1. [+427] It's not like the other members are fools for taking care of themselves by restricting food and working out more. I don't understand the shields for Liz. She's not a solo, she's a member of a girl group and she should be respectful enough to the other members by taking care of herself. Why are people saying this is okay?

2. [+178] Even if Lei did gain weight, it only really shows when she's bending over and her stomach folds over so it's alright. She has the type of figure where it's difficult to discern how much weight she's gained, whereas Liz... is honestly getting pretty bad. It seems like a pattern with female idols where they'll lose weight like crazy for debut and then yoyo it back within the next year. There aren't that many idols who are naturally thin to begin with, it's all about managing it yourself. I'm sure she'll find a diet that works for her in due time because I know she's under stress about it as well... You can tell with cases like Seolhyun who gain weight a bit easier than others just how life changing your image can be once you lose the weight again.

3. [+125] If your job relies on your beauty to make money and you fail to take care of your looks, then that's no different from a company employee failing to do their job

4. [+28] Ah ㅠ I've been looking forward to IVE's comeback and hoping for it to do well... please

5. [+70] What I've realized after watching this: that even dance practice isn't enough to make you lose weight (I noticed on music shows that some back dancers are still on the heavier side... and I'm sure Shindong had a ton of dance practice but still remained heavy...) And a lot of physical trainers always say that exercise and dieting are completely different things when it comes to weight loss.

6. [+56] Beauty has a big impact on an idol's career... for an idol to not manage her looks is basically akin to a company worker failing to meet their work deadlines;; People telling her that it's okay is not helping her, it's making it worse. Gaining weight is not wrong but I think she has some things she should consider if she's still like this right before another comeback.

7. [+97] She is so pretty when she maintains her weight... so why won't she...

8. [+92] Liz is honestly heavier than a non-idol like me. Losing weight is not a necessity for the rest of us but for idols it is.

9. [+71] No matter how many people tell her to lose weight, it's eventually up to the person themselves ㅜ I know people like to say that idols live a hard life as it is but that's the life they chose. She's not a solo, she's a group member, so she should be trying to lose this weight harder than she is since her image will impact not only herself but IVE as a whole.

10. [+83] Jang Wonyoung is so strict with how much she manages herself... I don't think fans will ever have to worry about her getting into a dating scandal.

11. [+41] Wow, NMIXX's Jiwoo is on par with Jungyeon...?

12. [+83] Liz did gain a lot of weight but she's already so pretty that she still looks good... but yes, she did gain weight, and she should lose it

13. [+16] If being a good dancer or singer was all that mattered for being an idol, then there would be a lot more fat positive idols out there, right?

14. [+38] She's an idol, it's her job to take care of herself. Too bad fans are blindly shielding her... because it's not the best for Liz in the end. 

15. [+29] As much as IVE is being pulled forward by a few certain members, she is still a part of a group with an image that she's impacting with her choices.. especially with the hot new rookies coming out lately, I feel like she's hurting the group's image ㅠ

16. [+129] IVE fans are worse than the netizens who are criticizing their bodies ㅋㅋ It makes me question how you can be a fan by letting her get to this point and continuing to say it's okay;; makes me think it's because this group has a lot of akgae fans

17. [+130] I am a bit worried about her health because she gained this weight so quickly...

18. [+25] Stomach fat is the easiest to lose, she just doesn't care enough to lose it

19. [+30] I'm fine with fans shielding her but why bring up NMIXX's Jiwoo to compare...? That's really rude

20. [+49] It makes sense that idols gain weight after debut... since I'm sure they're on really intense restriction diets leading up to debut

21. [+30] If your job makes money off of your looks, isn't managing your beauty the most basic of your jobs?

22. [+40] I wonder if she doesn't feel anything while watching Jang Wonyoung?

23. [+14] But she's at a normal weight..

24. [+30] It'd be hilarious if Yeri, Jungyeon, Giselle, Jiwoo, Shuhua, and Liz made a project group ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ will the stage collapse...?
