Given how bold and stunning her proportions looked in the outfit, many comments focused on Yuna’s hips, with some criticizing her and linking back to the hip pad accusations.

Yet, it seems like the current allegations seem to be in the minority, as most of the people in the quotes were defending Yuna from the vicious criticism about using hip pads. While some claimed that Yuna already clarified everything, others hit back at international fans being the ones focused on her body rather than Korean fans, which is the opposite of the stereotype that is often pushed.
all the english quotes talking about her body while the korean ones are calling her princess or praising her… but i thought it was knetz that were obsessed with idols bodies https://t.co/Y8d3fDWWJh

She already debunked the hip pad rumors, and now they’re accusing her of having a BBL? Girl hasn’t even had a week or two off from promoting with ITZY…like, that surgery takes months to heal. 😭 HAHAHA https://t.co/NUSKqRQ3RG pic.twitter.com/OZbY4JVoHp

people constantly invasively edit idols’ bodies to exaggerated proportions and get hit tweets about “body tea” but when an idol uses enhancements and actually resembles THEIR beauty standard they bully her to no end. make it make sensepic.twitter.com/dSktJTBfNp https://t.co/LGGgtvSzH7
