Wait... wait... wait... okay, now I can start.

Opinion/Rant time again! Hopefully, you caught the joke at the beginning, because for this article, I'll be talking about weight. Let's begin!

Literally my face when reading articles.

It's no secret that idols are pretty underweight, and while some might naturally be that way, most idols do very extreme diets that resort to them only eating one meal a day. That's just downright unhealthy.

While I'm not trying to encourage them to eat as much as they want without taking into moderation, it wouldn't kill them to just eat a little more!

A clear example of this would be Yoona. Last year, she even admitted herself that her weight loss wasn't healthy for her, and some members have been worried about it. Plus, in recent photoshoots, you can clearly see that she's stick thin. Of course, she's naturally skinny, but she still diets, so that's why it may seem that she looks unhealthy at times, as seen here:

Man, those shoulder blades look sharp!

Not long ago, Tiffany had revealed that she was the heaviest member at 48 kg, and all the comments had mocked her, calling her a "pig." Considering that she's 5'3" (163 cm) and 48 kg (106 pounds) and admittedly saying that she's the heaviest in the group... that's a little scary. I'm basically her height and weight at 13, yet my parents still think I'm skinny.

There are other cases that are slightly more intense, like how Dasom from SISTAR had to eat one meal a day for her drama. She's pretty self-concious about herself. She even said herself that if she gains only 1 kg, she won't eat anything. Her body, and everyone else's in SISTAR, looks ideal compared to other idols. She shouldn't need to diet; and if she had to, she could've just eaten healthier instead of starving yourself.

With that being said, I think you can tell that I'm kinda excited for the new SISTAR comeback. XD

Idols, remain strong, healthy, and no matter how many fans out there call you fat, just know that the real fans care about you and support you through thick and thin.

Thanks for reading, remember to fan the article, comment below on what you think of this topic, and I'll see you guys soon! Bye!

kpop4everlover [i]Another amazing article! Still I can't believe that the heaviest out of 9 girls only weighs 48kg and gets mocked by Sunny , calling her a pig.[/i]

snsdlover4ever ^Well, other members other than Sunny did mock her, but you could tell that they were joking, unlike the load of antis all spewing comments to bring her down.

DaniMF I still don't understand how they call Yuri fat, nosense.

Syltre I guess in Asia, they have different standards of what weight is skinny or chubby. In America, one could be considered a small but in Asia, they could be considered medium to large. Asia just has very high body standards I guess.

Shawoltaemint [i]Most of them lie about their weight so we don't actually know what their actual weight is[/i]

kpop4everlover [i]snsdlover4ever , yes I know that , but still , 48kg isn't heavy at all. Syltre , I'm Asian and most people are skinny. Maybe because most of us are short (but not all.) If anyone is Korean , Chinese or Japanese and become idols in any of those countries , they have to lose weight. They have haters and people saying they're fat if they're at a healthy weight. Asians do have very high standards of weight.[/i]

Syltre Yeah, I know. I'm Asian as well. ^^ Idols in Korea, Japan, or China usually have to lose weight because they're becoming [i]idols[/i]. If you get what i'm trying to say. Their companies usually want their idols to have a skinny or really fit body. And so, most are underweight. I'm underweight myself (just a little bit) but it's sad that society has made most to believe that being skinny or underweight is what's pretty.

Gretulee Some idols are saying their weight less, because they have more muscles, even they look really fit, it's possible to be heaver than you look, because of muscles.And Asia would consider that as not skinny if your weight is bigger, even though you look slim. I feel bad for Yoona and Sooyoung. I actually love skinny body a lot, but they are way too skinny, is only bones are that pretty? I prefer skinny body, but more like Jessica's, she is really slim, but still feminine, you know what I mean.

snsd_hyo i'm asian too.. i'm 18, my height is 5'3 and my weight is 44kg. my parents also said that i'm skinning :(

Gretulee As asian I think you're normal, since many asians are too skinny and still healthy, but you should gain 1 or 2kg, it wouldn't be too bad.

Syltre @ snsd_hyo Wow you're really skinny :O I'm 14 and 5'2 and I weigh 45 kg. I also agree with Gretulee, gaining a few pounds will be good for you ^^ My parents say I need to eat more so they always give me giant bowls of rice and lots of meat XD
