A recent photo of NewJeans member Hanni has sparked discussion online after some netizens commented on what they perceived as weight gain.
The image, reportedly taken overseas, was recently shared on the Korean online forum where it quickly gained attention.
While many fans focused on Hanni’s appearance and expressed support, others left critical comments, leading to a divided response.
Some netizens defended the idol, pointing out that she still looked healthy and beautiful. “Even if she’s gained a little weight, she’s still really cute”, “She still looks pretty. Her face is so small that it doesn’t make much difference”, “She’s just put on a bit of weight. If she wants to lose it later, she can.”
Others, however, were more critical, with some comparing her to an ordinary person and questioning her future activities. “She just doesn’t look like a celebrity”, “I don’t think they’ll be able to regain the same level of popularity as before”, “She looks like the friendly tteokbokki store lady in my neighborhood.”
Several commenters also linked the discussion to the ongoing uncertainty surrounding NewJeans’ future, while others speculated about the physical and emotional toll the group has experienced in recent months. “The NewJeans members have been through a lot.”
As of now, fans continue to await updates regarding NewJeans’ future activities.
