A lot of female (I hate saying that
) idols have been height shamed. The first that comes to mind is Irene. Of course there are a lot of stans who are like "Awww my wittle uwu baby" but on the other hand I've seen people imply that because [insert pretty idol here] isn't as pretty as they could be because they are under 170cm. Also stans talk about idols like Wonyoung or Tzuyu like tall women are the rarest coming ever and like they are more beautiful than shorter female idols due to their height.
Reply with your opinion, not with "No because _ is short"
Is height important for female idols?

It's the beauty standard to be tall in Korea. Most companies want their idols to be tall and slim. Usually shorter idols are treated like babies while taller idols are treated like models. I think people bring Irene down saying stuff like she could be even more perfect if she was taller, which is so stupid to me.

so like many people here say, it's all about proportions, and there are of course personal preferences
my personal opinion is that height itself shouldn't be a "decisive point" because some girls can be tall and looking like giraffes without TT's etc. so how she is proportional? because she has long legs but is flat as a calm sea?
that's not a great body...
this is why I never get people naming someone "visual" just because that person has "face", it should be overall face + body

height doesn't matter. It's all about being pretty.
if you're ugly, it doesn't matter if you're tall.
honestly i can't feel sorry for a pretty girl getting height shamed.... like omggg poor you.. you're not completely perfect??? cry me a river

proportion usually matters more for women than height, although in extreme cases (too tall or too short) it repels more people

If it was important there wouldn't be that many successful short idols.

I think height only matters if you're unusually short or if your group is much taller than you. I think Nako and Yeojin do have a hard time being taken seriously because of their unusually short heights (both seem like they're 4'10 to me). I've seen vids where both seem to indicate displeasure with being stereotyped as "cute" because of their height. OTOH i dont think Irene is much taller than 5'0" and she's one of the most popular idols of 3rd generation, her height doesnt look too bad next to other shorties like Yeri and Wendy.
