The topic of weight and K-Pop idols has been hotly discussed, with some fearing it has contributed to “ED culture” or helped to promote eating disorders. Most recently, girl group members have had their posts hyper-analyzed by netizens, with criticism for alleged body checking and other weight-related content.

Many commented on him revealing his weight and rather than commenting on the number, they compared reactions to him doing so and female idols doing so.

On the other hand, many reminded that Jimin is an adult who can manage his own weight, and he has not targeted anyone with his post.
