On July 25, Wendy made an appearance at the ‘Boryeong Mud Festival: K-pop Super Live’. Wendy attended as both an event MC and a featured performing artist – but it was her appearance that immediately caught the attention of fans. Photos of her at the event quickly went viral, with many netizens expressing worry over her ‘extremely thin’ appearance.

The Viral Photos and Growing Worry

The viral photos quickly became a trending topic across social media platforms and K-pop forums.

Many pointed out the strenuous demands of the K-Pop industry and the immense pressure idols face to maintain a certain image, especially with Red Velvet’s anticipated comeback requiring peak physical condition for rigorous promotions.

“She is painfully thin ㅠㅠㅠ I really hope she stays healthy”
“Whoa… Don’t they also say photos make people look bigger than they are in real life? But if THAT is what ‘bigger’ looks like… ㅠㅠ……”
“If it looks this extreme even in photos… she really should gain some weight for the sake of her health”

The outpouring of comments highlights the deep affection fans have for Wendy and their genuine worry for her well-being.
