Yet, some comments sparked controversy as netizens noticed that some used it as an excuse to seemingly give the idol backhanded compliments, with comments implying that Jeongyeon is “back” to old times and that’s why she looks so good, seemingly being linked to her weight.
However, one OP is going viral for sharing the sentiment of many fans. In the video, the fan shared anger that netizens are saying “Jeongyeon is back” and phrases like that, hitting back at the disrespect, implying that Jeongyeon had ever been anything but beautiful in the past.

The OP added that specifically, he hated that this was all linked to comments talking about Jeongyeon’s weight loss.
Many fans agreed, hating how fans tried to equate a certain image to being beautiful when Jeongyeon has always dazzled fans with her visuals.
