The late former member of f x has always received a lot of criticism from South Korean netizens because of her appearance. Lose some weight why cant you take care of yourself. In K-pop there are actually two kinds of fat.
Although she has an undeniable beauty she did not escape peoples criticisms in terms.
She rose to fame in 2002 for winning the first season of American Idol which earned her a record deal with RCAHer debut single A Moment Like This topped the US Billboard Hot 100 and became the countrys best-selling 2002 singleIt was included on her pop and RB debut album Thankful. But speculations were rife that Shindong himself fat-shamed women in the past and the Internet is a merciless place when it comes to digging out. Fat-shaming especially has been problematic in the world of K-Pop as well since many idols are put under immense stress from their agencies and even fans as well to maintain an impossible standard of beauty. While its true that K-Pop may be about beautiful visuals people have to embrace the fact that times are changing and what might not have been acceptable in the past should be reconsidered.
