Swan from PURPLE KISS became an issue of battleground after being criticized by some netizens for having a slightly different weight and appearance than idols’ usual weight. Because it doesn’t matter to us that Swan weighs a little more than the accepted ideal idol weight, thousands of netizens responded to the critics. It was stated that an idol with a Swan or any other different appearance should be remembered only for his art.
Swan has been criticized by a number of netizens for her “not fit” physique since PURPLE KISS debuted. In fact, Swan just looks a little bigger next to the other members, this is a different feature of her and maybe quite remarkable with her curvy physique.
The girl’s reactions to the criticism of Swan’s weight from netizens are as follows:
“For God’s sake, body shape is none of my business. It doesn’t matter if she’s curvy or skinny. She’s pretty either way. I think she looks cute the way she is… So stop this outdated idea that she has to look a certain way!”
“Go focus on healing yourself and leave her alone. She’ll do whatever she wants with her body. For once, please don’t talk about someone else’s shape?”
“Why do we say her shape is controversial? Personally speaking, I find it very strange that people talk about someone else’s body like that.”
Some Koreans mentioned that idols don’t necessarily have to be skinny, what we call a size 0/zero. They even emphasized that it would be beneficial for idols with images of different weights to create diversity in the industry.
What do you think about it? Do idols have to be size 0/zero?
