“48KG?” Male Idol’s Weight Alarms His Group Mates And Fans, Sparking Concern

Fans want him to be healthy regardless of the number on the scale.

Weight is a sensitive topic, especially in the K-Pop industry, where thinness is the beauty standard that idols go to extreme measures to meet sometimes. As a result, fans often worry that idols stay healthy when specific topics are mentioned.

After the show, the group went live to chat about the concert, with the topic of weight somehow coming up. Jaemin asks if they should all share their weight, with Renjun remarking that fans might cry if they heard the number. The members attempt to guess despite Renjun trying to change the subject, and state they would be shocked if it were in the 40 KG range.

Jaemin: should we all share?Chenle: I gained a lot of weight recentlyRenjun: If I share, zennies might cryJaemin: Is it in the 50s? 60s?Haechan: Don’t tell me it’s in the 40s? Is it?Renjun: Let’s move onJaemin: IT IS IN THE 40S?Chenle: The 40s?!Haechan: 41 kilograms?Jeno: You could probably fly away if you only weigh in the 40s…Haechan: 49?Mark: I’m going to guessChenle: I actually know the number. I heard.

The members then list their weights, most in the 60KG range (around 134 or 136.6 LBS). Renjun does not share his directly, but another member seems to state it is 48 KG (or around 105 LBS).

Following the live, many fans expressed concern for the idol’s health as Renjun’s listed height is 5’7 and would be significantly underweight at that weight. Many also recalled the criticism he faced over gaining weight previously, another upsetting point.
