• Netizens defend IVE from body shaming comments over the claims "they all gained weight except Wonyoung and Gaeul"

    K-Pop girl groups gaining weight has always been a touchy subject, and even though they may need to keep up a certain image, it shouldn't be the main focus of a group.

    A group of people online recently put up photos of the girl group IVE and talked about how some of the members had gained weight.

    They went on to say that while other groups work hard to stay in shape, IVE is the only group that has gained this much weight.

    The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Liz has already put on some weight, and it's not clear if it's because of her or not, but Rei has put on so much weight that she no longer looks cute, and Yujin showed up with a lot of fat on her upper body?".

    The netizen continued, "When watching fancams, it looks like Wonyoung and Gaeul don't gain weight, but the other four members seem to dance so slowly. Why doesn't Starship control their weight gain like WJSN or SISTAR".

    The netizen also pointed out, "Even though they don't say anything, fans are the ones who notice these things the most. I wish they would lose some weight before their fans leave the fandom. NewJeans snack on celery and carrots, but they also snack on bulgogi rice bowls and other fatty foods".

    The netizen then concluded the post by saying, "LE SSERAFIM works out often to stay strong, but IVE has gained so much weight in the year since they first came out. I really wish they'd lose some weight".

    The netizen who wrote the post also posted photos to back up their claim that they had gained weight.

    Other netizens quickly responded with comments:

    If you call this "severely gained weight," does that mean you are all obese?

    You're the only one here, and you write the same kind of posts every day. Because of this, we can tell by the way you write… You're older than them, shouldn't that make you feel bad? Even though these kids are at least 15 years younger than you, you always act like you're jealous of them, and you work so hard on those posts that I feel sorry for you.

    I like it, but did you have to write the title that way?

    False. Even if OP was a fan, we don't need fans like you.

    You mean like she put on weight?

    You think that's a face that's gotten fat? If they really put on weight, they'd look like you, with a double chin, and their faces would be buried. But their faces are still pretty. ㅋㅋㅋ

    What are your thoughts on the post about IVE?

  • Fans can't stop swooning over BTS's V showing off cherry blossoms and his toned muscles just 40 days before discharge

    BTS's V is making his fans fall even more in love with him as he shares moments from his life just 40 days before his military discharge.

    On April 30, V posted several new photos on his Instagram story, giving fans a sneak peek into his daily routine.

    Among the photos was a beautiful shot of cherry blossoms, accompanied by the word "cherry blossom" as he expressed his longing for spring.

    He followed up with more photos, sharing how much he wanted to enjoy the season with his fans.

    To make the post even more special, V added background music from BTS member J-Hope's song Sweet Dreams and Design by the American punk band Gustav.

    It turns out that Gustav was grateful for V introducing their music to the world and even received fan comments saying they discovered the band through him.

    In another adorable photo, V posed with CF director Ray J. Yi (Lee Jun Yeob), with flowers in his hair. The director also shared the cute photo, adding the word "flower" to express how happy he was with the moment.

    But it wasn’t all about flowers and beauty—V also gave fans a peek at his workout routine. He proudly showed off his toned arm muscles in a picture, though his face appeared a little thinner.

    This is likely due to his diet, as he’s been working hard to maintain his figure ahead of his discharge. Before enlisting, V weighed 62 kg, and during his service, he reached 86 kg. Now, he’s lost 10 kg and is preparing for his return to the public eye.

    Interestingly, V has been working out at the same place where singer Kim Jong Kook films his popular YouTube channel Jim Jong Kook, sparking fan excitement and hopes that V might make an appearance on the show after he’s discharged.

    As soon as V shared his latest update, his name—"KIM TAEHYUNG"—shot to the top of real-time trending charts worldwide. Fans from all over the globe, including in the U.S., couldn’t get enough of the updates, proving once again the massive impact V has.

    He is set to be discharged from the military on June 10, and fans are eagerly awaiting his return.
