A recent photo of Red Velvet’s Irene has sparked concern after netizens noticed several bruises covering her legs.
The photo was shared on Korean community site Pann, where a fan pointed out Irene’s bruised knees during her latest fansign event.
The image quickly gained attention, with many netizens expressing surprise over the condition of her legs.
Some questioned whether the bruises were caused by bumping into something, while others said similar bruises can happen easily to people as skinny as the Red Velvet leader.
- “Oh wow……”
- “When someone is extremely skinny, injuries like that usually take much longer to heal. Their bones also break more easily.”
- “Couldn’t that spot be from hitting something? It looks like the kind of place you’d bump into a table when getting up.”
- “I have bruises that look about the same, too.”
- “Isn’t that just dead skin or something? She’s not someone who would do things to the point of getting bruises, especially at her age.”
Red Velvet are currently preparing for their upcoming comeback and concert, while Irene has also been busy with ongoing solo tour schedules and fan events.
