Although the post initially sparked fat-shaming comments, many netizens quickly leapt to J’s defense. Commenters criticized the hypocrisy of pretending to care about an idol’s health while actually criticizing her body. They pointed out that J was visibly thin before and now looks healthier and prettier after gaining weight.
Some fans have noted that J’s current figure suits her well, with many praising her for her natural look. Observers who have seen her in recent videos have acknowledged that while it’s clear she’s gained some weight, it’s not an overweight issue. Because of her height, the extra weight just makes her look a bit bigger, but still within a healthy range.
Many commentators also highlighted unrealistic beauty standards in the entertainment industry, pointing out that celebrities are often pressured to maintain extremely thin physiques.
- “I’m so tired of these people pretending to be concerned and then criticizing female idols for their weight.”
- “It’s true that she’s gained weight, but before she was too thin. Now she’s beautiful and cute.”
- “People responded positively to her weight gain.”
- “When you watch the videos, it’s clear that she’s gained some weight. I’m not saying she’s fat; she’s tall, so the extra weight makes her look a little bigger and heavier. People who know her will understand what I mean.”
- “It’s actually her healthy weight. Celebrities are usually abnormally thin.”
