misc.
1. AFTER SCHOOL'S UEE
This idol became immensely popular for providing some rare curves in the world of skinny K-Pop idols. She became much beloved for her "honey thighs," but nowadays, those thighs cannot be seen anywhere. She has lost an incredible amount of weight, now going for a slim, model look with her tall stature. She looks pretty either way, but lots of people are missing her honey thighs and many are also saying she looks too thin now.
2. EXID'S HANI
Hani was launched into fame when her fancam went viral. People were awestruck by her perfect, healthy body dancing to the sexy moves of EXID's "Up & Down." However, with their comeback for "Hot Pink," she lost a lot of weight, making people miss how healthy and robust she used to look. Either way, she looks happy and is as cheery as ever!
3. DIA'S JUNG CHAE YEON
Although netizens haven't been too vocal on this, there's still some concern - from her agency CEO himself! DIA's Jung Chae Yeon has talked about her weight a couple times recently, showing great concern for her figure. She's revealed herself to weigh incredibly little and lose weight in a very short amount of time. As a result, her CEO has relayed his concerns that she's gotten too skinny now, sending her on a food-oriented variety program to get back some weight!
4. SECRET'S HYOSUNG
Another super curvy idol who made jaws drop with her natural sexiness, Hyosung talked about her weight on a variety program, saying how when she was curvy, people said she seemed overweight, but after losing weight, people missed her curves. It's a tough world out there! As long as you stay healthy, Hyosung, just be happy with whatever weight you like.
5. AFTER SCHOOL'S LIZZY
People showed concern multiple times after seeing Lizzy in various events and on TV. She had become too stick skinny, fans said, worrying over whether she was eating enough or was starving herself too much to stay thin. A couple events she attended raised alerts for fans who worried she might be anorexic.
6. AILEE
Ailee was a true diva, vocal prowess and curves and all! After promoting a couple times, she went on a diet to show a slimmer self, but a lot of people were not entirely pleased, missing how healthy and curvy she looked before. The singer herself mentioned the sound of her singing has changed slightly since losing weight but admitted to being scared to go back to her original weight.
7. B1A4'S SANDEUL
A lot of people were dismayed to hear from Sandeul that he was on a diet. He posted a picture of his salad with the announcement he was dieting. They didn't see a need for him to diet, and thought his original weight was perfect as is.
8. EXO'S XIUMIN
At one point, Xiumin lost too much weight so people grew concerned. Since then, he has gained a bit back, but he still does not look like when he first debuted. People are mostly sad because they miss his cute mandoo (dumpling) cheeks, but maybe that's just some shed baby fat that won't ever come back�?
9. F(X)'S LUNA
The f(x) star had a very healthy and fit body, showing her athleticism early in her career. More recently, though, she has gone for the slim 90s look that was popular in the States - she looks like a slim model, not as robust as she used to look, but still very pretty. Many fans miss her previous visuals, though.
10. IOI'S KANG MINA
IOI's Kang Mina is another case of people missing how cute she used to look with a bit more weight on her! She's getting older, losing that baby fat, and tired from constant promotions. She's still as lovely as ever, but fans are like grandparents, going, "Awww, where did all that baby fat go?!?!"
11. OH MY GIRLS' JINE
Netizens were appalled when they discovered that this lovable idol was suffering from anorexia. They were more upset and worried than anything. She had gone into intensive weight loss for the girls' "Closer" promotions that proved too tough, and netizens wished that she would go back to how she used to be, or even gain a bit more, so she could be back to good health.
