my respect for ryujin went up ever since we saw her associating the fact that yes: being slim or having good aesthetics is part of the job, but she won’t allow it to stress her out or take her over with the beauty standards set by someone else. i think it’s a very empowering statement, while still being very honest about the work that she and other idols do.
I agree. There are jobs that requires maintain an astheatically pleasing thin body/face (performers, dancers, idols etc.)and anyone who goes for that type of job needs to accept this instead of whining. I'm majoring in theater dance and i got told i need to lose at least 8 kg (5'7"/60 kg currently) to be accaptable, but i'm not complaining, i choose this, it's part of the job just like being flexible, strong etc. I like the way she thinks about this, very admirable.
@@valentinaespinosa7894 i disagree, 52kg for her height is a perfectly healthy weight. You have to realise that what you lose when going down to that weight is purely non-essential bodyfat, so there really is no health detriment to it. Also because of the high level of activity (thus calorie expendature) that comes with being a dancer one really doesn't have to starve oneself to maintain such a weight.
Yes I do agree. I was not into girl groups but Itzy caught my attention lately. Their image is just... different. They all looked healthy (esp. Ryujin) and fit and seem to enjoy what they do so much. They should be the role model for girl teenagers out there.
@@boomingsystemupup4926 well they don’t seem talented, they really are talented 😄 their dance moves are among the hardest ones in kpop right now. They still need work on their vocals but performance (& dance) wise, they’re THAT good 😉
@@Heungie their vocals are fine tho. their stamina were just low. notice how their vocals are better when theyre not dancing, for ex., the live vocals singing bbibbi. it's really hard to sound nice while dancing intensely.
That’s not true a lot of idols and celebrities might have heaps of talent but don’t have the opportunities or the money. For example Ailee is so talented but her career flopped bc ppl didn’t like her weight loss like wtf she was first fat shamed and then when she dieted under pressure her fans turned on her and started skinny shaming. It’s just so superficial.
I know this was meant to be a positive comment but it is really sad how some idols were not able to get the attention they deserve bc of weight or other minor “issues”
@@brooklyntsang4467 No worries. But, it wasn’t just Ailee’s weight. It was also her own company that did her real dirty. This started by the “Room Shaker” era. They just stopped caring for her and Ailee was left in limbo for a good while.
She has such a healthy relationship towards food and excercise!! No wonder she has one of the most healthy and fit bodies in kpop, she really knows her body well.
@K33B True but I think she has also expressed that she realizes that unhealthy dieting is not the key and she actually does have a very healthy aspect on it
@K33B half yes half no, in most case in fact, our bodies tell us when something is wrong, pigmentacion, acne, weight, energy, etc, are indicators of a Lot of different things so yes, someone body is a Big indicators, as en example, Kpop girl who have tinner bodies but Even after dancing and excercising are not able to have muscles probably don't eat enough or good, your body express it that way
it's sad how everyone praised Ryujin for gaining weight bc it was in her thighs and legs, but bullied Lia to no end for gaining weight in different places of her body😥
Sadly because of their body types. Ryujin gains weight in her thigh area and not much in her face unlike lia whos face easily gets puffy when gaining weight. This is just how they naturally gain weight
I just find it so weird how most of the times idols who are not hated for their fuller figures, just tend to have more aesthetically attractive body types. Even if u look at how it was years it ago, the only accepted fuller body type was the Honey Thighs with slim waist. I like that we are slowly getting more accepting of normal weights in kpop but it’s clear when it’s “acceptable” and when it’s not. It’s still all’s bout aesthetics.
Here's my gripe, skinny to a point where they look sick or healthy to a point where they have curves nobody is satisfied and they'll still bash specifically the FEMALE idols to a point where it's bullying or harassment. Lia actually sparked a discussion as she seemed scarily thin, and I won't forget how much she was bullied for her looks. I seriously don't understand how they want them to eat a leaf of lettuce and do hard dances, or have packed schedules. That's torturous, mind you some idols have in the pass confessed to developing EDs because of the restrictive diets. Lastly, we've lost enough idols due to the S word and a lot of them have mental health problems of some sort. How hard is it to be kind??!
I agree and it's such a shame how society - especially the one they live in - still struggle to come to an understanding of how dangerous it can get if pushed too far. I feel like Kpop has changed a whole lot in the past few years and there has been some improvement when it comes to body image, however, I'm not saying it still isn't an issue. I do think this new generation of Kpop idols will bring so much more improvement than there has been all these years and hopefully more will grow to become confident and accepting 🥺
It’s not just the internet tho it’s the company at fault too. They should do more to make sure their idols are healthy and their schedules are under control. They should also work harder to defend their idols, like jyp didnt do much for lia when she was being bullied by THOUSANDS and this is considering the fact that he also treats his gg better than the bg. I’m sick of people acting like jyp is a saint of kpop and that he has the best company just cause he has a cafeteria.
I LOVE her. During Wannabe promotions she struck me as so strong, powerful, and healthy. She threw herself into every performance. I hope she never buckles to pressure to be thinner, but thankfully it seems most people love her body as it is.
very true :/ according to OP’s video analysis and just looking at society, it seems as if your weight gain is only glamorized in the korea if it’s somewhere like your hips or thighs to a certain degree - fit or thicc with some muscle, but you still look slim type. whenever someone gains on their face, waist or arms, it’s always slandered when those are still very normal places to gain. i just wish people would always remind themselves of the fact that everyone is truly different
@@momoz1 This. It’s only praised if it is seen as making a woman look more ‘feminine’ (i.e. gaining weight in their breasts, hips, and upper thighs but literally nowhere else). If a woman gains weight anywhere else she gets slammed, even though they don’t get to decide where fat is gained or lost because that’s almost entirely due to the shape you’re born with and genetics.
@Mariana Ramos but people werent hating bc they thought it looked ugly they hated bc they assumed it was fake (also not okay) but then you have people like yeri from red velvet who gain weight in their upper body and they get bashed no matter what they weight because netizens dont like their proportions
Ryujin has been another high request since Lisa's video. She definitely seems like the type to know exactly what she wants out of her diet and how to feel/ look her best on stage for performance.
can you do jang wonyoung of izone next? im not saying that she have been through hard times, but for me it's visible that she's losing weight since produce48
Another great video. It would be nice to see a video on g idles shuhua because it seems she had a a similar mindset to ryujin when it comes to weight and confidence
could you do haechan of nct? i feel like this year he's developed a similar mindset in terms of his body but in earlier years (especially 2018) he did a lot of harsh dieting to the point where he was alarmingly thin and weak
I love how 4th gen idols seem to be really mature and healthy about the weight, specially the top groups, which is important because they have more influence in people.
I have also noticed that. Itzy, Everglow, G-idle... They all seem really confident with their bodies and weight. Never once have I seen any of them talk about how much they need to diet or whatever. It's refreshing to watch
Speaking of that, so many specifically female idols are looking way fitter than idols from previous gens. I feel like they are beginning to prioritise health and fitness more than being thin (obv it's still a problem but I don't think as much as it once was) and it's so amazing to see all these idols with abs and muscle looking strong and glowing!!
Wish I could look as good and strong as her at a healthy weight. Sadly, I don't have such good body proportions so I feel pressured to lose weight to be skinny
as long as you’re eating a balanced diet and exercising in some form for at least 30 minutes a day, your body will always balance out to its sweet spot weight where it feels the most comfortable. do not feel pressure to be slim because not everyone is built like that. your body’s GOT YOU, you just have to trust it when you give it what it needs
it's hard because i go through the same thing but I've learnt that crying over something you cannot change is not worth it. I hope you accept your body too. i believe in you
you don't have to have ''good body proportions'' to look good and strong. Good body proportions is just another excuse for bodyshame people, meanwhile you can definitely find celebrities or just average people with what media calls ''imperfections'' and realize their bodies are gorgeous. Also skinny doesn't always equal good proportions, sometimes it can make you look worse (of course it doesn't apply to everyone). As long as you build healthy eating habits and enjoyable exercise routine your body will turn into its best form. Ryujin's body isn't the only beautiful body out there so learn to accept your body the way it is, it's still beautiful as it is :) (and it comes from someone who struggled with ED and hated my body)
@Offler The Crocodile God A set point actually isn't a fact but a theory, and even in that ''set point'' theory, they still say you can change it. The claim of people always gaining the weight back also is not correct, as articles even in 1999 have disproven this. The studies that people use to proof this supposed thing, are also usually not even actual weightloss studies in the first place. In fact in 1999 there already were articles talking about this weird claim going around of everyone gaining all weight back and it being impossible to lose weight, and it turns out they 1. couldn't find the source of this rumour, it's all just made up and 2. They could easily find huge groups of ex-obese people who dieted on their own and had kept the weight of for years to come, and the few people they met who had gained it back were people who went to weightloss clinics and were FORCED to be on diets and didn't do it out of their own choice. Next to that, one already knows that crash diets will not works, and a diet is just the way you eat, and not every diet is a crash diet. If someone changes their diet slowly and their lifestyle, they can easily keep the weight off, however sadly enough people go around and spread severe misinformation that its impossible to keep weight down, and that everyone has a set point that can't change, or that you have to starve at 1200 calories even when you usually eat 3000+ and that will ruin your metabolism. The only thing that is proven is that crash diets will ruin your metabolism, not that diets in general aren't sustainable. If you want more proof about the misinformation that people nowadays, especially from the fat acceptance movement use to say its impossible to lose weight like the 1999 article, check out ''Obesetobeast'' his video called ''Debunking the lies on tiktok about weightloss (with proof)'', and unlike the tiktok video he actually shows the articles and proof fully so you can read along.
Check out Natacha Oceane! She has a video called ''why your diet isnt working, science explained'' and another ''how i get lean on 2500+ cals''. Both show scientific sources on weightloss, metabolism etc. And she herself went from eating 1400 kcals whilst running marathons just to stay in a calorie deficit, to not eating more then the average woman and being leaner then ever, all because she started learning about the important of muscle mass and the impact of that on metabolism! I myself am only 4'11, so my TDEE is 1450 kcals, so if I wanted a deficit of 500 kcals I'd have to eating 950 kcals a day just to lose weight, which would keep going down eevrytime I'd lose more weight, which sadly leads to many people struggling to lose more weight, starving themselves, gaining it back and then also having ruined their metabolism. She also talks a lot about intuitive eating which has helped me with my binge ED and overall her channel is really good if you wanna learn about weightloss thats sustainable, no crash diets, and actually helps you understand why you might be struggling to lose weight or get lean or look as strong as you want! I wish more women knew about this, as it explains the struggles of many women especially really well and could be fixed if weight lifting would also be normalized for women :( You don't turn into hulk, and its really important for peoples metabolisms.
I strive to be like Ryujin (even though I’m older than her) she’s acts just like her name (if you didn’t know her name translated into English means stay real) and that’s exactly who she is. Her body is goals, her dedication is goals, the way she cares for others is goals. We need more Ryujins in this world!
@@lolsmileyface856 Inspiring is the best word to use for her. Yes she’s an idol but at the end of the day she knows she’s just a normal girl. ITZY as a whole is very humble and I respect that 100%
People generally like to see the idol who has "strong" impression to also have a body that matches it. Ryujin is an exceptional badass dancer and girl crush so people will keep on liking her even when she gained muscles, as long as it's still in shape. Same like CL, Hwasa, Hyolyn, basically any other idols with "strong" impressions.
@@MariaSheliaPutri wow, i never noticed that but now that you mentioned it, i definitely agree when i was watching the video, i was wondering why she wasn't getting any hate from gaining weight like 90% of other girl idols, but now i know
It's idols like Ryujin, Jihyo, Joy, Solar etc. Who really inspire me because they know exactly what's right for their bodies and don't let Korea's societal pressures get to them. They all focus on keeping healthy and toned for the long-term rather than just recklessly lose or gain lots of weight for every comeback. That's quite admirable considering the type of industry they work in that really puts an emphasis on body image.
@@davidmes6267 uhmm sir, yes it is. I live in the Caribbean when the thick girls are the one at the spotlight. You can be thick or fat and still be healthy. It's only society telling us about being slim.
@@christianmore9831 sure you can be fat and experience no health problems, but that doesn't make it healthy. obesity is a risk factor in just about every disease and life threatening condition, so it's more a time bomb than actually healthy. I am just talking about health and science, aesthetics is taste, it is not my taste personally but that does not factor in my judgement here.
@@davidmes6267 I'm not talking about fat like obesity and I also put a comment here and it got deleted. I said in that comment " Once you are thick or fat and healthy and not overweight, you are good. Society alway telling us being fine is healthy and fat is not and that is not all the time true" Like I said, I live in the Caribbean, where the thick girls will mostly get the stoplight, I can name some thick and fat singers that can sing and dance good. I'm from a place where that is normal and these idols are healthy.
In my opinion, Ryujin has one of the strongest looking bodies bodies I’ve seen in a female idol. She looks like she could literally do anything. Her proportions are stunning and her thighs looks strong and made for dancing. Hands down one my favorite female idols ever.
@@lyalol2074 Hwasa isn't "strong", she has legit one of the most feminine body types.🙄 It's actually Solar who comes into mind when you speak of healthy body with solid abs and toned muscles.
I’m telling you Ryujin is one of the most genuine, positive, and mature kpop idol (rookie) to ever exist. She has this quiet confidence since debut, where she seems so comfortable with where she is in life. She never craves more screen time than others, doesn’t exaggerate her actions just to look “cute”. Probably one of the most inspirational and healthy idols for the younger generations to look up to. Her self assurance and confidence is quite admirable.
I remember seeing iu itzy on palette. The members said they dont diet too much (or in unhealthy manner?£ because they found it is easier for them to dance better since they have more energy. I love the energy! ❤️
@yoy nono its just eating A LOT of food that makes u sluggish. and closer to dancing. When u have a dance practice or a performance, it's best not to eat before that because that means your body doesnt digest in time and thats what makes u sluggish. So yes, eating well will make u have more energy as long as u dont eat a lot a lot and not so close to exercising
@@marksullivan00 she really does. And thankfully, I haven't seen any Koreans or International fans body shaming her and it should stay this way. I really think soon, there won't be a huge standard on Idols to be skinny 🙃
ITZY is one of the girlgroup who has killer bodies in the industry. They eat as much as they want but burning it with long hours of practice, instead of slimming through diet. I’m so proud of these girls 🥰
She has the most beautiful body, he looks so healthy and fit. And her face is just perfection. Her attitude, her voice, her dancing... Sorry I'm in love.
I'm here because every comeback I see her losing more and more weight. I hope it is because she wants to and not because the company is asking her to do it 🙄
They inly thing good about jyp is that he isnt forcing them to be super thin but hes still overworking them in my opinion just like what happened with twice
Things got better with 3rd and 4th gen. But I clearly remember Suzy (missA) drastically becoming bone thin, the company probably forced her to diet due to knetz harsh comments about her weight.
@@-bluehues-386 i don’t think things have gotten better at all. Super thin is still the norm and many kpop idols cant reach it unless they starve themselves.
I love ryujin!!! she has a very full figure she always looks great it outfits!! she takes care of herself well too. I hope she never feels like she has to loose any or become as thin as her debut days. midzy’s love her as she is 💕
Yh over realized that she lost some weight. But her hips are already wide so if she gains more she will definitely have a wider hips. As long as she is healthy, I am okay. This can also be the choreography because it is intense.
Pear figure, her shoulders are very slim. Sometimes it looks like an hourglass bc the stylists give her short jackets or colorful tank tops giving emphasis to her shoulders and waist, perfect match. Sorry any english error, not my first language, but i think u got my idea
I love the fact that she’s young,yet very powerful! She seems to be in harmony with her mind and body! That why she’s so beautiful not only outside,but inside as well❤️
I really liked that she explained the practical reasons behind why idols being thinner helps in the job (costumes/more variety) rather than it just being vain and about being thin no matter what. She's really mature and composed, good role model!
Man, Ryujin must have it Lucky than other Idols bro. She loves to dance, she ranked no. 1, because of her dancing, she was never pressured for dieting, she was showered with love for gaining weight, but still maintaining a sexy figure, she's still eating healthy, and most importantly her CONFIDENCE. Man I wish I can be like her. ;-;
Ryujin was thin her debut and her face looked sharper. However, as she gained weight, her face and cheeks became fuller and she looks more beautiful. That's why I don't think she has to lose weight. Koreans have a standard of extreme thinness. I'm glad Ryujin is gaining weight for her health. Because dancing takes energy a lot.
Omg just a few days ago I was like “hmmm they should do one about ryujin” and look now!!!!! Thank you for thissss~ Ryujin is my biggest inspiration when it comes to dieting/working out ❤️❤️ Love her so much
I'm here not because i'm curious about her lose or gain weight since as we all know, she always beautiful, charming, and charismatic the way she is! I'm here to see the comments section and it is really nice to know that a lot of you guys supported her. She deserves it.
@@b1oom1ng i notice sm artist especially NCT is more healthy and fit than the past. Taeyong sometime skinny at the past but he gain some weight and muscle now
Honestly I think she just put on more muscle mass which is super healthy and obviously suits her body type really well, people should stop being hypercritical of young girls bodies its creepy as hell
Honestly, people forget that these idols are still pretty young. It's normal for their weight to fluctuate a bit. Especially underage idols, it's insane how much hate they get on their bodies when they're litteral children still growing up. Gaining weight and losing weight is part of growing up.
I actually don't mind her wannabe era weight, I just want her to get plenty of rest and since lately they're so busy and she even has aotm, Im just so glad she eats well and really enjoys dancing
I'm happy someone like Ryujin actually cares about her health instead of how focusing on the fact that "You have to be skinny to look good" or whatever 0_0 Ryujin is a very cool, tmi, fun person. I like how she's herself :D
This idol has something in her character i can't explain. Her character and talent is addicting. She's authentic and original. She's has this trend setter ideal in her. She's magnetic, she can catch your attention. I've never been a fan of kpop before no matter how much my kpop friends tried to persuade me, but when i saw ryujin performing wannabe with her blue hair and healthy thighs, I immediately got hooked. This is what I'm looking for an idol. She doesn't conform to the girlie idols, she has her own popping and locking style which makes her standout because she's unique. Her personality is also authentic, her humor, bluntness, and warmth deep inside is very attractive. She performs without craving for too much attention, she looks very chill and herself. When she performs it's so satisfying to watch cause every move seems so effortless and smooth. She will make it big to the industry. She deserves all the recognition, she's the powerful bullet JYP can pull.
I totally agree with everything you said and i can relate! There's something about ryujin that really stands out from other idols that's why i started to stan her and itzy as well
my respect for ryujin went up ever since we saw her associating the fact that yes: being slim or having good aesthetics is part of the job, but she won’t allow it to stress her out or take her over with the beauty standards set by someone else. i think it’s a very empowering statement, while still being very honest about the work that she and other idols do.

Speaking of that, so many specifically female idols are looking way fitter than idols from previous gens. I feel like they are beginning to prioritise health and fitness more than being thin (obv it's still a problem but I don't think as much as it once was) and it's so amazing to see all these idols with abs and muscle looking strong and glowing!!
It's really nice to see them confident
Wish I could look as good and strong as her at a healthy weight. Sadly, I don't have such good body proportions so I feel pressured to lose weight to be skinny
as long as you’re eating a balanced diet and exercising in some form for at least 30 minutes a day, your body will always balance out to its sweet spot weight where it feels the most comfortable. do not feel pressure to be slim because not everyone is built like that. your body’s GOT YOU, you just have to trust it when you give it what it needs
it's hard because i go through the same thing but I've learnt that crying over something you cannot change is not worth it. I hope you accept your body too. i believe in you
you don't have to have ''good body proportions'' to look good and strong. Good body proportions is just another excuse for bodyshame people, meanwhile you can definitely find celebrities or just average people with what media calls ''imperfections'' and realize their bodies are gorgeous. Also skinny doesn't always equal good proportions, sometimes it can make you look worse (of course it doesn't apply to everyone). As long as you build healthy eating habits and enjoyable exercise routine your body will turn into its best form. Ryujin's body isn't the only beautiful body out there so learn to accept your body the way it is, it's still beautiful as it is :) (and it comes from someone who struggled with ED and hated my body)
@Offler The Crocodile God A set point actually isn't a fact but a theory, and even in that ''set point'' theory, they still say you can change it. The claim of people always gaining the weight back also is not correct, as articles even in 1999 have disproven this. The studies that people use to proof this supposed thing, are also usually not even actual weightloss studies in the first place. In fact in 1999 there already were articles talking about this weird claim going around of everyone gaining all weight back and it being impossible to lose weight, and it turns out they 1. couldn't find the source of this rumour, it's all just made up and 2. They could easily find huge groups of ex-obese people who dieted on their own and had kept the weight of for years to come, and the few people they met who had gained it back were people who went to weightloss clinics and were FORCED to be on diets and didn't do it out of their own choice.
Next to that, one already knows that crash diets will not works, and a diet is just the way you eat, and not every diet is a crash diet. If someone changes their diet slowly and their lifestyle, they can easily keep the weight off, however sadly enough people go around and spread severe misinformation that its impossible to keep weight down, and that everyone has a set point that can't change, or that you have to starve at 1200 calories even when you usually eat 3000+ and that will ruin your metabolism. The only thing that is proven is that crash diets will ruin your metabolism, not that diets in general aren't sustainable.
If you want more proof about the misinformation that people nowadays, especially from the fat acceptance movement use to say its impossible to lose weight like the 1999 article, check out ''Obesetobeast'' his video called ''Debunking the lies on tiktok about weightloss (with proof)'', and unlike the tiktok video he actually shows the articles and proof fully so you can read along.
Check out Natacha Oceane! She has a video called ''why your diet isnt working, science explained'' and another ''how i get lean on 2500+ cals''. Both show scientific sources on weightloss, metabolism etc. And she herself went from eating 1400 kcals whilst running marathons just to stay in a calorie deficit, to not eating more then the average woman and being leaner then ever, all because she started learning about the important of muscle mass and the impact of that on metabolism!
I myself am only 4'11, so my TDEE is 1450 kcals, so if I wanted a deficit of 500 kcals I'd have to eating 950 kcals a day just to lose weight, which would keep going down eevrytime I'd lose more weight, which sadly leads to many people struggling to lose more weight, starving themselves, gaining it back and then also having ruined their metabolism. She also talks a lot about intuitive eating which has helped me with my binge ED and overall her channel is really good if you wanna learn about weightloss thats sustainable, no crash diets, and actually helps you understand why you might be struggling to lose weight or get lean or look as strong as you want! I wish more women knew about this, as it explains the struggles of many women especially really well and could be fixed if weight lifting would also be normalized for women :( You don't turn into hulk, and its really important for peoples metabolisms.
I strive to be like Ryujin (even though I’m older than her) she’s acts just like her name (if you didn’t know her name translated into English means stay real) and that’s exactly who she is. Her body is goals, her dedication is goals, the way she cares for others is goals. We need more Ryujins in this world!
same here! also older than ryujin but she really is one of the most inspiring idols of the 4th gen.
@@lolsmileyface856 Inspiring is the best word to use for her. Yes she’s an idol but at the end of the day she knows she’s just a normal girl. ITZY as a whole is very humble and I respect that 100%
ryujin translated to japan means "dragon" aswell
@@0zelvin you just gave me another reason to name my future child Ryujin, thank you 🙏🏾
This video did not age well…
And why is that
@@rinimarlina2201 because shes skinnier than ever rn
I think the reactions differ from person to person. She gains weight but never on the stomach and face. That’s why she’s not getting any hate.
I agree. I feel that she’s generally quite well adored by k-netizens as well as int fans!!
@@fionateo8384 facts I noticed they choose who to bully and skinny shame fat shame etc but they have favorites
@@strawberrieswhoppincream2744 this is kinda true. Ryujin has always been a fan favourite from the start unlike her other members Lia & Chaeryeong 😞
People generally like to see the idol who has "strong" impression to also have a body that matches it.
Ryujin is an exceptional badass dancer and girl crush so people will keep on liking her even when she gained muscles, as long as it's still in shape. Same like CL, Hwasa, Hyolyn, basically any other idols with "strong" impressions.
@@MariaSheliaPutri wow, i never noticed that but now that you mentioned it, i definitely agree
when i was watching the video, i was wondering why she wasn't getting any hate from gaining weight like 90% of other girl idols, but now i know
It's idols like Ryujin, Jihyo, Joy, Solar etc. Who really inspire me because they know exactly what's right for their bodies and don't let Korea's societal pressures get to them. They all focus on keeping healthy and toned for the long-term rather than just recklessly lose or gain lots of weight for every comeback.
That's quite admirable considering the type of industry they work in that really puts an emphasis on body image.
And hwasa. But the kpop industry is not that diverse when it come to weight. I wanna see fat or really thick idols.
@@christianmore9831 why? It's neither healthy, nor practical for dancing. Did you hear what ryujin said? Its not just aesthetics, it is functional.
@@davidmes6267 uhmm sir, yes it is. I live in the Caribbean when the thick girls are the one at the spotlight. You can be thick or fat and still be healthy. It's only society telling us about being slim.
@@christianmore9831 sure you can be fat and experience no health problems, but that doesn't make it healthy. obesity is a risk factor in just about every disease and life threatening condition, so it's more a time bomb than actually healthy. I am just talking about health and science, aesthetics is taste, it is not my taste personally but that does not factor in my judgement here.
@@davidmes6267 I'm not talking about fat like obesity and I also put a comment here and it got deleted. I said in that comment " Once you are thick or fat and healthy and not overweight, you are good. Society alway telling us being fine is healthy and fat is not and that is not all the time true" Like I said, I live in the Caribbean, where the thick girls will mostly get the stoplight, I can name some thick and fat singers that can sing and dance good. I'm from a place where that is normal and these idols are healthy.
I'm here just to say that Ryujin before and after looks like a whole goddess and that I'm 100% gay for her. I hope she keeps herself being healthy🥰
@Aine Rogers I am pretty sure everyone is
@Aine Rogers Ikr, she is just too charming and I can't get my eyes off of her 😅
@@zitavarga4729 yes, since I saw Ryujin I fell in love with her and declared bisexual, Ryujin is so beautiful!!
she has gotten more mature and muscular💪 since her pre-debut/debut days
agreed
In my opinion, Ryujin has one of the strongest looking bodies bodies I’ve seen in a female idol. She looks like she could literally do anything. Her proportions are stunning and her thighs looks strong and made for dancing. Hands down one my favorite female idols ever.
Hwasa
@@lyalol2074 Hwasa isn't "strong", she has legit one of the most feminine body types.🙄 It's actually Solar who comes into mind when you speak of healthy body with solid abs and toned muscles.
Chae too if you notice
she probably works out alot and eats a lot of food but in a healthy very nutritional manner
with the twenty album she has lose so much weight could you update:)
In this aspect, ryujin can be seen as a real role model. She is healthy and doesn't change her body for the public eye.
She lost all her weight now :(
She lost weight to look more beautiful
@@sebastiansantivanez5540 can you please shut up? You look terrible. You should try to become more beautiful
Wannabe was her ERA and she looks amazing!
Please do an update on Ryujin. Outside of being the skinniest member of itzy now, she seems very unhappy.
She’s skinner then yuna now too?
could you do an updated version?
I’m telling you Ryujin is one of the most genuine, positive, and mature kpop idol (rookie) to ever exist. She has this quiet confidence since debut, where she seems so comfortable with where she is in life. She never craves more screen time than others, doesn’t exaggerate her actions just to look “cute”. Probably one of the most inspirational and healthy idols for the younger generations to look up to. Her self assurance and confidence is quite admirable.
We need 2022 update
I remember seeing iu itzy on palette. The members said they dont diet too much (or in unhealthy manner?£ because they found it is easier for them to dance better since they have more energy. I love the energy! ❤️
@yoy nono its just eating A LOT of food that makes u sluggish. and closer to dancing. When u have a dance practice or a performance, it's best not to eat before that because that means your body doesnt digest in time and thats what makes u sluggish. So yes, eating well will make u have more energy as long as u dont eat a lot a lot and not so close to exercising
Im just here to say if i ever see anybody body shaming Ryujin or any idol, 🏌
me joining you: 🤺
same 🦹🏾♀️
who tf would bodyshame ryujin? im with you too lol, she probably has one of the best healthy and strong bodies in this gen of kpop💪
@@marksullivan00 she really does. And thankfully, I haven't seen any Koreans or International fans body shaming her and it should stay this way. I really think soon, there won't be a huge standard on Idols to be skinny 🙃
Ready 🔪
ITZY is one of the girlgroup who has killer bodies in the industry. They eat as much as they want but burning it with long hours of practice, instead of slimming through diet. I’m so proud of these girls 🥰
yeah it's better to maintain weight through working out that's why they tend to have more muscle mass
Yeah I love how they’re setting a good example for this generation!
Unfortunately this needs an update 😔
She has the most beautiful body, he looks so healthy and fit. And her face is just perfection. Her attitude, her voice, her dancing... Sorry I'm in love.
You need to do a 2022 update shes thinner than debut now
Now she lost so much weight 😔
Need an update on this!!! Super interested in the changes
I guess we have to say goodbye to this Ryujin for now.
We need a 2023 version she lost so much weight!
She lost a lot of weight at her hips/lower body it's very obvious, all itzy members actually lost weight
she seems a lot more slimmer now but she’s still so beautiful😩
she lost so much weight again
Update with her current weight loss? I really like how she doesn't worry or feel less confident weather she loses or gains weight
I'm here because every comeback I see her losing more and more weight. I hope it is because she wants to and not because the company is asking her to do it 🙄
She lost weight again in 2021
Yh I think it is the intense choreography
They inly thing good about jyp is that he isnt forcing them to be super thin but hes still overworking them in my opinion just like what happened with twice
Things got better with 3rd and 4th gen. But I clearly remember Suzy (missA) drastically becoming bone thin, the company probably forced her to diet due to knetz harsh comments about her weight.
@@-bluehues-386 i don’t think things have gotten better at all. Super thin is still the norm and many kpop idols cant reach it unless they starve themselves.
I love ryujin!!! she has a very full figure she always looks great it outfits!! she takes care of herself well too. I hope she never feels like she has to loose any or become as thin as her debut days. midzy’s love her as she is 💕
she lost sooo much weight now:(
And now 2022, she's way skinnier (and even skinnier than Yuna) now than their debut era...
She lost weight again this comeback. If she gains weight it always seems to go to her hips and she appears to have an hourglass figure.
Yh over realized that she lost some weight. But her hips are already wide so if she gains more she will definitely have a wider hips. As long as she is healthy, I am okay. This can also be the choreography because it is intense.
Pear figure, her shoulders are very slim. Sometimes it looks like an hourglass bc the stylists give her short jackets or colorful tank tops giving emphasis to her shoulders and waist, perfect match.
Sorry any english error, not my first language, but i think u got my idea
I find that ryujins (and itzy as a whole) characters aren't fake like so celebrities she is pure, fun, talented and kind
needs an update
suggestion: Seunghee of CLC, she lost a lot of weight these last comebacks
She’s so beautiful, all the others members are as well. Personally, I think she looks good no matter the weight she gains or loses.
My respect for her just skyrocketed to eternity.... literally this girl is just amazing uk
ryujin's dance technique is so strong and energetic at the same time and her food habits are really healthy and delicious, I want to be like her!
i feel like 4th gen idols are the most healthiest
True. I feel if this continues, the pressure of being thin will stop which is amazing.
I see her thinner right now, and I really want her to be healthy
the curvy body suits her vibe and dancing style so muchhh, she always steals the show for me
period
Ryujin's body is ideal for me. Healthy looking and not too thin.
"Healthy" that's the word, and Ryujin is an example of this, when she dances she immediately shine on the stage
I love the fact that she’s young,yet very powerful! She seems to be in harmony with her mind and body! That why she’s so beautiful not only outside,but inside as well❤️
She looks so good when she isn't skinny. Her healthy mind and bod is why I stan. Not to mention she's an amazing performer.
we need an update because omggg she is so skinny rn 😭
The fact that she's so thick (for an idol) and yet HER THIGHS DO NOT MOVE blows my mind and makes me want to hit the gym.
You can be skinny and not underweight, Ryujin is the perfect example of that. I the future I hope to see more female idols who are like her
She's not skinny.
She’s such a breath of fresh air in the kpop scene. That’s why she’s my bias. Go Ryujin!
Ryujin is the definition of body goals
I really liked that she explained the practical reasons behind why idols being thinner helps in the job (costumes/more variety) rather than it just being vain and about being thin no matter what. She's really mature and composed, good role model!
Ryujin is the non fakest idol i know. Sometimes she even posts unwhitewashed photos
i came back here after seeing her recent fancams, she's even thinner than Yuna now.
Man, Ryujin must have it Lucky than other Idols bro. She loves to dance, she ranked no. 1, because of her dancing, she was never pressured for dieting, she was showered with love for gaining weight, but still maintaining a sexy figure, she's still eating healthy, and most importantly her CONFIDENCE.
Man I wish I can be like her. ;-;
Ryujin was thin her debut and her face looked sharper. However, as she gained weight, her face and cheeks became fuller and she looks more beautiful. That's why I don't think she has to lose weight. Koreans have a standard of extreme thinness. I'm glad Ryujin is gaining weight for her health. Because dancing takes energy a lot.
did not age well
Her body is literally perfect no matter what! I love how she is one of the few idols that has a curvy figure.
i think dancing looks worse if you’re too skinny wannabe era weight suited her now she looks weak
I would wanted to hear this 2 years ago ;(
It's sorta the same problem tall people have: Long looking limbs make you look awkward, even if you're dancing well.
Itzy did say that “when we eat ,we dance better” so that’s why they don’t starve themselves or go on extreme diets like other kpop idols
Obviously, if you don't eat enough calories you will have no energy, and I feel the Kpop idols need it because they dance hours and hours a day
She looked alot better after she gained weight. Gaining weight just looks really good on some people
during the mafia in the morning era she seemed to lose a lot of weight tho:(
She lost weight to look more beautiful
@t no she didn’t. She never said that. Why are you lying?
@@sebastiansantivanez5540 she looks beautiful either way. She’s underweight now.
Omg just a few days ago I was like “hmmm they should do one about ryujin” and look now!!!!! Thank you for thissss~
Ryujin is my biggest inspiration when it comes to dieting/working out ❤️❤️
Love her so much
I'm here not because i'm curious about her lose or gain weight since as we all know, she always beautiful, charming, and charismatic the way she is! I'm here to see the comments section and it is really nice to know that a lot of you guys supported her. She deserves it.
she’s so muscular like damn and like her meals seem so balanced, she’s clearly very healthy rn which is so nice to see :)
I'm always super excited when you upload new video! Really admire the amount of work you put in each of these
jyp's artists looks fit and more healthy than other company e.g sm because sm's artists looks skinny but i love them both 😍😍
Yeah SM are REALLY strict with dieting. Taeyong worries me sometimes... (I'm not body shaming him, I just worry sometimes)
@@b1oom1ng i notice sm artist especially NCT is more healthy and fit than the past. Taeyong sometime skinny at the past but he gain some weight and muscle now
@@vinnyoctavi6545 Yeah Taeyong has gained weight and Wendy has gained weight too. I hope SM don't make her lose the weight like they did before
Can you make a new one plz
she is now well-fit again
Yes): I went to this video because she lost weight again
@@samantha1636 Yes, she is beautiful in neither of the weight 💕 She is a great example of idols embracing their bodies
If the phrase "body goals" were a person it would 100% be ryujin.
Honestly I think she just put on more muscle mass which is super healthy and obviously suits her body type really well, people should stop being hypercritical of young girls bodies its creepy as hell
I like ryujin with double chin...😍
in the recent comeback i just noticed ryujin looks like she lost weight
Honestly, people forget that these idols are still pretty young. It's normal for their weight to fluctuate a bit. Especially underage idols, it's insane how much hate they get on their bodies when they're litteral children still growing up. Gaining weight and losing weight is part of growing up.
How do idols dont have hip dips😭🥺
I wanna know too
ikr
@@mayrasanchez8672 they wear hip pads to give them the hourglass look. Ryujin actually used to wear them regularly during dalla dalla promos
@@sarahmichelle54 Can u name me some? I can't think of any but yeah, the padding makes sense
@@sarahmichelle54 omg i didn't know they had it. ty for telling me
I actually don't mind her wannabe era weight, I just want her to get plenty of rest and since lately they're so busy and she even has aotm, Im just so glad she eats well and really enjoys dancing
Actually Ryujin’s body is one of the most pretty between idols and all Itzy in general they’re all healthy ✨❤️
I'm happy someone like Ryujin actually cares about her health instead of how focusing on the fact that "You have to be skinny to look good" or whatever 0_0 Ryujin is a very cool, tmi, fun person. I like how she's herself :D
I think there should be another video for ryujin because now the same thing happened but opposite
I really think she has a pretty and healthy body.
4:31 LOVE that statement. So true…
She seems to be really confident and with a healthy mindset which also leads to a healthy body :)
You should update this since she’s quite small again
She gained muscle and she looks amazing!
in their recent comeback, she lost weight again😔
Her body is my ideal type, fit and doesn't look too thin
This idol has something in her character i can't explain. Her character and talent is addicting. She's authentic and original. She's has this trend setter ideal in her. She's magnetic, she can catch your attention. I've never been a fan of kpop before no matter how much my kpop friends tried to persuade me, but when i saw ryujin performing wannabe with her blue hair and healthy thighs, I immediately got hooked. This is what I'm looking for an idol. She doesn't conform to the girlie idols, she has her own popping and locking style which makes her standout because she's unique. Her personality is also authentic, her humor, bluntness, and warmth deep inside is very attractive. She performs without craving for too much attention, she looks very chill and herself. When she performs it's so satisfying to watch cause every move seems so effortless and smooth. She will make it big to the industry. She deserves all the recognition, she's the powerful bullet JYP can pull.
I totally agree with everything you said and i can relate! There's something about ryujin that really stands out from other idols that's why i started to stan her and itzy as well
