Netizens have come to TWICE Jeongyeon‘s defense after she was targeted over her appearance.
Recently, TWICE were spotted at the airport heading to Japan before their Ready To Be Special tour dates.
As usual, fans and media photographed the members at the airport, and the photos were shared online. In a viral forum post titled “, a netizen shared such photos of Jeongyeon, initially seeming to show “concern” for her condition.
Instead of discussing Jeongyeon’s irritated eye, as some had already done, the OP attacked her overall appearance, comparing her to an older photo of herself.
- Why is her appearance like that today…she looks like she’s in her 70s.
- Where did she go?
In 2021, Jeongyeon went on hiatus due to a herniated disc and anxiety, gaining weight likely as a side effect of her medication. While most think she looks beautiful, she has unfortunately been a target of hate due to her different size.
While netizens can sometimes be harsh over beauty standards and those who do not fit them, many came to Jeongyeon’s defense.
- Leave it alone. It’s a health issue, something she can’t control.
- Leave her alone. Do you really want to criticize someone who’s hurting like that? Even if you don’t care, if you’re a fan, you should know better.
- Celebrities are also human beings, and it’s natural for them to receive a lot of love because it’s their profession. Don’t be jealous. I hope she continues to walk a flower path in the future. I love Jeongyeon.
- There are plenty of slim and pretty rookie girl idols out there. Just support them instead. Why bother bringing up Jeongyeon’s photos and criticizing her for gaining weight? She hasn’t committed a crime, and what’s wrong with her gaining a bit of weight?

Let’s not criticize people based on their appearance… They’re human beings and it can hurt.
