K-Netz Say Wendy Is "Unrecognizable" After Weight Loss — What’s Really Going On?
Red Velvet’s Wendy just made headlines after throwing the first pitch at a Lotte Giants game, but it wasn’t her powerful throw that had K-netizens talking — it was her shocking transformation. Has the pressure to maintain a K-pop idol image gone too far?
HERE'S THE BUZZ 🐝
On June 22, Red Velvet’s Wendy threw the ceremonial first pitch for the Lotte Giants, looking fresh in a light blue team jersey and jeans. But once photos hit the internet, it wasn’t long before K-netizens were in full debate mode over her visible weight loss.
While some fans praised her for her beauty and professionalism, many couldn’t help but express concern about how drastically her face and body had changed — with some even speculating about plastic surgery and obsession with appearance.
In one of the top-trending online communities, commenters didn’t hold back:
“It’s fascinating how her jawbone is completely gone.”
“She’s so delicate... almost too delicate. I want to protect her.”
“She could gain a little weight — it would suit her better.”
“Her voice is still powerful, but her frame looks scary thin.”
“I’m genuinely worried. It’s giving unhealthy obsession.”
“Why does being an idol mean looking like this?”
MY HONEST TAKE 🐝
Let’s be real: Wendy has always been talented — not just "visual".
In a group like Red Velvet, which is stacked with visual idols like Irene and Joy, it’s easy to understand how Wendy might feel pressured to maintain extreme beauty standards. But this goes beyond skinny — her latest appearance feels concerning, not aspirational.
K-pop's obsession with thinness, pale skin, and perfection isn’t new… but it is dangerous. Wendy’s a powerhouse vocalist, full of light and charm — she doesn’t need to disappear into an unrealistic standard to be worthy of the spotlight.
I say this with love: we want Wendy healthy and glowing, not “disappearing.”
What Do You Think ?
Is the pressure to fit K-pop beauty standards too intense? Or is Wendy just going through a phase like many idols do?
