In the world of K-pop, idols are not simply musicians. They embody various roles such as trendsetters, role models, and sometimes, they even set the benchmarks for beauty standards.
These idols are perpetually under the spotlight, amassing a skyrocketing magnitude of global popularity. This popularity owes much to the K-pop genre’s far-reaching influence, which has firmly established itself across numerous international territories. However, popularity often comes with its own burdens. These idols invariably find themselves at the center of diverse discussions, with every aspect of their lives under constant public scrutiny.
One of the most recurrent and debated topics revolves around their physical attributes, primarily the idols’ visuals and weight. This kind of conversation underscores the importance of physical aesthetics in the world of K-pop and the pressure these idols face to adhere to perceived societal norms and expectations.
Recently, rising star Kwon Eun Bi has found herself at the center of such a debate. Her weight and height have become a significant topic of discussion among Korean online users, particularly in popular online communities.
The conversations surrounding her physique escalated exponentially when one observant netizen highlighted an apparent anomaly. This netizen raised doubts about the veracity of Kwon Eun Bi’s stated height and weight, casting assertions that the combination of the two seemed unrealistic.
The netizen wrote, “Wow, Kwon Eun Bi’s weight really makes no sense. When I was 46 kg at 160 cm tall, I had no fat in my body and people said I looked like a skeleton so they would tell me to gain weight. But how does she have such a good body with her weight? I guess you have to be born with it. I’m so envious.”
Kwon Eun Bi’s profile states that she is 158cm (5’2″) tall and weighs 45kg (99 lbs).
Netizens commented, “I’m 155cm tall and when I weighed 43kg, I thought I would disappear,” “She has the perfect body too. I’m so envious,” “I was shocked too. Because when I was 45kg, my mom would follow me around telling me to eat,” “Wow, she’s so skinny,” “I think celebrities are unimaginably skinny,” “I think she’s short, that’s why that weight is possible,” “How can she have that body at that weight?” and “I think it has to do with genetics and self-care.”
