This is the same issue I had when dealing with some obsessed Taehyung fans and I said that he is the skinny/fat type. I don't get it. Is it this stupid society? Is it the obsession? Is it - God forbid I say anything else but PRAISE THE KPOOPER IDOL.
The issue was, that he was saying a lie to the public to cover for the weightgain issue. As a woman I can say that women deal with real struggle maintaining a slim figure, due to various reasons, one of them being the hormonal balance. Women have slower metabolism, have difficulties gaining muscles, and so much more. It cannot be compare. Guys in their 20s burn calories like it's an entire war going on in their life. Girls have weight problems, also in relation to the unhealthy lifestyle - aware or not aware of, since puberty starts.
Guys cann burn until their 35s as much alcohol, drugs they want and eat as much fast food, they are still able to maintain a slim figure. Rarely we see fat males.
Look at everyone in Stray Kids, in fact look around you. Just pay attention next time you walk out the room and try to estimate how many slim females you see on the street vs males up to let's say 40tish. Or maybe 30ish is better.
How come everyone in Ateez for example is muscular, in ExO, in every other band, trained, etc. except BTS and StrayKids Changbin. Don't let yourselves fooled by some videos of him training.
I remind once again - arm work for a bit of muscles is very easy. They only need to lift a TV and have muscles next day. As I said it in the past, I know it from my work - the body is basically our instrument and every muscle is defined. We have very little fat, but muscles. You can't be a dancer and be fat. because it also means that your muscles aren't trained for stability and flexibility.
It doesn't even matter if he's a dancer or not, though he is a member of a kpoop band, so dancing should be one of the priorities.
But the hypocrisy of stating, that being thin affected his voice and that's why he became obese...well, I can tell you it is not true. In fact fat/obese people have more problems sustaining the power in the vocal chords, training their lung volume and so much more.
I got mad, because it was such a big lie, when he obviously has a weight problem, which is HIS problem, but at the same time makes a living from being an example of a kpooper, who is a dancer and rapper and singer and does everything on his own. ...NOT.
I see no efforts coming from his side, to solve his health problems, which I believe to be also connected with some psychological issues, because he was very slim before and he is weird and obese now, which is why I assumed that he's on anti-depressants. Also why I don't believe that the constelation with him living with Hyunjin is good for Hyunjin, but that's a different story.
While I don't think people should attack him for being obese, it should at least be acknowledge and he could take this as an encouragement to take care of his health.
