How you guys feel about kpop female idols wearing hippads?

They seem really sweaty

I thought it was fun when Spica wore them for a specific effect in You Don't Love Me.

Literally never gave it any thought outside of this though.

It's their own bodies but it still promotes unattainable standards for young girls who see these things. They influence a lot of their young audiences but at the same time it's their bodies.

I feel like what Norway did here would be a good balance?

Norway passes law requiring influencers to label retouched photos on social media

Retouched and manipulated photos are everywhere on social media, and groups in Norway believe that edited images are harmful, especially to young people.

They can wear whatever they want, but just like body plastic surgery in the West, they should be honest about it so they aren't promoting unhealthy beauty standards to young girls. I mean, idols already promote unhealthiness by talking about their 'three bananas and a glass of milk' diet with pride (I suppose they feel like they're 'taking care of themselves' if they starve to get skinny).

look it's not about it + remember that the American Kardashian is all heavily boosted by multiple plastic surgeries

for girls from APink apparently seeing Eunji in comparison to others gave them this idea of naming her like that

I get it you like Eunji, she has a nice body yes but not curvy, she's curvy compared to all these girls who weight less than 45kg

Quote from bartkun

ok but you should remember one thing

Koreans usually ain't that big/thicc like, for example, people in UK, not even mentioning USA

also I've noticed that in few western countries people get fatty and then they say "I have curves" sorry but when you look like that white animated character from Michelin tires commercial you ain't curvy... xD

1- ewww to that fat shaming

2- Korean don't come in one shape

3- she's not curvy, she's skinny like any other idol

Just get a bbl

Quote from ellenote

I think it gives young kpop fans a bad idea, they think that's actually how these kpop idols look and want their body to look like jennies or momo's. I don't understand why they can't just rock their natural curves? but the beauty standards call for curvy hips, so idols have to fit that standard now and wear hip pads. Sometimes its so noticeable and looks wrong.

Same reason they can’t rock their natural faces. Sometimes is noticeable and looks wrong but in the hip pads case a list they can remove

Quote from anonymous-weeb

A lot of idols already bleach their skin, get surgery, and photoshop the crap out of their pics so idk why people act like hip pads are the stick that broke the camels back

My point exactly! Some idols shave their bones and remodel their faces at the age of 16 But the hip pads are the problem? They are only the minor expression of a way bigger issue

Is it any more fake than wearing coloured contacts?
