Popular Rookie Idol Triggers Massive Reactions For Being “Just Skin And Bones”

While K-Pop continues to be a popular genre worldwide, there is a side that is often overlooked amidst the glitz and glamor. Although idols may appear flawless on stage, many hardships usually occur behind the scenes.

Recently, a photo of an idol went viral online for his shockingly skinny wrist and arm.

A photo of KickFlip’s Donghwa sent through a fan messaging platform garnered much attention online.

Although he is holding a bottle of soda, fans’ attention was on something else.

Netizens were shocked to see how thin his wrists were and worried about his health.

• “Do you think he enjoys being like that? Fans like them to be so thin that they look like they could faint due to malnutrition.”
• “We all know if he gains even a little bit, everyone’s going to criticize him.”
• “If he gains weight, people talk. If he loses weight, people talk. What do you want him to do?”
• “If a male idol is 180 cm tall and 60 kg, then he is thinner than most female idols.”
• “If you see him in person, he’s really skinny.”
• “If you see male idols up close, they really are so thin.”
• “I knew male idols were thin, but seeing that photo is shocking.”
