Media and netizens turn hidden insecurities into serious anxiety even if the person is super talented
Exactly
This was the worst to witness in real-time. She was so happy and confident when she debuted and you could see that changing as the bullying continued. I've never seen a fandom bully their idols like Highs did. She was really charismatic though, hopefully people remember that more than the scandal. Pristin was such a shtshow and waste of talent.
The way that the paparazzi and “fans” treated her was down right disgusting. It saddens me how no one would cheer for her during live shows, or how when it would be her turn for photos that cameras wouldn’t even look at her. She’s a talented girl, and just because she has some meat on her bones doesn’t mean she’s “fat” or “overweight”. People seriously need to learn the differences when it comes to body types.
Y’all will use the “she has meat on her bones” everytime and it’s cringe asf. She’s clearly overweight..that doesn’t mean obese it just means overweight.
@@meemaw2200 but she literally isnt overweight? shes roughly an average weight. i will admit stadning next to real slim people can make u look a little more chubby but if ur saying shes overweight then u perceptionon how weight and bodies work is fucked
Ok she was a lil chubby, close to overweight (when promoting), that doesnt mean she cant be an idol and deserves to be bullied tho.
@@meemaw2200 Because...she does have meat on her bones?? And you aren't her doctor, so you have no say in whether or not she's "overweight". She looks to be the average weight for her body type/size, nothing looks disproportionate and she was able to keep up with Pristin while in the group as well. Obviously most humans default body type isn't going to be like hers, and in most cases I'd agree she would be overweight, but just as there are plenty of naturally skinny idols, there are also just some naturally thicker idols as well. It's clear she doesn't have a slim nor petite frame, hence why it was probably harder for her to lose weight/she gave up so quickly. Not everyone has the same body type at all, I thought we knew this by now. LOL.
@한국인 treating people inhumanely because of their weight isn’t the answer bozo
The poor girl spent her childhood becoming a Kpop idol and it all went up in flames in an instant because people are so superficial. She was only a teenager, it breaks my heart.
I grew up in the same town as Kyla and had many mutual friends with her brother and her. Despite this horrible situation she had to go through, she's absolutely thriving now at school and we're all very happy for and proud of her for coming out of this stronger 😊She's always been a sweet and ambitious girl, and I'm so glad that she has been largely able to put all of the hate behind her
I feel so bad for her. She does deserve this! At least she is doing better
If you are her friend please take care of her 💜💗
no tf you didn’t 😂
🧢
yeah sure
I will never understand K Netizens' obsession with visuals and body image. Its insane. I'm glad Kyla is living her life now.
I'm glad to see that despite the disgusting behavious of fans and media, she wasn't actually "ruined". The Kpop dream didn't work for her, but she's still good and thriving, obviously she has a great support system and a good head set over her shoulders. I wish her nothing but happiness.
It's sad because of the double-standard. Idols like Shindong and Kangin from Super Junior can be on the thicker side, no problem - but you have girls like Kyla or Liz who are just built differently, and their body types get roasted. The fetishization of thin bodies in K-pop is one of my least favorite things about the whole genre.
@@kuna9142 Shindong still gets fatshamed and Kangin is no longer a Super Junior member.
@@vixxexo6855 i've literally never seen shindong get nearly as much bodyshaming as female idols get for their body but ok. and on top of that shindong has shamed other people for their body - it's not even on the same level
@@kuna9142 then you haven’t been looking enough lol literally every article on him when SJ was on its prime was him getting insulted, so yeah.
@@curerose6906 i have no sympathy for him because he body shames others.
pretty sure the shindong dude is getting the same (if not, then more) amount of bodyshaming, international kpop stans all over tiktok and twitter are on his neck and dragging him a lot lol. (also afaik the guy was dragged for his body during the peak of SJ, but nowadays the public sees him in variety shows with old ass men more than performing on stage so they just don’t give a shit anymore)
Why are people so cruel :(
I feel so bad for Kyla when I found out she was getting bodyshamed back then, she definitely didn't deserve those malicious comments about her 😭
She is living a happy normal life now.
i genuinely hope she’s living her best life she didn’t deserve any of the hate she got when she was in pristin, she was only 15 and always worked so hard and never lacked
Don't worry she is living a happy normal life.
'Kyla didn't fit into the extremely skinny body type a lot of idols do'. I'm guessing there's a good percentage of idols that aren't naturally that skinny and have to constantly diet, restrict their food or starve thamselves to be that thin - female and male. Even being a normal healthy weight for your body frame and height is unacceptable to Netizens, who I assume also will be more normal to heavier people than skinny underweight people - unless you're only allowed to qualify as a Netizen if you're perfect. I think they'll only know how a targeted, bullied person feels when they have children of their own who get vicious comments about them.
I'm so glad you covered this topic! I always felt bad for Kayla and how the Knetizens treated her, I really hate how Koreans treat people who don't fit in... she didn't cause any trouble for her members, she wasn't rude, she didn't smoke or treat anyone poorly. It's unfair how idols can be cancelled just for their weight, while idols who undergo cosmetic procedures are praised by Knetz for their effort for trying to fit into the beauty standards. So, according to Knetz, not being skinny is considered to be unhealthy, but undergoing cosmetic procedures just to fit in is not considered unhealthy. Where's the logic in that??
You are you talking about a group that disband. They are all living happy normal lives now
Idols get shame for plastic surgery and being skinny. Nctzens and fans are never happy they always complain about something.
I know it's considered "aesthetically" pleasing to Koreans when a kpop idols is skinny, but man she was a teenager, literally a kid(mind you this is how eating disorders are developed). No wonder she never returned
They shouldn’t even debut anyways, her coming to this industry while being overweight and not even visually please on her face was her choice. If you are a public figure criticism is a part of the job
@@meemaw2200 you're not wrong but of only people we're kinder with their words, words could kill you
@@meemaw2200she's not overweight. It's disturbing if you see her and think that.
@@meemaw2200 congratulations on being the worst type of person 👏
And yet they would all be “shocked and saddened” if she ended up taking her own life because of the amount of scrutiny and bullying at such a young age. Jfc
I really hope they don’t end up doing this to Liz too
do people not realize how insignificant someone else’s weight is????? it blows my mind that someone is that absorbed in society that they don’t notice what they’re doing is wrong. take a step back. it’s so frustrating.
The way that the paparazzi and “fans” treated her was down right disgusting.
See and this is exactly why I freak out when these agencies debut these young girls to be idols. People are so disgusting on attack a literal child and don’t care for the consequences. Sucks to say netizens will never learn until something extreme happens to these idols
Y'all remember Edward Avila dragging her also saying she shouldn't be surprised she gets hate because she "knew what she was getting into" 🙄🙄🙄
That Edward avila also started commenting about wonhos music saying he's just a body n his music was better only with His former members n even tagged him at insta.
He started dissing him every other day n shared stories about him. Despite knowing How wonho was suffering n his mental state wasn't in good condition too.
Edward avila is just a bully
@@imissmyshiro7523 literallyyyy he's like a 40 yo bully that wants to hang out with young people to stay relevant 💀 he has so much to say about other's people appearance when he himself musty 🙄 he should shut up already
Ew god I haven't heard his name in forever 💀
Some people really just don't want to feel responsible for the trauma and pain they inflict on others.
He’s 100% correct. She’s not mentally disabled or anything and knew being a public figure meant actually being talented as well as visually appealing and decided to debut looking that way anyways
@@meemaw2200 "looking that way" nahh💀what way? like a healthy 15 yr old?
This is proof that all the Knetizens are the biggest bullies.
Those Korean netizens sound like the school bullies that are infamous in Korean dramas and in documentaries.
experiencing this in real time was so heartbreaking. u could see her confidence go down as promotions continued and when she went back to america i was so worried that she just wouldn’t return which.. she didn’t :/ i follow her on instagram and she seems to be doing well and happy now. i just hope she’s been able to heal from all of this. i can’t imagine getting body shamed by what feels like the whole country as a literal 15 year old :((
she deserved so much better i hope she's doing well
Same thing happened with After School's Bekah, same group who is also under Pledis. She is now comfortably sharing her experience with fat shaming in the KPop industry.
Yeah, Bekah was my favourite member of After School. Too beautiful, I didn't care if she was " fat" or not. She was talented.
This very sad as Kyla is so pretty. She didn't deserve any of this hate. 😔
I know right! When looking at her face I was like "What's wrong with her? She's so pretty"
I was down BAD for kyla in 2017! I supported her to the fullest and she was my bias and seeing all the shaming that was going around about her was unacceptable! I was truly baffled how they treated a 15 year old like that.. i hope she is happier now and moved on with her life! She deserves the world❤
Jeez she was 15...wth...I hate this body shaming toxicity where some weirdos feel the need to criticise an idol weight....yes take care of your self but the entitlement and backlash causes alotbof harm to idols
She didn't deserve to be treated like this... And shame on those who discuss the weight/appearance of idols, how can you be so dirty and vile? It makes my blood boil, like i actually wanna throw hands
we don't listen to k-pop bc the idols are pretty, we listen and enjoy the music bc the idols are super talented and skilled dancers/singers - so frustrating to see netizens only caring about looks
The groups mostly don't even produce themselves and songs are repetitive.
It's all about their looks.
Their entire career is dependent on their appearance.
Don't be naive, kpop stans are all about looks
Image is everything, the idols face pressure from the industry to live up to unrealistic body standards, it is a lot for young idols to go through and it doesn't help if the so called fans body shame them too. Kyla was just a teenager, she looked great, normal weight, she was not fat at all. Being 15 that is a lot for her to deal with but respect to her for staying strong, standing up for herself and not giving in. It's very shameful that her agency did not support her from all that. But Kyla is a bright, happy, confident girl who is now living her best life. Good luck to her 💗❤️
I feel so bad for Kyla, she is just 15. She doesn't deserve this hate 😔😔😔. People can be very mean but this shouldn't stop you from your inner beauty. Not everyone is perfect and I think agencies shouldn't be looking for perfect people, in the end, we all are human and with real emotions. Hard work can never betray you. It's disgusting how people can say such malicious things that too a young bubbly teenager who wants to live her life to the fullest 😤😤😤😤😤. It's her body and her choice to do whatever she wants with it either gain weight or not. Purely disgusted 😠😠 😠😠😠😠
i hate this so much, she never got anyone to defend her unlike other more popular idols.. she was utterly alone it’s heartbreaking
It’s so sad how she got so much hate when she was only 15 years old.
I'm still surprised they had her debut... there's no way the company didn't know she was gonna get insane backlash, come on. It wasn't even like it was so worth it because her skills were phenomenal, so she was just gonna shut them up with her talent. She wasn't bad, but she was just okay in the group. Did they expect the backlash to help them go viral or something? But it backfired? The whole situation was shady.
Literally bullying a child. These people have no empathy smh.
Kyla and I are only a year apart (it's funny we're both studying psychology now, not the point tho) I know how it feels to put down for your weight as a teenager, I can't imagine how it must have felt coming from that many people. It's good to see she's doing well.
I still believe there is way more to their disbandment and I cannot wait for NDAs to expire
I would like to see pictures of the people sending her these messages. I bet they are not "idolistoc"
If having a little more weight should disqualify you as a idol then attacking a 15 year old girl should disqualify you as a human.
NOW, CAN PEOPLE LEAVE OUR DEAR LIZ ALONE PLEASEEEEE
I think she stands out and is still beautiful. I'm glad she didn't let all that hate get to her
“Kyla seems to be living her best life…”
You’re forgetting the part where Kyla said she was worried about having to move back to America (after Pristin’s disbandment) because she was scared of school shootings, and then there was a shooting at her high school.
Also, you lose journalistic credibility when you blur out words like “bullying” and “attacking.”
She was never even overweight which only makes it more absurd, but even if she was there’s no justifying the hate she got.
No one deserves to be treated like this, especially someone who has worked so hard to achieve their dreams. This strong woman deserves much more than a long period of training, hate, hiatus, and eventually disbandment. She deserves to be a world renowned singer. I only care about her health and happiness, and I hope she is happy right now. She deserves nothing but peace and a happy long life.
She deserves better, netizens just project their securities onto others, shame on them for body shaming a young girl
I remembered when she would be in articles all the time but there was literally nothing wrong with her. The article made it worse because the people that shamed her got what they wanted which is attention.
Why are we talking about this now. The group disband a long time ago.
That whole situation p*ssed me off the fact that a 15 year old was going through all that hate. they put the poor girl through hell she wasn’t even fat in the first place people just like to be mean for no reason at all.
I am so frustrated on this topic, when I post comments saying body shaming and kpop industry is toxic on Chinese social media, people always comes back at me with "it's their job to be skinny" and I'm like what? They made me realize how hard it is to change the industry because millions of fans stood by it's toxicity. It's just a bad cycle which harms everyone.
So ya not all international fans supports normal weight idols
lets not forget that prominent TH-camrs and online influencers joined in on the bullying as well... there were not many people that wanted to stick up for Kyla at the time
I remember watching a drama and survival show that when someone sick, in Korea they say that because that person not take care of herself, that was that person FAULT to be sick.
They even said that in front of the person that is sick, instead giving them supportif word to make them happier to fight their sickness.
I think this is too much bad word.
Being sick is not someone elses fault, it just happen. Even when you have the good day, healtier food, good activity in the great weather, you still can got sick.
I don't understand why Korean have this kind of mindset.
This case kinda reminds of Ive's Liz but Kyla's case is even worst people fat shaming is most toxic each year the beauty standards change this industry is so toxic the Korean beauty standards are changing day by day it's so toxic the Korean beauty standards this is so annoying 🙄😡😒
i hope the people who treated her like that get the same treatment back!
I dont know whynpeople always ready to ruin someone life she is so pretty she dont need to lose weight those people had to wash their brain im glad that she came forward and spoke about mallicious comments and im happy she did what she want in her life and doing great
I hope you can always do these kind of videos💚✨
that's just disgusting to treat people that way (especially a teenager) because of their weight.
If people only gave her a chance she would have won their hearts…It shatters my heart seeing how people treated her,I hope she is happy and netizens will stop criticizing her even after she gave up her career as an idol.😭❤️❤️
And the same thing is happening to Liz from ive
it seriously crushes my heart to see people attacking liz, when she’s perfectly gorgeous as she is…peoples obsessions with other peoples bodies disgusts me 🤕
The fact that it's not just fans fat shaming her but also the media and paparazzi is disgusting. Seriously she isn't even that fat! This sort of thing could give her major anxiety. Poor Kyla
What she went through is just disgusting, and she was just 15 yo for Christ's sake. At 2:00, I just can't believe how she manages to remain professional : she keeps on smiling even though the photographers purposely ignore her. That breaks my heart. She is too good for K-pop, I'm glad she is healthy and happy now.
Treat people the way you wanna be treated!!! I wish I was there, I'd have the brightest lightstick and chant her name soo loud! I love her, she's my inspiration to keep going no matter what people think
Recently I was watching a kdrama Idol: the coup,in it a girl group is close to disbandment after years of neglect and downright step mortherly treatment by the agency after they dipped a bit in popularity, the first thing I remembered was all I had read about Pristin disbandment and treatment, it still hangs on my head and I feel so bad for all the girls in the group,their talents were not just wasted but they were even denied an opportunity to try their best, it was snatched from them even before that.
I love how Kayla talked back!! She's is absolutely right the words of others do not define who she is as a person. And her pictures with her and her boyfriend are adorable!! I'm glad she's living a new and happy life now
I hate how people hate Kyla just because they think she overweight. She’s healthy
This is disgusting. The fact people are bullied because of their weight or shape regardless of what it is. What a beautiful girl!
She's so inspiring and lovely💕
She was the maknae. How does koreans netizens think that its right treat her like absolute shit? They done the same exact shit to Sulli (an angel in heaven) and look what happened. The same thing almost happen and if it did, they still wouldn't be sorry. Kyla's famcam still gets hate comments.
Netizens out here commenting on her weight and yet how many of then have a weight problem? Being a celebrity or and idol does not mean you have to look a certain way, the K-pop industry has made it that way, and the idol finally gives in and starves themself they get praised. Even someone like Wonyoung who is dangerously thin is praised for it. Knetz are brutal and have unrealistic expectations.
And they blame agencies and other artists of bullying and mental and physical health.
Watch Me Glow is awesome. It has a Pledis diss track, too. A must listen.
i was getting up from my pc removing my headphone and i forgot to pause the video when i head "she was only 9 years old " i jumped out of my chair and dropped my headphone shes so young . companies need to stop debuing idols so early on
Can you imagine how wild people wouldve gone if her company had come out & said - we are not going to force our 15 year old idols to starve themselves to fit into a toxic beauty standard & those “fans” & antifans bodyshaming a child should be ashamed of themselves”
Theyd have lost some support from some nasty people but wouldnt they have gained a ton too from being the best company ever?
Kyla I'm so happy for you !! Hope you have a well settled life, a life far better than the life u had as a 15 y/o.
One thing is netizens doing stuff like this, but I think it is outrageous that the paparazzi at the fan sign took pictures of the other members when she had her time for solo pictures.
even though netizens behaviour is awful, it has become expected at this point. But when people who are supposed to do their job, start acting unprofessional like this, that is a completely different matter. Those people should be fired for that shit
I wasn’t a K-pop fan back when Pristine was around, but I feel so bad when listening to Kyla’s story. It saddens me that people can be so mean and spiteful for no reason. You’d think people would stop body shaming after everything that’s happened in similar situations like this; but even in the year 2023 it continues.
Not connected to the topic...
Can the audio be louder? 🥺
why are people still making videos about her? she’s a normal citizen now, trying to live her life… lets stop analysing her
i feel bad for her but now i heard shes back in school and i hope shes doing better
I use to argue with people over her weight and it was so sad cause I was really rooting for her and she was just 15 it was heart breaking
People hate for no reason. Like it’s rude, it’s not necessary. It’s just mean and disrespectful. Love yourself regardless what people say. Love you first!🫶
I miss Pristin they were as famous then as Ive now and their songs were so fun and catchy
I still don’t get the thing about people pointing out and shaming the fat in our body.. whats wrong with being overweight? This is just sad and disappointing. “Ruining the visual of the group” the only thing I care about is their talent and music not about their visuals, K-pop is beginning to be all about visuals not about talent or music. Im really glad she is ok now and gained back her confidence again because shaming someone’s weight will never be ok 😕
there’s no way she just “refused,” like she literally was a kid her weight was def not her choice. Did they want her to starve wtf
I’m glad that she’s doing better now:)
Won't say much but both domestic and international Fandoms should grow up. The audacity to bodyshame every idol its way too much like who's damn perfect 100%!??? From Liz now it's Kyla going through some hectic days because of toxic fans 😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠😠. It's her body and her choice to do whatever she wants with it either gain weight or not fans should stop Wilding while trashing female idols, people need to get themselves busy with work or school instead of bothering Kyla. phewwwww!!!!!
I've never heard of her and never followed the group. All the clips shown here don't show a girl obese, overweight, or fat. People carry weight differently and have different body shapes. She looks like she has wider hips/pelvis than is typical of Kpop stars, and some of these outfits aren't styled for her body type, making her worse.
I don't see any extra fat on her stomach and thick thighs don't automatically mean someone is fat or overweight.
The obsession fans have with these idols is unhealthy
One day we will truly find out what happened to Pristin and why they disbanded so early into their successful career, and all the alleged bullying rumours within the group
What is the most great thing is,Kyla still has many people who loved her as the way she is...
I'm so tired of this crap. It makes me sad that women can be so cruel to other women. Support each other, don't be like this.
And yet, epople are now doing the same thing to Liz (IVE). Seriously, these toxic obsessions about weight needs to stop!!!
What the heck? She's absolutely gorgeous. I hope she can take off as a soloist 💞
kyla was, and still is, beautiful. it's a shame that those "fans" are so nitpicky about how idols look nowadays.
I'm not usually one for quoting the Bible but in this case, fans should really take care of the beams in their own eyes before trying to pluck out splinters in the idols'. If you think it's okay to bully someone because of how they look, you're the one who needs help.
They act like forcing the idols to diet is horrible(as it is) until a company allows its members to be healthy instead….
Bullying is just terrible and no one really seems to care
And it’s hilarious how grown adults will bully a child like goddamn
Poor thing. Even when she was out of the group them bum ass ppl were still worried about her. Smh glad she’s doing good just sucks that Korea is so worried about looks than talent.
who’s the girl in the pigtails??
Wasn't there a controversy about Luke (her brother) also? I thought they had a falling out or something
Bro she was a child people are so freaking gross to be able to shame her over literally nothing it’s so disgusting to tear someone down like that
How can people say this about a child???? She is a minor!!! She wasn’t even old enough to drive a car like how are people not embarrassed to be caught publicly saying stuff like this about a child? Do these people’s parents know they are verbally harassing a minor??? I hope their future employer sees their nastiness that they publicly published on social media for the sole purpose of emotionally abusing a child who has never done anything wrong to them personally. I’m not even a parent and this is so cringe and upsetting like who would be friends with freaks that spend their free time verbally abusing minors?
