1. [+658] This is an aspect of idol culture that has become completely wrong. We cannot be emphasizing weights that are low enough to be considered medically dangerous. These idols are not able to eat normal meals like the rest of us, and they should not be considered the standard. Encouraging this won't be a good influence on our youth.

2. [+454] Stop starving these idols. They're too skinny as it is.. how can they lose more?.. tsk tsk

3. [+397] Is their agency insane?

4. [+208] What does it mean for an idol to "manage their weight" anymore? To become nothing but bones? Everyone needs to step back and think about this. Idols have become way too skinny on screen and people need to start thinking about the consequences this will have on the public.

5. [+155] "Manage yourself" my butt! Companies are constantly demanding that their idols lose weight no matter what so that they can look skinny on the TV screen but they don't understand the implications this is having on our youth in society!

6. [+170] It's scary to think that there are kids growing up thinking that idols are the standard 😮 Idols have become so skinny to the point where it's scary to me now, they need to stop losing weight~

7. [+65] They're pretty without needing to be so skinny... but reality is that they still get a ton of hate if they gain even a bit of weight.. it's so sad 😢😢

8. [+59] Something needs to be done about their CEO

9. [+13] They're skinny as it is! Are they crazy to expect more?!

10. [+3] Ugh... seriously 😡

11. [+2] I heard some idol groups even wear children's sizes... 🙄🙄 I'm so tired of Koreans obsessing over skinniness as the standard of beauty... 🤦‍♀️🤦‍♀️

12. [+1] But it's funny because the Hybe employees are really fat.. ㅋㅋ

13. [+8] I'm not fond of this culture in idols either but if they don't get their weights down, people don't stan them and they don't get popular

14. [+7] Asking someone who is already skinny to lose even more weight is basically telling them to die
