Recently, Red Velvet’s Wendy has sparked massive concern online for her latest bone-thin appearance. Fans across various platforms have been vocal about their worries, pointing out a noticeable change in her physique during recent public appearances, leading many to express their anxiety over her health.
The initial wave of concern was amplified when, not long after, a video clip of her worrying about her weight resurfaced online, adding more concern to fans. In the resurfaced footage, Wendy candidly discussed her past struggles with diet and body image, making the recent observations even more poignant and heartbreaking for her devoted fanbase, ReVeluvs.
Adding to the conversation, in their most recent comeback music show performance, she also shocked fans with her hip pad allegations, which only accentuated her thin figure even more. This particular incident ignited a wider discussion about the immense pressures K-Pop idols face regarding their appearance and the extreme measures sometimes taken to achieve certain aesthetics. Many fans debated whether styling choices were inadvertently contributing to unhealthy perceptions.
Most recently, her message to fans had fans truly worried about her mental health. Her words, seemingly heartfelt and vulnerable, struck a deep chord with ReVeluvs who felt she was expressing a deeper struggle beneath the surface, prompting an outpouring of support and concern.
While performing and recording for Red Velvet, I used a thinner voice, but now I can’t make thicker sounds, which is a big problem. I’m so angry and frustrated that I can’t sleep. I’m going to practice until I can do it, then go to sleep.
