The idol recently held a livestream, offering a candid communication with fans. During the broadcast, she answered many fans’ questions, which ranged from her thoughts about the idol life to general life advice. She also received a question about her weight loss, asking her about how she did it. The idol decided to address the issue head-on, responding, “You guys talk about my looks a lot…That’s really all you talk about when it comes to me.” She went on to explain that a normal human body always goes through weight fluctuations, mentioning that she had lost around 10 kgs in the past seven years. “Things like that happen, as you age as well,” she added.
🌙: how did you loose so much weight? honestly um you guys talk about my looks a lot, honestly you… that’s all you talk about when it comes to me and it’s a natural thing. people lose weight, people gain weight. I’ve gained weight before, I’ve lost weight before. pic.twitter.com/VRJrJrz111

the point is she’s tired of y’all being so shallow. Sedih bgt sampe dia harus ngomong gini😭 she deserves to be loved for her talent, her humor, and her kind soul, not just judged by her weight. Stop acting like body size is everything! https://t.co/yww40iIAOr
