A post that recently became viral on the forum of the Korean community Pan Nate has attracted attention to the proportions of the body of the NMIXX members, in particular Sullyoon and Oh Haewon. The post underlined the positioning of their knees and suggested that Oh Haewon’s legs appeared particularly short in a shared photo, triggering a widespread discussion.
The original poster commented, “The proportions of NMIXX’s body are really bad. Look at the positions of Sullyoon and Oh Haewon’s knee”, adding, “Especially Oh Haewon, his legs are really short.” These comments quickly spread online, with the Netizen who condemn the post for emphasizing the physical appearance and strengthening non-realistic beauty standards in the K-pop sector.
Many fans defended the two members, shifting attention to their undeniable talent and presence on stage, which believed should be celebrated rather than examined based on superficial standards:
- These old people are so annoying. AND NMIXXIs it fault that album sales decreased?
- At the end of the day, their faces are absolutely wonderful, so who cares of proportions? lol. In addition, unlike your goat idols, they are also seriously talented. HI.
- Oh Haewon is becoming more popular these days, so obviously PIG starts to criticize her immediately. This really shows how typical PIG is … but honestly, things like the proportions of the body do not influence girls who are both beautiful and talented. In the meantime, your favorites, which are missing both graphics and skills, can only rely on proportions to promote LOL. Do you really think that people don’t know which Fandom keeps the group proportions of girls on PIG? ^^ Fans of the women’s group are well aware now.
- Have they broken every full mirror at home or are they just watching their body before criticizing the groups of girls?
- All right, The Serafim It is the best.
The accident aroused larger conversations on the expectations of the body image placed on idols, pushing fans and critics to ask for more positive and support discussions that surround the artists. Fans now urge a movement in the way the idols are perceived, underlining the need for respect and admiration beyond their physical appearance.
