Chaewon and Sakura revealed their waist measurements - can this be real?

A lot of yall are gonna hate to read this so I'll hold your hands a little okay?

EATING DISORDERS

That has to be an exaggeration or a mistake in converting cm's to inches (why dont folks use feet/inches omfg, nobody knows what a meter is ffs, while a foot is so easy to visualize)

The smallest i've ever seen claimed on an adult woman is 20 inches.

Maybe if u are a 10 year old or deadly sick

Ps, I wonder why lied about smth like this tho, is very odd?

this is physically impossible no

This is the woman with the tiniest waist on earth. She has 15inch waist with a corset, and 21 without

oh wow wtf

Possible mistranslation? 17 inches does seem unrealistic.

Saw on pann comments-

it was a mistranslation and that sakura and chaewon said 17치 which means 56cm and it just another way to calculate in Korea, so their waists are actually 22inches. All you in the comments saying their lying for attention …

EATING DISORDERS

We all know this happens in Kpop and in other entertainment industries like modeling, acting, etc.

But what i cant ever understand with respect to Kpop specifically is how they can endure hours and hours of practice, day after day, week after week, month after month during promotions, how they have the energy to dance, variety, TV, whatever that takes so much physical and mental energy.... Like that choreo for LSRM is not easy, girls arent just doing basic 2nd gen point choreo and barely moving, they're actually doing some basic hip hop and exerting real energy. They require real muscles to do this and not get hurt.

So how can they do that while being so skinny with zero fat reserves and then having an ED so their bodies dont get enough energy and protein to replenish them? Wouldnt their bodies fall apart within a month or two? LSRFM has been going on for almost two years, other groups even longer

it’s medically impossible lol 😭 or maybe if they have no organs in there, it can work out???

def a mistranslation as the user above me mentioned. 22 inches makes sense, it’s a little less than size zero but it adds up cause they both are extremely slim

This makes more sense.

Another reason to ban the metric system tbh.

Well yes... but I dont think you can chalk it up to them just being extremely fit. Overdoing workout to lose weight is also disordered behavior, and while I'm not their doctor and cant diagnose them its well known as you said that kpop idols are almost always disordered when it comes to their diets and weight. Itzy also had super difficult choreo and... well you know the rest. I'm just being real, we can pretend that they're fitness queens and this is normal tho

Quote from Catgirl

I meant, the link to the article where they clarified it was a translation mistake

It's not an article. There is a comment assuming there is a mistranslation. But i searched further even on some fanbase tweets, all of them translate it to 17 inches so looks like it's not a mistranslation.

Yeah it's not humanly possible. Maybe they miscalculated it?

I wish these shows stop asking idols their measurements though because people will get angry either way
