The online community is abuzz with discussions about TWICE Jeongyeon recent weight gain. Fans have taken to social media to express their opinions on the idol’s appearance and health.

Fans are divided over TWICE member Jeongyeon’s recent weight gain and health

One of the most upvoted comments compares idols to athletes, stating that athletes cannot be active in their professional field when they claim to be ill. The netizen remarked, “They say she’s always sick, but if she’s that ill, she should rest. If an athlete can’t maintain their physique or weight and says it’s because they’re sick, would you just let it slide and let them compete? Isn’t it the same for idols? If their body can’t handle being an idol anymore, they should rest.”

Conversely, some fans argued that the photos being circulated were not recent and defended Jeongyeon, pointing out that neither her fans nor the members of TWICE have any issues with her being active. One fan commented, “It seems like she’s been sick for a long time. Fans hope she’ll continue together, but wouldn’t it be better to rest until she gets better? If she’s sick for a long time, it must be tough. Shouldn’t she rest to recover?”

Supporters also emphasized JYP Entertainment’s reputation for taking good care of their artists, with comments like “JYP’s welfare is top-notch” and speculations that Jeongyeon might be intentionally gaining weight for a different position within the group.

In addition to her activities with TWICE, Jeongyeon has been hosting the YouTube show The Inspector, where she engages in conversations with various guests, including Onew and Jaejoong.

The debate over Jeongyeon’s weight gain highlights the pressures and scrutiny idols face regarding their appearances and health. It also underscores the importance of supporting artists’ well-being and respecting their need for rest and recovery when necessary.
