K-pop Singers

I know she was briefly mentioned in this thread already but I wanted to add some more pictures for one of my favourite thinspos right now.

For those who don't know, Jang Wonyoung is a 17 year old former member of IZ*ONE but has recently debuted in a new girl group called IVE in which I believe she's lost more weight since her time in IZ*ONE. Her profile states that she's 173cm (5'8") and 47kg (103lbs) giving her a bmi of 15.7 (take it with a grain of salt).

IVE era

She's obviously always been skinny if you look at her past IZ*ONE performances and has been praised for her body and proportions since before she even debuted but recently many netizens have been saying she's 'too skinny' . She's still very young and I'm curious to know where she goes from here and if she will continue to maintain this weight or if she will gain in the future

I came across this video in my youtube feed. While I dont agree with the title, as the weight of idols can fluctuate a lot, which has been well documented - see example here - there are nonetheless some good IRL pictures. Who do you think wins, if this was a contest?

Sunmi and Lisa especially seem to fluctuate a lot and some of the other girls aren’t even legal adults yet so it’s hard to say.

So, from that video, I think Rosé has been the most stable throughout her career. I don’t think she has ever been as heavy as she was pre-debut and working with Vaccarello so closely probably adds more pressure to her to maintain.

My favorite is IU, it’s a shame she struggled so much with her weight and bulimia but she seems to be doing okay these days in regards to her health.

I also think this video really highlights just how consistent Rosé has been throughout her career. She's really one of the only idols I've personally seen that doesn't fluctuate at all really. Plus from things she and her members have said it doesn't seem like she's struggling to maintain nor does she follow any specific diet. I think she's doing good.

Thank you @amorlia & @skinnydiorsaddlebag for pointing out Rosé. I agree that she has been very consistent. What I did not know was that she has been heavier pre-debut. Compaired to the other members, I think this makes her maintaining her weight all the more admireable. Especially since the other members tend to fluctuate a lot. They seems to want to pose as examples on how weight gain can completely destroy a look.

Just compaire these two pictures:

Edit: These days Rosé is really the only member I look forward to see when something new from Blackpink is released. So sad to see that even Lisa seems to be a lost cause.

Found some pretty old pictures of Haeryung from a group called BESTie

Lisa has definitely completely fell off. I was shocked when I saw this post on my feed. I knew she gained a bit before, but it looks like she’s put on more since her solo career. Her thighs especially look enormous here. I’m hoping it’s just some vacation weight and that she goes back to her slimmer figure soon, but I doubt it. It seems like she’s trying to achieve the “thicc” look

Heh, her thighs are sad. I don't have much hope for her, and sadly most K-pop singers. Most of them have thicker legs. Not enough to be considered "thicc" per se, but to me they just seem more, ahh, filled out.

Ugh, such a damn shame. Lisa was actually my first thinspo back in 2019 when I decided being 18.5-19 BMI was just not acceptable for the look I want to pursue. I liked her athletic-skinny look, and I preferred her body to Rose's because Rose is quite hippy when she's not as thin as she is now.

Tribute to Lisa's better days:

Probably hasn't been mentioned since she's from a less well-known group, but Yoohyeon from Dreamcatcher has a super tiny waist and has always been very consistent with managing her body and exercise. Her weight never really fluctuates. (Don't love her legs, but that waist is )

 

[Blueberrie]

I think Wonyoung is just so pretty and elegant. I'm really obsessed with her. Here are some photos from Love Dive:

She looks so cute in Miu Miu:

 

[bingeonvogue]

So many of these girls have such bad plastic surgery face... looks tacky to me, especially on repeat exposure.

 

[skinnyintraining97]

Ok so I’m late to the party and she’s already been discussed in this thread but I just discovered Rosé’s TikTok and damn she looks so skinny. Her legs don’t always look great and puts her dancers (and not picture but her bp members) to shame. I can’t stop staring at her tiny legs and arms- they’ve been my thinspo for the past month or so.

 

[princessar]

I love how Wonyoung consistently makes her group members look chubby next to her. And she is always in the middle so your eyes are immediately drawn to her.

The rest of them are all so average. The power of being skinny is incomparable

I know their legs are always going to be larger just due to the amount of dancing they do, but I'd still be super embarrassed to consistently be dunked on like this.

I’m not sure if they have been posted yet, but I have recently found out and been listening here and there to this group Itzy. They all used to be pretty slim to average but recently one of the members has lost quite a bit of weight and look pretty good to me. Of course, now people are saying they are “too thin”

Here of some photos of her (Yuna) recently. Her stats are listed at 5’7 and 103 pounds but she has lost since these.

and this is the last video i saw of her performing, where people started noticing her weight loss. She is the one with the hot pink boots on. Personally I think she looks great

I've always had a soft spot for Yuna and I hope she's figured out that the fastest way to stand out in a group is to be the skinniest (à la Wonyoung). Generally though, I haven't been too impressed with the latest batch of girl groups:

(ITZY)
Everyone's going after a vaguely "glam-girl-crush" look but no one has an interesting body. The last k-pop body I was impressed with was Rosé when she was performing On The Ground:

Same here. Wonyoung, Somi, and Yuna are the only real skinny girls I’ve seen out of the new Gen. Funnily enough I like looking at the bodies of some members of new boy groups for inspo though! I don’t know if we can post them too but they are usually so publicly pro skinny and disciplined, I love it

Speaking of Yuna, I've always quite liked her arms and waist

I do agree with @bingeonvogue though, the excessive plastic surgery that a lot of kpop idols have does take away from the thinspo a bit, and I would definitely prefer a more natural beauty
