In and outside of K-Pop, stars have begun appearing much thinner than previously documented. Certain behaviors and comments from idols, including low body weight reveals, have sparked pushback against eating disorder culture.

A clip from one of his live streams was shared online, in which a fan asked the idol whether she should lose weight.  Wonho answered that 60 kg (the weight the fan gave) was an amount he could easily carry for a very long distance.

The idol also questioned why the fan was trying to lose weight, saying that 60 kg was “really light” and “baby weight,” even.

The video has since gone viral, with many finding comfort in the idol’s words amid the seemingly rising trend of extreme thinness.
