The “secret formula” for calculating the weight of female idols has gained attention
In a recent Korean TV show, idol Dara revealed the past weights of the 2NE1 members, all of whom were required to maintain a weight under 40kg. Park Bom and other members had to undergo extreme dieting, while Sandara, who already had a thin physique at only 38kg, asked the management to gain weight but was rejected by YG.
2NE1 female idols all had to meet the company’s strict standards during their active days. The image of 2NE1’s reunion at Coachella 2022 made fans happy because of their healthy appearance after many years of working independently.
The story of weight and alarmingly thin physique of many female idols is no longer strange in the Kpop industry. However, the majority of people still often pursue this model as a beauty standard for Asian women.
An unspoken rule that is considered a template formula for the body shape of Korean female idols has once again been dug up, making many people amused. Accordingly, the weight of female idols: must be equal to or lower than the height measurement minus 120. For example, an idol who is 1m59 tall must have a “standard” measurement of 39kg.
Sandara has a toned body at the present time even though she is over 40 years old. Compared to when she was active with 2NE1, she has gained a little weight but overall still has a relatively slender body.
Sunmi is also one of the female idols mentioned prominently in this topic. She is 1m66 tall but weighs only 38kg and often appears in rankings of female idols who are too thin.
Jang Wonyoung is 1m73 tall, but it is estimated that she only weighs around 47kg, which means she is thinner than the 53kg weight (if applying the formula Dara mentioned). Having a skinny body makes it difficult for Gen Z female idols to wear clothes that show off their body, and also makes fans worry.
Rosé (BLACKPINK) is also one of the female celebrities with a skinny body. The female idol is about 1m70 tall and only weighs 44kg. In a recent image, Rosé’s fans couldn’t help but feel sorry for her overly thin body whenever she overworked, especially during the time she was preparing for her solo music project.
Some netizen comments are as follows:
- They’re skinny but they look toned because they dance a lot.
- I’m 1m53 tall, so I can only weigh 33kg? haha.
- I’m both underweight and underweight to be an idol…
- With their stature, it’s really surprising when they say their actual weight.
