This obviously doesn't excuse her behaviour but I feel like the way she imitated white girls was just as bad. It just disappoints me that she never apologized.
Another point is that she's American and being a foreigner is usually a disadvantage in the k-pop industry (for example the public is more focused on the girls' weight like you mentioned, or just take a look at Nct WinWins, Yutas and Johnnys lines. Although the boys are, compared to Wendy, beloved by fans they rarely get center even when the song is in their native language (I'm sorry if this is a mess but it's nearly 1am in my home country and English isn't my first language but I was really glad you managed to reupload this video))

Not only that, but she apparently immitated black people again when Bad Boy came out, which got more people angry. I honestly don't think she meant to be hurtful, but she should have learned from the first time she did. And the fact that she's Canadian made it even worse.
She said she lost a bit of weight this recent comeback because o her schedule.
it's hard being a girl. no matter how you look or what you do, you'll always be labelled something
And the sad part is, she has lost a lot of weight again which you can see from her recent fancams
oh..really?
4:39 poor girl. she literally just said "nothing tastes as good as skinny feels" and it's an incredibly problematic mentality to have
I actually like ‘chubby Wendy’ even tho she wasn’t even chubby she’s was just thicc, Like girl looked good
At her "heaviest" she was still pretty skinny and normal, what the hell...
I would hate being a Kpop idol, weight is everything in that industry.
as someone with an ED, who has known and seen other people develop EDs. she is definitely either on the verge of developing one or already has. the sad thing is, it will never go away completely. it will always be a voice at the edge of her mind. constantly being criticized will only make it worse. I really hope she can make a full recovery, and that fans will finally shut up about her weight.
2:19 THAT’S FAT?!
OHMYGOD
THEN I’M A MEGALADON MIXED WITH A WHALE.
I can’t believe she was on a show talking about literal signs of an eating disorder and the editors just popped up text and sound effects they acted like it was nothing. She’s short it’s natural for her to be on the slightly thicker side this is so sad.
in dumb dumb era she wasn't even fat its so sad to se all the hate she received and still recieves
Im one of those people who only really gain weight in their legs and face, even if i have a small bone structure, and i gain weight easily.
it really sucks and its easy to feel self conscious about your legs. if you ever have a thigh gap, its a feeling that gives you the most happiness in the world. you begin to realize how easily your legs gain weight and so you eat less and less, three meals, to two meals, to one meal, to five bites, down to three. youre happy because the weight in your legs and overall body has reduced, but it becomes unhealthy. it takes a while to find a healthy point, because it just seems so hard to stay "fit."
everyday i look at my legs and pinch at the fat, and without realizing eat less because it just comes natural. you begin to grow uncomfortable eating food. once at a school party we had snacks and i remember feeling sick after eating a few bites. heck, even thinking about it i have the feeling of putting snacks down.
7:20 this body would make people that gain weight like wendy and i extremely happy, to be at this point. i was happy for her when i saw this clip, and then the captions said negative things about it and my smile just dropped. i had no idea. i think, this video will help me realize how unhealthy it is to eat like this.
this is how i feel when im NOT an idol. i cant imagine how pressured wendy feels as an idol. i think this is why my bias is wendy, because i understand the struggle. no matter what body, we should support wendy, and encourage her to live healthily!
6:00 broke my heart
Same 😞
The way these fans over react to these celebrities “weight” gains you would think the celebrity became 600lbs over night. She looks average weight for her height.
I long for Wendy's body in the Dumb Dumb era, oh my gosh those legs are perfection. I love Wendy so muchhh! Go girl!!! Ignore the haters, you are so talented...!!! :)
I don't rlly like Wendy but what the supposed fans did to her was beyond disgusting and disrespectful and no one should have to go through that
The same fans that criticized her and now worried are the biggest hypocrites, they're the ones that put her on that path.
This is so sad, she didn't look chubby anytime
2:35 holy shit she’s PERFECT here
archie exactly!
3:00 I fucking love her. "They can't breathe because of you".
UM.....thats muscle lol. if you're practicing ur choreo as often as her, you'll get toned.
not even gonna lie, she looked really good thicc because it really fit her outfits and really good thin because it also fit her outfits. She's super pretty and kpop fanbases rly suck. have a nice day
Her dancing is so much less sharp and energized when she's really skinny. She's probably really undernourished and struggling to have the energy to perform.
Ok but she was actually so beautiful and healthy in late 2015-early 2016. If I had to choose a physique, I would choose that one. It suits her too. I can’t believe netizens bullied her into that extreme weight loss. I really want her to be healthy and gain the weight back if she hasn’t already.
netizens: lose weight!!!
wendy: *loses weight*
netizens: ew not like that
this video is like my guilty pleasure. i come back and watch it so often
it's either too skinny or too fat for k-pop fans, no in between. same can be applied to taeyeon, wendy, and lia.
this makes me so sad she’s perfect just the way she is and she didn’t deserve any of that especially the hate towards her weight every member on red velvet is beautiful
if i was as skinny as “thicker” wendy i would be happy sigh
Wendy: * looks normal and healthy *
people: ew
Wendy: * weight loss *
people: 💖💖💖💖💖💖
Wendy: * afraid of food, still losing weight *
people: * pikachu face * ew
i hate this
I was healthier chubby. Just because someone is thin, doesn't mean it's healthy. In reality most of us are weak, frail, tired, dizzy, depressed, deprived.
it makes me really sad to see that there are people that think it's okay to criticize these idols. if i had to take a guess, i would say that the eras where she was skinnier were probably the most miserable for wendy. i don't exactly understand korean culture, but in the us and canada (where wendy's grew up), we embrace every size and shape. it's really terrible that grown people have the hearts to say that wendy in the dumb dumb area is lazy.
Hi, I don't understand: she borns in Canadá, why she went to South Korea!? Why several artists with Korean blood, born in USA go to KS? Why?
Lina Blues I mean why not? Korea is their hometown
This video pisses me off she looked amazing when she was “chubby” that was a completely normal weight I can’t believe they made her lose weight from that
" You know the girls... _They bring the boys out!_ "
My jam before all of your video... 😅 💕
I rewatch this like every year and I have no idea why
To be kind with others and ourselves, and to avoid restricting ourselves
@@jka1165 agreed, at one point my TW TW ed was so bad around two years ago. But here I am now eating delightfully although I do fall back sometimes but still going strong!
@@jewelwood4587 good to know that you are doing great now 💖
I was wondering why I wasn't getting any notifications from your channel and decided to look you up. I'm glad I found you again! Just a suggestion, maybe you could do Umji from Gfriend?
Such an intelligent and talented woman reduced to the stupid kpop standards.. I think that now she’s a bit older she’s realized her worth. She’s so so so much more than her weight!
Sometimes I remember all the things she has been through, and I wish she had stayed in Canada/Usa becoming a dentist or studying any of the careers she wanted to study.
Even at 2:35, her "heaviest," she's probably 118 pounds and that's perfectly healthy for someone her height. It shouldn't matter what somebody looks like, but whether they eat right, exercise, and overall are just healthy.
wow, literally the definition of an eating disorder... i hope she will be okay... I for one love her for who she is, it doesn't matter what she looks like (she was beautiful to begin with!)
I was worried about her health, obviously she's the thinnest out of all Kpop members, Wendy really deserved this spot and in the future, she shud be getting higher.
She works very hard and stays humble and kind-hearted.
My first idol
Some fans get worried but when it comes to her gaining weight those fans are also the one hating! :/
Korea's beauty standards are so toxic she can be as big or slim as she wants she is a human being not a robot we gain weight it's something that we can't control.
The heck I want to cry right now. It must be so hard for her to receive all these negative reactions from people WHO DOESN'T EVEN KNOW HER OR WHAT SHE'S GOING THROUGH. Koreans should wake up that they shouldn't focused that much on outward appearance. Don't let others decide your value, Wendy. 😭
I hope those People hating on her don't consider themselves as part of the fandom...Even when she's chubby that doesn't change her talent and personality but as was said, it's mostly all about appearance in Kpop industry.. Waiting for the day it's all about just a healthy body, talent, passion and personality..
I got into Red Velvet because of Wendy. I saw her dancing so carefree in knowing bros that I fell for her instantly. You can tell that she is very cheerful and vibrant just from that dance. Seeing this video I got scared. Just what the hell is wrong with people? She is a lovely person, can't you see that ? I just really want to protect that carefree smile of hers. Please be ok Wendy. I really wish I could hug you right now. You are and always will be my queen . Saranghae !
Even though Wendy is beautiful in anyway, but I feel like her being skinny really caught people’s attention because her body and Face really stands out once she lost those weight, and also I feel like she feels a lot more confident in her skinny times. Her body in Umpah Umpah is pretty good she seems really stunning but I don’t want Red Flavor to repeat again
Why r they giving her hate comments they rlly work hard and she's cute how can she be ugly + as long as she's healthy like bruh can't they be real fans and appreciate every member they r cute and beautiful no matter what they rlly work hard can't anyone be more humane it's not that hard to be nice🤦🏻♀️
South Korea needs to chill with their beauty fixation
They r obsessed with looks
nothing breaks my heart more than this, Wendy deserves love and support for all her body sizes, she was never ever fat EVER
can people stop commenting abt any idols' body? focus on their talent. they aren't a group to be known for their "amazing bodies" they're known for their amazing vocal and dancing skills. skinny doesn't mean attractive.
I don't care about her weight Wendy is so beautiful and cute 😍
well good news i discovered red velvet because of this video and i’ve been a reveluv for over a year!!!! bad news i still have anorexia
that makes two of us
1:55 every middle schooler’s hair in 2015
I’m crying, as someone who has issues with weight going to her face and legs and no where else, and feel huge and afraid to eat and become bigger, I can completely relate to all of this. I want to give her the biggest hug and tell her that no matter what she does, we all have her back and will support her no matter what the scale says
The fact that some Asians look at foreigners and assume they must have "fat/chubby genes" (as mentioned in the last few notes in the video) really pisses me off. Our genetics are 100% out of our control, we have no say over how our fat distributes naturally, healthy diet or not. I'd rather have a tiny bit of fat and be eating enough to fuel my body/feel strong. When I was starving myself to be "prettier" I had no energy and my skin was terrible. Koreans who encourage idols to go without food should be ashamed.
As much as I hate that fans critiqued and criticized her body I’m very happy that this person used kind and good words to express her emotion on the situation
poor girl, especially the interview clips from russian roulette era make me sad. hope she’s doing better now
ppl be commenting about how she shouldn't focus on her weight but don't forget what the kpop industry sells: looks and visuals. I'm not saying in any way that it's justified to hate on someone because of their weight, but you guys are being too unrealistic with these comments. you think a group of overweight pop idols will sell better than idols who are petite? Sorry to say, that's just unrealistic especially since east Asian culture associates thin with beauty. again, not bashing overweight people here, but hell I've lived in both east Asia and the US and let me tell you there are barely any overweight people in Asia. it's just a cultural difference and you need to accept that Asian countries aren't as liberal as western countries when it comes to stuff like weight.
i genuinely dont understand how y'all can even enjoy this industry. im thankful im not a kpop fan because this is disgusting and inhumane
Idk why people dislike the video, there is nothing wrong with it
Seriously, she wasn't even fat or chubby. It's just called being "thicc" 🤧
People called her fat at 52kg. That's ridiculous how someone that size could be considered fat! It broke my heart when she said she didn't enjoy eating because the other girls were thinner than her. Netizens need to learn that as long as a person is healthy that it doesn't matter how "fat" or "thin" they are.
Wendy is actually really fit compared to many people
It’s disgusting how her fans said she was fat and lazy when she actually had a beautiful body, and shamed her because she was “too skinny” for their likings. Why can’t the idols just breathe, the focus should be on their voices and not how they look
Am I part of the minority of the fans who only really focuses on the song, voices and outfits in every comeback instead of the body types? I mean, shoot, Wendy has a better figure than most people and has a beautiful voice and face to boot. Seriously haters, stop looking at her body and appreciate her talent more, she's putting a lot of effort just to maintain both of them so the least you can do is enjoy her dance moves and vocals.
She really looked pretty and healthy back then but I won't say I prefer her better there or she looks unhealthy now..because what would I be doing ? The same. She's skinny now and people are blaming her that she's unhealthy, then she gains a little weight and people call her fat. What's wrong with these people? Can y'all just stop commenting on her body? Ik you're trying to make her feel good that she was healthy then and not fat but that doesn't help now. You're making it worse. Just stop commenting on her body. Is it that hard? If you want to comment just say Wendy you're really amazing. You're talented. And your pretty always. Beautiful you. ( That's all. Stop commenting she looks prettier before than now or whatever ) ..
Thank you for this.
I will never, never forget kfans for what they did to some idols. Taeyeon, Suri, Umji, Yeri, IU, Wheein, and more went through extremely dark and difficult days due to bullying, backlash and hate, this is absolutely sickening. It's always double sided and they're so hypocrite : "take care of yourself" but don't gain weight, "they are so healthy" when these idols are starving, "they look so good" when they are the skinniest ever, ect ... Obviously, idols mental health is pushed aside and when they express their sadness/sorrow about some moments being hard, it's always the "then you shouldn't have become an idol", like it was their job to obey fans and turn themselves into puppets who fans force to fit into a fucking unhealthy mould for their own pleasure. It's disgusting, that seriously makes me sick to the stomach. And they even dare to call ifans names ? They literally have EVERYTHING and because they are koreans they think they can dictate their lives so idols can be just like they would like them to be ? Yeah just shup the fuck up.
It is easy to criticize than create. Every single human in this world think they are better then the others. I just thankful how Wendy can faces the hate comments and she has realize its a risk to be an idol. I pray she always healthy and happy.
Why is her weight such a huge topic, like why can't they talk and admire the facts shes so good at singing, poor wendy n all other idols who go through this, stupid ass "fans". If u were really a fan ud love her regardless. The industry is so annoying bc u can't be "too chubby" or "too skinny".
It's like tf do u want from them?!?
to evaporate?!?!
This girl deserves so much love. Hope she realizes that she is perfect just the way she is.
it's not about when she looked better- it's about NO ONE should have a say about anyone's body. YOU DON'T HAVE THE RIGHT.
Her in the interview: *literally describing an eating disorder*
The background music: *upbeat elevator music*
It's sad that they are so hyper focused on size like she definitely changed over time but it feels like everytime she gained five pounds someone had to write an article about it, like geez does it really matter if she's 120 or 125 pounds jesus
2:14
She looks PERFECT and fit here
So-called fans and netizens are the worst
I cant believe this is two years ago
she literally had a healthy body. she was young and craved food which is normal for her age. the media bullied her into thinking her body was gross and she was lazy all because they didn’t like the way HER body looked. This most likely affected her a LOT and she went on a diet. they praised her, and she probably felt loved and it gave her the valadiation she wanted. She decided to lose MORE weight in hope that people would love her more and people began to call her ugly and scary? what the fuck is wrong with people seriously. this girl was hurt by so many people and most likely suffered an ED because of toxic ‘fans’. i feel so bad that she felt the need to do this to her body because of how cruel people were to her. she is really beautiful and i hope she learns she doesn’t need to change her body for ANYONE. my heart hurts for her. people bullied her for ‘gaining’ to much weight and when she did so she got called more names. i’m so sick how can they’re be actual people like this that hate on peoples body for no reason. people who do that are full of insecurity and try to make other peoples lives miserable. shame on them.
People say she has abs but she isn't toned, that is her rib cage
well, she does have abs, when she's not too skinny lol
@@jeyy22t86 no she doesnt, its either a regular stomach or a rib cage, nothing in between
taehyung i said when she isnt too skinny. happiness ice cream cake and dumb dumb were the eras where her abs were most prominent. just depends on her diet and if shes exercising enough to maintain those abs
@@oh4122 2:20 she had prominent af abs what are you talking about?
How disgusting...The so called ‘Fans’ has rights to criticize her. You know when I was a kid most of my friends wanted to be famous and rich. But since childhood, I had never even once wanted it. They have to pretend they are fine, they act best as they can, they got bullied, they got depressed... You have millions of fans? You also have half million of haters. Those singers, famous people are STRONG
