TWICE is officially gearing up for their summer comeback with their 4th full-length album FOUR, and the teaser video has already become a hot topic across social media.
But while excitement was expected, what caught many off guard was the opening shot: the teaser begins with a close-up of Jeongyeon, her slimmer frame immediately sparking commentary online.
A viral post pointed out Jeongyeon’s noticeable weight loss, claiming it was a key factor generating buzz for the comeback. But what followed was a flood of backlash not just at the original post but at the larger culture of body scrutiny Jeongyeon has long faced.
Fans swiftly defended her, criticizing how Jeongyeon remains one of the most targeted idols when it comes to body-shaming. Many reminded netizens of her 2021 hiatus, where she battled a herniated disc and anxiety. During that time, Jeongyeon gained weight, likely due to side effects from medication, and faced ruthless online judgment.

The resurfacing of body-focused discourse, especially around an idol who has spoken openly about her health struggles, reopened difficult conversations. “This comeback should be about her return to stage and strength, not her weight,” one fan wrote.
While some praised her transformation, others urged the public to move beyond appearances and respect idols for their resilience, talent, and well-being.
As FOUR‘s release approaches, fans are hoping the focus returns to what truly matters—Jeongyeon’s powerful vocals and triumphant comeback.
