i agree, when they debuted i actually thought umji was the prettiest, i was shocked when i saw people commenting she's ugly and such... i was SHOCKED...
Exactly. These stylists are really bad, they only care for one body type. If you are skinny you get the best clothes. If not your body is covered up, often with ugly clothes. Also, Gfriend had matching outfits, which were not suitable for every member's body type.
I honestly will never understand there are so many different people or different sizes in US media and it’s so normal and mostly accepted and it breaks my heart just how intense the hate is there
Makavelli dirty arabs? Us arabs don’t give a shit about K pop stars and how thin they are or how fat they are. We have more important shit to deal with than commenting about people’s weight, which doesn’t really matter here because there are many people of different sizes. Although we don’t support obesity, we don’t condone body shaming either. Fuck off.
@Makavelli What the fuck XD It's been a long time since i last have seen something like that on the internet, i think we're all more mature now. Man, get some help.
Umji was 17 years-old when she debut, still just girl and achieving her dream of becoming an idol. K-netizens were so harsh on her and did not care that she was still young and growing. It's good to see Umji find her balance with diet and fitness. She has mature to a young beautiful women with confidence. I hope see stays that way regardless of what k-netizens will say.
Idk why but the korean idol standard to k netizen is so high. .you must be perfect human being for that spot since so many korean want that spot. .and they see a lot of talented people didnt debut. .but umji is different for shes one of a kind
Exactly. I really don't know and want to know how high the people who say she ugly standard is. What is beauty for them actually? N are they pretty enough to call my baby omuji ugly.?😒😒
@@haqita_iqa I believe that it's the Eurocentric beauty standard, notice how MOST idols that aren't a certain skinny body type with an S line, or who don't have double lids, a pin prick nose, a V-shaped jaw, and/or pale skin are the ones that get targeted as "ugly" ?? Umji is adorable and has a unique appeal among K Pop idols, both looks and voice wise, but people are far too influenced by Eurocentric ideals and thus put down what can be described as "ethnic" features. :/
She was just firstly criticized for being "Fat" and then ppl said her face looked "Ugly" and thats where it started to get worse. In short. If ur "Fat" even if ur cute and Charming, ppl in Korea are still going to place u in the "Ugly Category" the same with Jihyo. So sad :(
Has it never crossed in koreans minds that not everyone in the world is meant to be the same weight and size??? 🙄🙄 I guess looking thin is more important than health to them
Well that's called beauty to them.in Western countries being skinnnly literally dosent meet beauty standards we prefer a more thick or slimthick figure than skinny.but them being stick Skinny and literally starving yourself to achieve that is beauty for them
@Demogorgon trust me if you see most of their diet plan,I've seen and tried most of their diet plan which I stopped . it's not healthy for an adult who needs aleast 1500 to 2000calories to function daily but their diet make them eat about500calories which is very low for an adult.which ever way tho.
Umji isn’t the “korean standard” - but most Koreans aren’t!! It’s ridiculous with this standard. Umji has a unique and cute look, she is perfect as she is, and her personality is so pure. I hope she will gain confidence over time 🙏🏻💕
@@Ava-rd5wv Tzuyu fits at least 80% though. That’s quite a huge amount. She’s around 90%. So she does fit the KBS. Her only drawbacks are doesn’t fit the pale skin and v-shape jaw Umji in her debut era probably fit less than 50%. Jihyo fits 40% but Jihyo is prettier( IMO). I am not a twice fan so don’t call me biased
My poor baby.. I always saw her as the prettiest- her being the most different in appearance a positive ! Just goes to show the contrast in beauty standards :L one's last pick is another's first
Koreans have that ingrained in their culture. All the MCs said something among those lines, like that one that said "you have to be thinner to wear cute clothes" like wtf. It's sad.
Omg same. I lost weight bc of an illness so I wasn't healthy, just skinny. Yet I was complimented by lots of people. This is how you end up developing an eating disorder...
Same! I just started stanning them. After I heard about all this hate to her because she grew me to like Gfriend, my heart was broken by all this hate. 😭😭
K-netizens always want to criticize idols for not being pretty enough but then when an idol gets plastic surgery they also want to criticize it. It’s so hypocritical
It's not all koreans. Dont label them all just because of a few of them are rude. Some American fans ridicule idols who are skinny, and tell them they are ugly, and that they should gain weight. It wouldn't be fair for me to call all Americans rude though because of only a few.
@@MissAbigael02 comparing her old picture and recent, she look same to me. Can tell if someone did surgery and how it change but for Umji case, there is not much different from past. Her feature looks natural
She’s actually the first member to catch my eye because of how cute and unique she looks. She stands out in a good way and it’s heartbreaking to see that she’s gone through so much hate.
Everyone says they're in the entertainment business so expect to get both negative and positive criticism, WELL the negative criticism these Kpop idols face are the most disturbing yet disgusting comments I come across. Imagine dealing with that every single day of your life from debute and onwards.
There is a difference between criticism and bullying too, making an account only to post deaming rumours and disgusting comments is bullying not criticism. 😔
Bella Shawol honestly, chaeryoung from itzy is being bullied by netz for her looks to this day to the point where her mother had to basically tell netz to stop bullying her daughter. Instead of stopping, netz criticized the mother saying that people have a right to tell their ‘opinions’. Netz are trash
I'll slowly be releasing all my Patreon videos the next few months whenever I can catch a moment to breath. I added a little update to include their "FEVER" comeback as this video was originally made back in May. Umji had a pretty rough start, her face to her talents to her background were torn apart and degraded. It's taken a LONG time for people to come around but Umji is unexpectedly the most beloved in the group right now it seems. Umji is looking happier than ever with herself, but I hope it's not at the cost of thinking only the weight loss can bring her happiness and fans. She's pretty strong for taking so much crap yet never complaining.
Kim Yewon was always been beautiful. And her chubby cheeks just made her cute, fluffy and squishy. And haters are just blind and insecure. I dare haters to post their own pictures LMAO
Umji and Jihyo are both my inspiration. I think the two of them really did dieting and losing weight right. It really takes time to shed pounds without it coming back.
this video actually annoyed me, Umji was just 15 when they debuted. 17 in Korean years. A girl of that age needs to eat and will naturally gain more weight bc she is growing. Also, she hardly gained more weight after debut. that's all angles and clothing maybe the occasional bloating but so what??? Girls of that age tend to have fluxuating weight. It is only really since Fingertip era that she lost a noticeable amount of weight. That's also because she probably finally shed her baby fat. Either way her being the way she was is hardly an issue. She was not fat, is not fat, and even if she was she's still a sweet, pretty, and valued member of Gfriend. I think that K fans should get more criticism for how they talk about real living humans. K-fans aren't fans they're just bullies. Honestly, she's just a kid. Let her eat, let her grow.
no seriously these beauty standards piss me off cause when she’s wearing that short purple-ish dress, she looks like she’s at the perfect weight... nowhere NEAR fat 💀
After losing 10 kilos, I look totally different. My face looks smaller and especially my chin is more visible. I lost the chubby cheeks. My clothes size went from L to S. Some of my friends could not recognize me. I believe that she got more beautiful thank to diet not plastic surgery.
True. During the ages 16-18 I weight over 65 kg. Started loosing weight by 19 and got rid of all my baby fat before becoming 20. By then I weight 54 kg. All my friends said I looked prettier but my family disapproved but I like the slimmer me now. That feeling you could finally wear those cute clothes it was worth it.
@Thelondonbadger I didn't go on a diet. I actually am still a big eater. I am just restraining myself from rice and I also played soccer which was a big help but I do agree they might have thought I was fasting😅
I seriously do not understand Korean beauty standards. Umji was always cute from debut. Even now, she doesn't look different to me at all. I seriously don't understand why she garnered such a huge hate following. And when their idols suddenly seem 'prettier' they always go straight to plastic surgery. So fucking ridiculous. She doesn't look any different from debut to now, she was already pretty from the start.
Ginam M But the face looks exactly the same. People said plastic surgery but I cannot see anything different other than the baby fat on her face shed. Getting rid of the bangs and different makeup also made a slight difference but other than that its the same.
*Let's take a moment to appreciate the only person outside Umji's circle who appreciated her visual despite of all the hate comments before, BTOB Changsub*
I first found Gfriend during Love Whisper, and Umji was the first name I learned because when I saw the MV I thought she was one of the cutest girls I've seen. It makes me sad people thought she was ugly.
It's simply bizarre how people decide to hate someone that has done nothing wrong just because they don't like their appearance. And they have no idea how monstruous their words are. I feel sorry for these people, they must have themselves.
Umji was always the perfect epitome of the girl next door look. Beautiful but very sweet and approachable, she was never ugly. Thing is people store fat in different parts of their body and baby fat on your face does not mean you are fat. Whenever I gain weight first place you d see it is my face. What's with people ? Like if you don't like something don't look at it
I'm going to fight whoever tf wrote those hate comments. It's really just so messed up how people can put down people so harshly like that. These type of things can lead to eating disorders and depression seriously and even when umji does gain weight she looks healthy. She's one of the cutest and prettiest idols imo
Since her debut, she has one of the most beautiful bodies I have ever seen in the Kpop industry. Let's be honest, unless you have naturally a skinny complexion due to fast metabolism, etc... (i.e. Sowon or Yuju), It is absolutely normal to store fat because we are women, with hormonal ups and downs. The important is to have healthy food habits and to workout at least 3 hours per week. Following any of the multiple unhealthy diets idols are forced to follow (just for showing skinny shapes and that most of the time are pretty dangerous and may lead to several problems such anorexia and bulimia) is just insane. Please, do not contribute to criticize people (in general, not just idols, but in particular women. Why are we always putting the focus on how women look but we do not do it on men? ) for their appearance. We do not know what is inside of their minds, if they are having a bad time or just don't feel comfortable with himself. I am happy to see Umji smile more often, she has become into a beautiful and smart woman.
why should they care if she got plastic surgery ? she feels so much more confident and i’m so happy. she genuinely is a beautiful girl and she deserves to feel good about herself.
I agree. Also, if she "had surgery"-which we all know isn't true-let's just say she had, for an example (please don't misunderstand), what could anyone do? She would pay for it. Some people just can't accept other people aren't all fit for their high standards, which is ridiculous because standards suck. People can be what they want to be. With standards or not.
Weight does not matter Unless if he or she wants to lose weight to feel more comfortable and that’s fine if it’s a healthy weight loss He or she can still eat healthy and Gain More confidence I don’t even understand why people in South Korea make fun of people or social media stars that are over 50kg or under 50kg Even some overweight people can be healthy Skinny people can also be healthy Skinny shaming should not be put on people who are skinny Fat shaming should not be put on people who are overweight or people with muscular bodies K netizens can sometimes be very cyberbullic The way some act it’s disgusting And staff should not put unhealthy diets on idols But literally sadly some companies care about looks and weight more than health and personalities and talent And I don’t think that any idols or people are ugly they are all beautiful and if you want to lose to feel more confident in yourself you can do in a healthy Don’t listen who people think about your body be your best to feel confident Even if you are skinny or overweight it doesn’t matter What matters is health and personalities
If you mean muscle overweight then yes being overweight can be safe if its because of muscle, but if its someone who has barely any muscle at all and is overweight it's not healthy, ever :/ I'm overweight myself, and not a big amount, but most people who are overweight don't realise how much their fat percentage is. Especially if the person is also short, or VERY tall, because the BMI which most people use actually isn't very good at measuring a very short persons BMI or a tall persons BMI, which ends up telling tall people they're fatter then they actually are, and short people they're healthier then they actually are. And there's a difference between skinny and underweight, so it is true people who are naturally skinny and have a hard time building muscle can be healthy, and people who are ''overweight'' but its muscle and their fat percentage is healthy are also healthy~ But if someone is underweight when they never were, or overweight with a high fat percentage can never be healthy in the long term :) But it is true that the 50kg standard of kpop is ridiculous, since some people also have more muscle which can easily tip that scale :( But luckily Umji figured out what works for her
It annoyes me that Koreans only see the “non-thigh gap thing” or the “big hips thing” and immediately call idols fat just because they don’t have those ideal features. You can be skinny and have big hips etc......
I love how she encourages ppl to keep eating even when trying to lose weight. The best way to lose weight is by exercising, not by stop eating. I'm a new buddy, and I'm stanning even harder now. 💕💕💕
I'm not exactly "in shape" but I really would like to be, I just can't seem to find the motivation to work out or eat healthier. But Umji has really inspired me to do better and be more active, she's a huge inspiration!
No Surgery: "Oh my god, she's so ugly" If she had surgery: "Ew gross, she had so much surgery done" Ok I'm a Korean-American but the fact that K-netz think they can just control their idols lives and say whatever they want angers me. No matter what they'll do, they get criticism.
Umji is so pretty and i love when she smiles because of the cheers on stage she seems to love what she is doing , how can people make her smile disappear just because of her physical appearance >:/
I discovered gfreind during me gustas era and umji became my bias shorty after I was drawn to her cute feature and her soft voice I felt I could relate to her more and honestly I was so nieve to think she got hate and I felt so bad when I did find all the hate comments online with Sulli recently passing I worry about umji all the time and wish I could tell her how amazing I think she is I love you umji
Thanks Umji, you've changed many mental chip KPOP girl whose prototype was ossified, it was old and obsolete. Now, thanks to you, we know that a girl with talent, self belief and work, you can change the minds and tastes of many. Although we pride ourselves on seeing you as you were from day one, and we were able to enjoy your spell since. We appreciate Umji from the beginning. We loved that sweetness that oozed from all sides, that naive, nice clean look that showed every time a video recording or live acting. Eventually, Umji began to dance so well that he began to give prominence to the issues, and his voice grew to the point where we expect to hear him sing touch. It's such a small voice as are their movements or facial expressions, and that is something so beautiful that many want just to be her. Sorry for his enemies, those haters who vent their unhappiness insulting the idols day after day. They give you, haters, your life must be a continual suffering. Umji has triumphed and you continue to be mediocre forever.
I really loved bop bop by viviz and umji caught my eyes in the best possible way!! I saw many comments for umji where fans were praising her confidence. I was confused and this video breaks my heart cause I know why. People could be so mean. I'm proud of umji!!
It makes me happy to see her smile on stage again. I watched her when she lost her confidence, she even called a photo of herself as a baby ugly, she didn’t deserve any of the hate. Her souls so beautiful.
Umji has a unique face for kpop for me. .thats why she get my attention since 2016. .her face in in 2016 is the definition of the word "cute". .shes a baby for me til now
i have only watched almost 2 minutes, and I am sad to read that. umji is not ugly, she never was, no one is ugly (well, only the ones with a cruel heart and soul) umji is so beautiful and talented, she really caught my attention when i first got to know gfriend because of her charisma while performing, or in the mvs
Umji has always been pretty and lovely, inside and out. Her cute charms made me adore her when I first got into GFriend. Now, she’s gotten even prettier, as she seems more confident in herself. As long as she is healthy and happy, I’m glad. Buddy, let’s continue to support GFriend! All the girls are beautiful and talented💕✨
i have been a fan of gfriend from their debut T^T and umji is such a special child to mee. She may not have fitted the beauty standard but to undermine her talent as a vocalist and dancer was what pissed me off the most. she has such a unique voice and was even casted for ost of famous dramas. k-nets attacking a 17 year old was the lowest thing they could have done. On top of all this umji has one of the kindest personalities ,her mannerism are always humble .i hope that she is over all this crap and has gained confidence .Forever a umji stan
honestly i love umji soo much for handling this WHOLE situation very proffesional. Even with all the "hate" she got she still stayed strong and did not give up. Umji really just had to wait for her time to come, and it did.
She's one of the prettiest,cutest,talented& humble Idols.Why are people even criticizing her for her looks if their not even confident to show theirselves lol?BEAUTY IS SUBJECTIVE.
At some point in my life I was probably almost as chubby as Umji during "Me Gustas Tu" era and since I'm a huge fan of GFriend and Umji (she's my female bias, because I could kinda relate to her struggle and she's just a very sweet person in general), when they came back with "Fingertip" I've noticed her change and decided to lose weight as well. We are pretty much the same age and we both share the same problem - chubby cheeks, but since I've lost a lot of weight without any surgery, I can tell that she most likely also did it without plastic surgery. It is possible even if you're naturally a bit chubby and have chubby cheeks. Even though my body now is a little bit underweight, my face still looks a bit fat, but not as fat as it used to be (it definitely looks like I 'shave my jawline'). Umji inspires me everyday, because she is kind, determined and passionate about anything that she does. I'm so proud to call her my bias and thankful that she inspired me to change.
Umji is always a beautiful girl since the beginning it's just mindless people talking nonsense and now Umji grown up and become a confident beautiful woman, our baby-ji💜
Umji is my first bias ever since they debuted, she attracted me the most. I follow Gfriend’s music and activities but didnt know she received that much hate and harsh comments 😢 those people are so toxic. Im glad umji overcame it with her positivity. She’s pretty from the beginning and has so many talents. It’s just that her puberty phase wasn’t really accepted in korean “beauty standard” (which sometimes their standard is not that great in my opinion). So every people has different preferences tbh. I wish Gfriend more success in the future and keep making great music for us Buddy, to enjoy ♥️♥️♥️
She´s literally GROWING, that's why her face changed, plus the weight lost. I don't have my chubby face that I had when I was 17, DUH. We all go trough that. She's beautiful (now and before, always)
Yeah At 12:16 it doesn't look like she gained weight in a bad way, but just went through puberty. Her face during love whisper and summer rain era looked slimmer than it did in fingertip. When I went through puberty/grew up. It's like my cheek bones got higher or something, my face became more defined. And my torso was shaped like a ruler before, but then it became more hourglass like. It's like people don't understand how puberty works.
Honestly she reminds me of Yeri, both because of her looks (they look very similar and are both super cute, I don’t know what the hell those haters were thinking), them both being the maknae, and the massive amount of hate both of them received (especially in the beginning of their careers). They’re both pretty and talented and they deserve more love.
I actually miss her when she was at her heaviest and also with her "worse" styling. She didn't look like a stick like most idols at the time. I was appealed by netizens (both from forums and knetz) attacking her. All of them had to eat their ugly words! When she started losing weight, she just returned to her pre-debut visual but with better styling. She always looked gorgeous, but her confidence and hardwork makes her glow.
I found GFriend during Fever era but the song was Me Gustas Tu and Umji stood out to me the most because of her vocals and she was always adorable Please don’t hate on her
Heard them playing in the kitchen while I was out eating few days ago, and just found them... I think they all are very attractive lady's. I don't see anything wrong with there looks... How dare they call her ugly.
Umji is so sweet and I love her personality. I always try to think of the right way to describe her and I saw a comment that called her stunning and I agree 😭 I remember her stage one glow up with Fingertip. I was so proud of how she rocked that era. Then came her second stage glow up recently and wow, I’m still really proud. Glad she’s getting recognition and attention for more positive things now 💕
umji has been my bias since the moment i saw her for the first time (when they debuted literally). her cute face and sweet voice make me so happy... i never understood (and will NEVER do) how someone could hate on her. imagine getting hated on everyday by ugly incels who dont shower and don't even dare to talk to women irl...anyways i will always support her and love her alongside my ultimate group bts! armybuddy ❤️❤️❤️
Umji always got hate, which with the korean beauty standards didn't shock me at all, but her outfits always fit her well so I thought the height was just cause her face was on the chubby side, which is natural for many people, not because she was considered fat? It's nice that she found what works for her and it seems is also enjoying exercising with her trainer, but as someone who has a similar body build, it must have been VERY hard to lose all that weight :( Glad she got a stronger fanbase though, so they can protect this cutie
I want to see the faces of the insecure people that say umji was ugly
they just jealous because she’s more beautiful then them that’s why.
a-fucking-men
YES 😡
i agree, when they debuted i actually thought umji was the prettiest, i was shocked when i saw people commenting she's ugly and such... i was SHOCKED...
I'm curious too how they face look like
She wasn't ugly it's just her stylist didn't give her clothes, makeup, and hairstyles that compliments and enhances her features and body type
Exactly. These stylists are really bad, they only care for one body type. If you are skinny you get the best clothes. If not your body is covered up, often with ugly clothes. Also, Gfriend had matching outfits, which were not suitable for every member's body type.
@Ell Cally yup
her full bangs in Rough is the worst choice ever!
@@hopedeleon8630 I know,It would've been better if they gave that hairstyle to another member.It doesn't suit her at all.
I think they really want her to look like the baby of the group, hence the bangs. For me she looked quite young with the bangs
netizens must know that k-pop idol are humans not object
I honestly will never understand there are so many different people or different sizes in US media and it’s so normal and mostly accepted and it breaks my heart just how intense the hate is there

dance and at the same time sing and hit their notes haha

she didn't got any surgery... she just grew up, diet and learned to use makeup properly.

Bella Shawol honestly, chaeryoung from itzy is being bullied by netz for her looks to this day to the point where her mother had to basically tell netz to stop bullying her daughter. Instead of stopping, netz criticized the mother saying that people have a right to tell their ‘opinions’. Netz are trash
Honeybun bunkoo even her sister got bullied because of her look during the pd48.
@@kiwihyunz7452 chaeyeon got bullied too !! I find them both , chaeryoung and chaeyeon , very pretty . They don't deserve that kind of treatment :(
Normalizing hate in the kpop community or in general just has to go
I'll slowly be releasing all my Patreon videos the next few months whenever I can catch a moment to breath. I added a little update to include their "FEVER" comeback as this video was originally made back in May. Umji had a pretty rough start, her face to her talents to her background were torn apart and degraded. It's taken a LONG time for people to come around but Umji is unexpectedly the most beloved in the group right now it seems. Umji is looking happier than ever with herself, but I hope it's not at the cost of thinking only the weight loss can bring her happiness and fans. She's pretty strong for taking so much crap yet never complaining.
Thank you for adding a uodate
Can you do Felix from stray kids or seungcheol and seungkwan of seventeen
Kim Yewon was always been beautiful. And her chubby cheeks just made her cute, fluffy and squishy. And haters are just blind and insecure. I dare haters to post their own pictures LMAO
Damn u got me 😂😂
Umji and Jihyo are both my inspiration. I think the two of them really did dieting and losing weight right. It really takes time to shed pounds without it coming back.
this video actually annoyed me, Umji was just 15 when they debuted. 17 in Korean years. A girl of that age needs to eat and will naturally gain more weight bc she is growing. Also, she hardly gained more weight after debut. that's all angles and clothing maybe the occasional bloating but so what??? Girls of that age tend to have fluxuating weight. It is only really since Fingertip era that she lost a noticeable amount of weight. That's also because she probably finally shed her baby fat. Either way her being the way she was is hardly an issue. She was not fat, is not fat, and even if she was she's still a sweet, pretty, and valued member of Gfriend. I think that K fans should get more criticism for how they talk about real living humans. K-fans aren't fans they're just bullies. Honestly, she's just a kid. Let her eat, let her grow.
no seriously these beauty standards piss me off cause when she’s wearing that short purple-ish dress, she looks like she’s at the perfect weight... nowhere NEAR fat 💀
oh yeah, i forgot that koreans count the year they spend in their mother's womb.
‘she had surgery’
she was 17 during debut, you don’t think your face changes from 17 into your 20s? knets’ delusion never fails to astound me.
After losing 10 kilos, I look totally different. My face looks smaller and especially my chin is more visible. I lost the chubby cheeks. My clothes size went from L to S. Some of my friends could not recognize me.
I believe that she got more beautiful thank to diet not plastic surgery.
True. During the ages 16-18 I weight over 65 kg. Started loosing weight by 19 and got rid of all my baby fat before becoming 20. By then I weight 54 kg. All my friends said I looked prettier but my family disapproved but I like the slimmer me now. That feeling you could finally wear those cute clothes it was worth it.
@Thelondonbadger I didn't go on a diet. I actually am still a big eater. I am just restraining myself from rice and I also played soccer which was a big help but I do agree they might have thought I was fasting😅
@Thelondonbadger true. I have friends who do go on and starve themselves but food is such a temptation one cannot simply deny😂
@Thelondonbadger I don't have an IG unfortunately and I also don't take a lot of pictures. Much more during my chubby days😂
Agreed. Eating healthy is best. Vegetables are the way to go❤
I seriously do not understand Korean beauty standards. Umji was always cute from debut. Even now, she doesn't look different to me at all. I seriously don't understand why she garnered such a huge hate following. And when their idols suddenly seem 'prettier' they always go straight to plastic surgery. So fucking ridiculous. She doesn't look any different from debut to now, she was already pretty from the start.
She does look different, as in mature.
Ginam M But the face looks exactly the same. People said plastic surgery but I cannot see anything different other than the baby fat on her face shed. Getting rid of the bangs and different makeup also made a slight difference but other than that its the same.
@@MrChannelforwatching I'm just saying she looks different as in she grew up.
*Let's take a moment to appreciate the only person outside Umji's circle who appreciated her visual despite of all the hate comments before, BTOB Changsub*
he is just so pure and kind 😔💜
I miss Changsib being the president of Gfriend
She was the first member in gfriend that i got interested in. She's really pretty..haters only hate cuz She's much more prettier than them 🙄
I first found Gfriend during Love Whisper, and Umji was the first name I learned because when I saw the MV I thought she was one of the cutest girls I've seen. It makes me sad people thought she was ugly.
It's simply bizarre how people decide to hate someone that has done nothing wrong just because they don't like their appearance. And they have no idea how monstruous their words are. I feel sorry for these people, they must have themselves.
honestly
Umji was always the perfect epitome of the girl next door look.
Beautiful but very sweet and approachable, she was never ugly.
Thing is people store fat in different parts of their body and baby fat on your face does not mean you are fat. Whenever I gain weight first place you d see it is my face. What's with people ?
Like if you don't like something don't look at it
Tbh her straight bangs during Rough is such a disaster!!! It just made her look fat but her body proportion that time wasn't so bad. She looks so fit.
I'm going to fight whoever tf wrote those hate comments. It's really just so messed up how people can put down people so harshly like that. These type of things can lead to eating disorders and depression seriously and even when umji does gain weight she looks healthy. She's one of the cutest and prettiest idols imo
Since her debut, she has one of the most beautiful bodies I have ever seen in the Kpop industry. Let's be honest, unless you have naturally a skinny complexion due to fast metabolism, etc... (i.e. Sowon or Yuju), It is absolutely normal to store fat because we are women, with hormonal ups and downs. The important is to have healthy food habits and to workout at least 3 hours per week.
Following any of the multiple unhealthy diets idols are forced to follow (just for showing skinny shapes and that most of the time are pretty dangerous and may lead to several problems such anorexia and bulimia) is just insane.
Please, do not contribute to criticize people (in general, not just idols, but in particular women. Why are we always putting the focus on how women look but we do not do it on men? ) for their appearance. We do not know what is inside of their minds, if they are having a bad time or just don't feel comfortable with himself.
I am happy to see Umji smile more often, she has become into a beautiful and smart woman.
Agree. She looks a lot healthier.
besides that yes fat storage is normal an healthy, umji was still a child back then, she was damn cute, she still is but with more edge lol
Eunha and Umji bodies in Gfriend is such a Goal
why should they care if she got plastic surgery ? she feels so much more confident and i’m so happy. she genuinely is a beautiful girl and she deserves to feel good about herself.
I agree. Also, if she "had surgery"-which we all know isn't true-let's just say she had, for an example (please don't misunderstand), what could anyone do? She would pay for it. Some people just can't accept other people aren't all fit for their high standards, which is ridiculous because standards suck. People can be what they want to be. With standards or not.
Weight does not matter
Unless if he or she wants to lose weight to feel more comfortable and that’s fine if it’s a healthy weight loss
He or she can still eat healthy and Gain More confidence
I don’t even understand why people in South Korea make fun of people or social media stars that are over 50kg or under 50kg
Even some overweight people can be healthy
Skinny people can also be healthy
Skinny shaming should not be put on people who are skinny
Fat shaming should not be put on people who are overweight or people with muscular bodies
K netizens can sometimes be very cyberbullic
The way some act it’s disgusting
And staff should not put unhealthy diets on idols
But literally sadly some companies care about looks and weight more than health and personalities and talent
And I don’t think that any idols or people are ugly they are all beautiful and if you want to lose to feel more confident in yourself you can do in a healthy
Don’t listen who people think about your body be your best to feel confident
Even if you are skinny or overweight it doesn’t matter
What matters is health and personalities
If you mean muscle overweight then yes being overweight can be safe if its because of muscle, but if its someone who has barely any muscle at all and is overweight it's not healthy, ever :/ I'm overweight myself, and not a big amount, but most people who are overweight don't realise how much their fat percentage is. Especially if the person is also short, or VERY tall, because the BMI which most people use actually isn't very good at measuring a very short persons BMI or a tall persons BMI, which ends up telling tall people they're fatter then they actually are, and short people they're healthier then they actually are.
And there's a difference between skinny and underweight, so it is true people who are naturally skinny and have a hard time building muscle can be healthy, and people who are ''overweight'' but its muscle and their fat percentage is healthy are also healthy~ But if someone is underweight when they never were, or overweight with a high fat percentage can never be healthy in the long term :)
But it is true that the 50kg standard of kpop is ridiculous, since some people also have more muscle which can easily tip that scale :( But luckily Umji figured out what works for her
kurochi chan ikr and I do mean muscle overweight and overweight
It annoyes me that Koreans only see the “non-thigh gap thing” or the “big hips thing” and immediately call idols fat just because they don’t have those ideal features. You can be skinny and have big hips etc......
they had to understand that umji was only 17!!! when she debuted, she was still going through puberty
15 actually. 17 in korea
they count the year when the baby's in the womb in korea, so she technically was 15. Between 15 and 20, every one grows a lot and changes.
I love how she encourages ppl to keep eating even when trying to lose weight. The best way to lose weight is by exercising, not by stop eating. I'm a new buddy, and I'm stanning even harder now. 💕💕💕
How could you not like Umji? She was such a cutie, but now she've become a woman a beautiful one!
she is boring and has no charisma. she weakly sings and dances. and I better not talk about her looks ... how she debuted ...
@@chloeprice7159 No❤️, but go off. That was expected from someone with a pea-sized brain.
@@chloeprice7159 shut up please I hate people like you hating on people for what being a human imao
It was really nice seeing someone like her with her body features. Her “chubby” cheeks made me feel really nice about my own chubby cheeks.
This breaks my heart, like she was so young when she debuted. She's so talented, prettt and kind hearted. How can people be so nasty towards her.
I'm not exactly "in shape" but I really would like to be, I just can't seem to find the motivation to work out or eat healthier. But Umji has really inspired me to do better and be more active, she's a huge inspiration!
I saw Mago videos and she became the one I recognized the most. She’s pretty and I like her aura.
All this hate made Umji grow as a person. But what matters is that now she looks happier and more confident. Love always Umji and all Gfriend.
“her singing sucks”
umji in ggg rough ballad ver : hold my salad please
but seriously her vocal very very very improving THATS MY BABY
No Surgery: "Oh my god, she's so ugly"
If she had surgery: "Ew gross, she had so much surgery done"
Ok I'm a Korean-American but the fact that K-netz think they can just control their idols lives and say whatever they want angers me. No matter what they'll do, they get criticism.
I'd like to say thank you to Umji for being the strongest
Her body does not look really heavy, i think her face is just circular that she looks heavy. To be honest, I think her body is very realistic.
Its okay army will protect umji and gfriend now
So sweet of you 😍
Umj is the perfect success story, no extreme measures, a healthy mindset, the confidence to match, and we still recognize her as our baby Umji!
Umji is so pretty and i love when she smiles because of the cheers on stage she seems to love what she is doing , how can people make her smile disappear just because of her physical appearance >:/
I discovered gfreind during me gustas era and umji became my bias shorty after I was drawn to her cute feature and her soft voice I felt I could relate to her more and honestly I was so nieve to think she got hate and I felt so bad when I did find all the hate comments online with Sulli recently passing I worry about umji all the time and wish I could tell her how amazing I think she is I love you umji
Thanks Umji, you've changed many mental chip KPOP girl whose prototype was ossified, it was old and obsolete. Now, thanks to you, we know that a girl with talent, self belief and work, you can change the minds and tastes of many. Although we pride ourselves on seeing you as you were from day one, and we were able to enjoy your spell since. We appreciate Umji from the beginning. We loved that sweetness that oozed from all sides, that naive, nice clean look that showed every time a video recording or live acting. Eventually, Umji began to dance so well that he began to give prominence to the issues, and his voice grew to the point where we expect to hear him sing touch. It's such a small voice as are their movements or facial expressions, and that is something so beautiful that many want just to be her.
Sorry for his enemies, those haters who vent their unhappiness insulting the idols day after day. They give you, haters, your life must be a continual suffering. Umji has triumphed and you continue to be mediocre forever.
I really loved bop bop by viviz and umji caught my eyes in the best possible way!! I saw many comments for umji where fans were praising her confidence. I was confused and this video breaks my heart cause I know why. People could be so mean. I'm proud of umji!!
It makes me happy to see her smile on stage again. I watched her when she lost her confidence, she even called a photo of herself as a baby ugly, she didn’t deserve any of the hate. Her souls so beautiful.
She’s the cutest and healthiest girl in KPop!
Umji has a unique face for kpop for me. .thats why she get my attention since 2016. .her face in in 2016 is the definition of the word "cute". .shes a baby for me til now
AND I LOVE UMJI SINCE D-1 OF GFRIEND DEBUT !!!
Knowing the fact that our idol has faced problems like this make me want to tear apart the faces who criticized and discriminate her😡
i have only watched almost 2 minutes, and I am sad to read that. umji is not ugly, she never was, no one is ugly (well, only the ones with a cruel heart and soul) umji is so beautiful and talented, she really caught my attention when i first got to know gfriend because of her charisma while performing, or in the mvs
The sad thing is that Umji is actually so pretty, and knets just tear her apart for the slightest things
Umji is so beautiful always has been
Umji has always been pretty and lovely, inside and out. Her cute charms made me adore her when I first got into GFriend. Now, she’s gotten even prettier, as she seems more confident in herself. As long as she is healthy and happy, I’m glad. Buddy, let’s continue to support GFriend! All the girls are beautiful and talented💕✨
Umji looks so stunning before debut and after debut i miss you my love 😙💖💓😽💗💜😡😿
i have been a fan of gfriend from their debut T^T and umji is such a special child to mee. She may not have fitted the beauty standard but to undermine her talent as a vocalist and dancer was what pissed me off the most. she has such a unique voice and was even casted for ost of famous dramas. k-nets attacking a 17 year old was the lowest thing they could have done. On top of all this umji has one of the kindest personalities ,her mannerism are always humble .i hope that she is over all this crap and has gained confidence .Forever a umji stan
umji is one of my fav idols she sing rap dance she smart and shes beautiful
7:22 is that first comment trying to be racist?
probably..
They probably called her that just because she is a little tan. It’s super racist.
It's colorism not racism
“I’m not trying to hate” 💀
honestly i love umji soo much for handling this WHOLE situation very proffesional. Even with all the "hate" she got she still stayed strong and did not give up. Umji really just had to wait for her time to come, and it did.
She's one of the prettiest,cutest,talented& humble Idols.Why are people even criticizing her for her looks if their not even confident to show theirselves lol?BEAUTY IS SUBJECTIVE.
She's not even ugly. I think she's the prettiest ❤️
I dont know why but her visual remind me of SNSD Seohyun.
Seo has this soft innocent look and Umji has a similar soft appearance.
She’s looks so much happier now. I’m happy for her.
At some point in my life I was probably almost as chubby as Umji during "Me Gustas Tu" era and since I'm a huge fan of GFriend and Umji (she's my female bias, because I could kinda relate to her struggle and she's just a very sweet person in general), when they came back with "Fingertip" I've noticed her change and decided to lose weight as well. We are pretty much the same age and we both share the same problem - chubby cheeks, but since I've lost a lot of weight without any surgery, I can tell that she most likely also did it without plastic surgery. It is possible even if you're naturally a bit chubby and have chubby cheeks. Even though my body now is a little bit underweight, my face still looks a bit fat, but not as fat as it used to be (it definitely looks like I 'shave my jawline').
Umji inspires me everyday, because she is kind, determined and passionate about anything that she does. I'm so proud to call her my bias and thankful that she inspired me to change.
lol I’m bigger than her and still consider myself to be on the slimmer side.. it’s all about perspective and culture i guess
The fact that Umji hid behind her hair literally broke my heart. Some people can be so heartless...
Umji is always a beautiful girl since the beginning it's just mindless people talking nonsense and now Umji grown up and become a confident beautiful woman, our baby-ji💜
these people hate on her because she’s way more successful at such a young age. like, they could never go up on her level
Umji is my first bias ever since they debuted, she attracted me the most. I follow Gfriend’s music and activities but didnt know she received that much hate and harsh comments 😢 those people are so toxic. Im glad umji overcame it with her positivity. She’s pretty from the beginning and has so many talents. It’s just that her puberty phase wasn’t really accepted in korean “beauty standard” (which sometimes their standard is not that great in my opinion). So every people has different preferences tbh. I wish Gfriend more success in the future and keep making great music for us Buddy, to enjoy ♥️♥️♥️
She's my idol!
Umji is a human. Not a slave.
She´s literally GROWING, that's why her face changed, plus the weight lost. I don't have my chubby face that I had when I was 17, DUH. We all go trough that. She's beautiful (now and before, always)
Yeah At 12:16 it doesn't look like she gained weight in a bad way, but just went through puberty. Her face during love whisper and summer rain era looked slimmer than it did in fingertip. When I went through puberty/grew up. It's like my cheek bones got higher or something, my face became more defined. And my torso was shaped like a ruler before, but then it became more hourglass like. It's like people don't understand how puberty works.
Honestly she reminds me of Yeri, both because of her looks (they look very similar and are both super cute, I don’t know what the hell those haters were thinking), them both being the maknae, and the massive amount of hate both of them received (especially in the beginning of their careers). They’re both pretty and talented and they deserve more love.
I actually miss her when she was at her heaviest and also with her "worse" styling. She didn't look like a stick like most idols at the time. I was appealed by netizens (both from forums and knetz) attacking her. All of them had to eat their ugly words!
When she started losing weight, she just returned to her pre-debut visual but with better styling. She always looked gorgeous, but her confidence and hardwork makes her glow.
Even when people called Umji “ugly” I always thought she was adorable I immediately liked her 🤷♀️
I found GFriend during Fever era but the song was Me Gustas Tu and Umji stood out to me the most because of her vocals and she was always adorable
Please don’t hate on her
Honestly the first girl in gfriend I noticed was umji bcs of her cute smile💜
She has always been cute idk what ppl are on.
Heard them playing in the kitchen while I was out eating few days ago, and just found them... I think they all are very attractive lady's. I don't see anything wrong with there looks... How dare they call her ugly.
she was my bias since day 1. We love you umji
This video deserves more for the compilation and information.
Go Gfriend!
She has always been beautiful
SHES LITERALLY SO PRETTY WTF
Im so proud with her, I dont know why people say she ugly, she is still cute,pretty,lovely and kind, I want to hug her>
What that improve most is her confidence, she is always beautiful since the beginning. She is cute and has a lovely personality 🥰
idc about weight i just care for the idols to be happy
I wanna meet those people who say ugly to Umji... I'll be kind I promise 😉
Umji is so sweet and I love her personality. I always try to think of the right way to describe her and I saw a comment that called her stunning and I agree 😭
I remember her stage one glow up with Fingertip. I was so proud of how she rocked that era. Then came her second stage glow up recently and wow, I’m still really proud. Glad she’s getting recognition and attention for more positive things now 💕
umji has been my bias since the moment i saw her for the first time (when they debuted literally). her cute face and sweet voice make me so happy... i never understood (and will NEVER do) how someone could hate on her. imagine getting hated on everyday by ugly incels who dont shower and don't even dare to talk to women irl...anyways i will always support her and love her alongside my ultimate group bts! armybuddy ❤️❤️❤️
Umji always got hate, which with the korean beauty standards didn't shock me at all, but her outfits always fit her well so I thought the height was just cause her face was on the chubby side, which is natural for many people, not because she was considered fat? It's nice that she found what works for her and it seems is also enjoying exercising with her trainer, but as someone who has a similar body build, it must have been VERY hard to lose all that weight :( Glad she got a stronger fanbase though, so they can protect this cutie
19:41 even sowon keep looking her :)
I love Umji as she is now and before she is beautiful and gorgeous ❤️
I love Umji I wish she could do whatever she wanted she is amazing, keep going girl. She's beautiful.
