Whenever, wherever, or however my appearance is, I am very satisfied with it. And I have my reason to be in that body shape. But I don’t think that’s very important for me…I wanted to focus on my role. That’s all.

Lose weight, and they b*tch about it; gain weight, and they b*tch about that too. Being a female celebrity is seriously tough.

살뺀걸로 이렇게 논란? 말 많은거 개피곤함 쪄도지랄 빼도지랄 걍 냅둬라 좀 https://t.co/G3aizupuSL
All this controversy just because she lost weight? It’s so exhausting dealing with all the chatter. People complain if you gain weight, and they complain if you lose it. Just leave her alone, for crying out loud.
