Recently, a netizen in Nate Pann drew attention by making a post titled, “NewJeans, please lose some weight”.

I’m not urging them to lose weight. I just want the members to maintain their appearances like when they just debuted. I know the company is taking care of them in many ways, including their sleep, food, etc., but that’s why they don’t even say bitter things when the members gain weight.
Complimenting idols for looking healthy is not always a good thing. Being healthy is good, but they’re idols, right? Even if they look skinny in real life, people mostly see them in photos and videos. So shouldn’t they take care of their body to look good in photos, too? Except for Danielle, all the members gained so much weight.
Even when the members gain weight, they’re still pretty so fans are quiet because they think it’s still cute and pretty…
They are indeed pretty, but they should take care of their image like other idols. I hope they look different in the upcoming comeback. Even so, I still love NewJeans."
One thing I like about Newjeans is that the girls don't look sick or malnourished like many idols in the industry. They appear healthy, their bodies are not severely thin, which is often seen as the standard. The girls are still young and growing with really busy schedules so they should avoid harsh diets for their own health. This is why Kpop idols tend to be more prone to injuries compared to real dancers; they often lack good nutrition to support their bodies and choreography. I hope nothing changes, and the girls, along with Ador, will continue to brush off these types of criticisms instead of trying to please those who promote unhealthy standards.
