TWICE's schedule is always very busy, this year has returned several times, many people say that JYP is squeezing the value of their remaining labor, because next year their contract will expire, in the remaining months, they did not idle, but was arranged a lot of publicity, so that fans are distressed.
In particular, Yu Dingyan, a member of the group, has made many people look a little worried, this idol has suspended several activities in the middle of the way because of illness, but for the fans, for the combination, for themselves, insist on participating in the publicity activities, so that many fans are very worried. Especially after netizens recently posted her photos, it has caused many people to disagree...
A recent video screenshot of TWICE's extension has caused different opinions
In a recent video, the situation of TWICE member Yu Dingyan surprised many people and triggered mixed opinions. What's going on here? Is there anything different about the idol's photo, or is her photo disgusting to many people? Read on for more details.
Not long ago, on an online forum, a user uploaded a post titled "This is the status quo of the fixed extension, shocking". In the post, the user shared screenshots of twice member Jeongyeon's behind-the-scenes video of the band's "The Feels" music video, and her current situation caused shock to readers.
It can be clearly seen that Yu Dingyan's condition is almost like two people compared to before, the photo of Dingyan wearing a blue suspender skirt, the exposed shoulders are visible meat, compared with the previous backbone, the weight has obviously increased too much, so it is not surprising that many people who do not know the situation and fans have caused different views.
In the past, Jeongyeon was considered one of the thinnest members of the group. However, due to neck pain caused by herniated discs and the treatment of depression and panic disorder, the weight of the extension increases sharply. The sudden change has caused concern among fans, as well as criticism from those who don't know about the idol's experience.
Although the post was originally aimed at Dingyan, many people stood up to defend the female idol. It is explained that if you start taking prescription drugs for psychological problems, it is normal to gain more than 10 kilograms in a month, which is natural. A lot of people asked not to bother Dingyan because she had a lot of things to do. Others decided to simply praise the idol, saying her eyes, nose and lips were beautiful.
However, it has also been pointed out that because she is an idol, people see and evaluate her work through her appearance. People say she doesn't take good care of her appearance and says she can only be promoted because of the love of her fans. In addition, many people point out that for non-celebrities in South Korea, it is difficult to be respected if they gain weight or struggle with psychological pain.
The post received a raft of objections, but comments continue to debate whether Jeongyeon's weight gain is worrying. Such a situation is really worrying, especially as an idol, appearance is an important part, if the weight increases sharply, then the image will definitely plummet.
K-pop forever pain?
Unless K-pop completely changes the nature of the word "idol" it markets, I don't see anything changing, either for a fixed extension or for anyone, and the results won't change. As long as they are seen as idols, they have effectively accepted lifelong scrutiny from fans/critics/casual bystanders.
They feel justified in how they should look (including voice/behavior/show yourself/life/love aspects, etc.). Idols are considered "youth products" and have a shelf life, so people want them to portray themselves as they want to see within their careers.
Korean musicians who don't belong to idol factories don't pay the same amount of attention because their positioning in the market doesn't come from training them to need perfection from the day they debut. The positioning of idols is completely opposite, they are famous for the sake of fame, the purpose is different, the way to succeed is different, so the way people examine it is different.
Put the fixed extension in the spotlight to discuss her weight... I wasn't at all surprised by this reaction. She gained significant weight, and it was impossible not to let people notice. As long as she's healthy, I personally don't care, and if weight gain because of her treatment is a collateral effect, there's nothing to discuss.
And she's a member of one of the biggest successful combinations in K-pop history. The group is currently active (very active). Their fans want her to lose weight as quickly as possible while staying healthy, and they want to see TWICE members look very slim throughout their careers.
I don't want to say any kind of snarky words, but the K-pop system itself thrives on creating this shiny sheen that looks spotless. Fans are increasingly intolerant of even the smallest bit of imperfection, as they have become accustomed to expecting the best and returning after returning.
Idols and fans are already tied together, and the company wants fans to keep up with all the launches, campaigns, fan meetups, merchandise, and many ways to make a profit. In addition to the company's idols, fans abide by their views on what the ideal idol should look like.
I can't sincerely say that their expectations are completely wrong, because this is just the status quo. In the long run, after all the effort and effort, it will put the idol on the verge of mental/physical exhaustion, and it will also drain the time, money, and energy of the fans. So, the biggest winners will always be the companies that make this kind of deal possible. What do you think?
