In 2021, Jeongyeon went on hiatus due to a herniated disc and anxiety (She gained weight likely as a side effect of her medication), making body image surrounding the idol an extremely sensitive topic.
Kpop fans stop being weird towards Jeongyeon and talking about her body challenge GO!!

Kpop fans proving once again they only see women as commodities and not as actual human beings. It’s so disgusting people need to leave jeongyeon alone
