[TW: Body image discussion] Yuna

I'm not at all into bodyshaming girls, whether it's because they're extraordinarily thin or thick.

But I saw the recent pictures of Yuna, where her ribs can be counted, and I had to look away. It's too thin.

If she's alright with it and she's still healthy, then good for her.

But to me, it started to look too thin, to the point of it turning risky. Extremes to either side, thinness and overweight, should be avoided if possible.

But I dunno, if she's ok with it, then that's ok I guess, it's her body after all.

patiently awaiting the day we get tw's in the title of these threads. mods?

Gonna be honest her ribs really did show

but it seems like that's par for the course in the modelling industry (for clothes)

She still still seems in a high-performing state so I'm going to hold my comments.

she does look thinner than before but hasnt shown any sign of physical illness yet

if she eats healthy and keeps being active this physique is still healthy enough by human standards for most of our history

btw in vids it looks much better than the pictures

i know the ones you are talking about and those were intentionally increased contrast

that said, its normal to be worried without going into bodyshaming territory

its all on how you say it

The rest of Itzy looked thinner than usual, especially ryujin… I think they might have been told to go on a diet for their fanmeeting

I hope they are ok

What does 'TW' in the thread title mean?

Tbh, there's many cases of kpop idols being skinny because of always dancing and an high metabolism, but this is certainly not the case.

She's seriously malnourished, I'm not sure why fans keep on saying it's the lighting or the fact that she's dancing that the photo came out like that. Until now we've never seen her this thin, so for sure it's not a normal situation.

I really hope she gets back to a healthy weight, for her own good.

Trigger warning.

I think she has a big rib cage. Janet Jackson was rumored to remove some of her lower ribs due to the same issue.

One aspect we don't usually speak on is that idols often seem to see fans concern that they are too slim as validation. It's taken like praise. When idols feel shamed or embarrassed they tend to hide away as much as they can. But with "skinny shaming" if anything - like with Yuna - their photo posting rate seems to increase.
