Former Wanna One’s Park Jihoon is facing mixed reactions after his recent appearance.
The idol-turned-actor recently reunited with Wanna One, sparking excitement among fans. However, some netizens expressed disappointment, claiming he did not manage his visuals ahead of the highly anticipated reunion.
Criticism began circulating online, focusing on his weight gain. They pointed out that with his sudden surge in popularity thanks to his movie The King’s Warden, followed by Wanna One promotions, he should have remained strict with himself.

No, but what’s up with Park Jihoon’s visuals at this point in time where he has to strike when the iron is hot? Shouldn’t he have managed himself more strictly also given that he has to promote for Wanna One?

Another claimed that his only self-sabotages in his career were related to weight gain.

Park Ji Hoon self-sabotage.
Didn’t lose weight for Weak Hero Class 2.
Didn’t lose weight for the Wanna One reunion.

The comments quickly sparked debate among fans. Some defended him, claiming that his next acting role actually required weight gain. He is set to play a soldier.

Well, his last work had him lose weight by eating only apples, so of course he has to gain weight for his next work as a soldier.

Some netizens argued that, given the scale of the reunion and his public image as an idol, more effort should have been made to meet traditional expectations around visuals.
