Nako Article

From the outside looking in, idols may seem like pure perfection from head to toe. However, that doesn’t mean many of them don’t suffer from body image struggles just like the rest of us. One such idol was former IZ*ONE member and HKT48 J-Pop star Yabuki Nako, who opened up about her issues with body image in a recent interview with Yahoo! News Voice.

IZ*ONE’s youngest members, Jang Wonyoung and An Yujin, have always had a reputation for being surprisingly tall. 17-year-old Wonyoung is estimated to be between 171 and 173cm tall, while 18-year-old Yujin was 170cm tall last time she revealed her height measurement to fans.

Many of their fellow group members, however, were a lot shorter—particularly Nako. When she joined the group, her official height was 149cm (4 feet 11 inches), making her around 20 centimeters (8 inches) shorter than Wonyoung and Yujin, and 14 centimeters (5.5 inches) shorter than the average South Korean woman.

And, while most IZ*ONE fans pay no mind to Nako’s height, the star herself didn’t always have an easy time with it. “I was worried about my short stature,” she explained, adding, “there weren’t many Korean idol groups who were short.” Nako was, in fact, considered the shortest female K-Pop idol during her time in IZ*ONE.

Nako went on to say that because of her height, she was worried she would affect the group’s image while dancing. “To be honest,” she says, “I was always worried about what to do.”

But thankfully, Nako had to support of her fellow IZ*ONE members to help her through. The star revealed, “The Korean members said, ‘I never notice your height when you’re dancing.’” On top of that, they told Nako, “You’re so cute, even when you’re just breathing,” and “I’m grateful to have you here.”

Ultimately, irrespective of her height, Nako went on to become a star K-Pop performer, much loved by fans around the world.

It’s been a long time since HKT48 J-Pop idol Yabuki Nako came to South Korea ahead of Mnet‘s 2018 survival show Produce 48. In the years since then, she’s enjoying incredible success and strong friendships as a member of IZ*ONE, with a legacy that will last long past the group’s scheduled disbandment earlier this year. However, when she first became part of the group, things weren’t easy. In fact, she even used to cry in the shower back then—here’s why.

In a recent Japanese interview with Yahoo! News Voice, Nako opened up about what life was like in her early days. “Immediately after the audition,” she said of arriving to compete on Produce 48, “I decided to go to Korea and started my new life without knowing Korean.”

Born and raised in Japan her whole life, Nako was completely new to the Korean language when she joined the show. Naturally, that made life as a competitor (and later, as a member of IZ*ONE) difficult at first.

And the language barrier between Nako and her nine Korean IZ*ONE bandmates wasn’t the only difficulty; it even made learning to dance hard. The J-Pop star says that in dance lessons, she would hear Korean words she’d never heard before. Since she didn’t even know the words for “bring your feet together” or “heels,” Nako struggled to understand the dance trainer, as did fellow Japanese members Miyawaki Sakura and Honda Hitomi.

Even variety shows were difficult. With Nako having little grasp of complex Korean, she confesses that sometimes she didn’t know what the show’s MCs were saying. Instead, she had to work out when to laugh by getting a feel for the atmosphere while recording.

Understandably, the pressures soon built up for Nako—to the point that she used to cry in the shower. Explaining why she chose the spot, Nako explained that the only time she had to herself while living in an idol dorm was shower time.

Thankfully, while early life as a K-Pop idol was a struggle for Nako, it didn’t take long for her to form a strong bond with her members. “Korean members learned Japanese, [and] Japanese members learned Korean,” said Nako, adding that they spoke using each other’s cultural gestures and words. Over time, Nako says that helped her feelings become more “connected.”
