Netizens Can't Believe IVE Rei's Tall Height Given Her Cute Face

These days, it seems like it’s more common for female K-Pop idols to be taller than average, with idols like Weeekly‘s Zoa, ITZY‘s Yuna, and STAYC‘s J all standing at 170cm (5’7″) or taller!

Some of these female idols, however, have round, cute, and youthful faces that may make them seem shorter than they actually are, and that’s just the case for IVE‘s Rei!

At 19 years old, Rei’s official height is 170cm, or about 5’7″. However, a forum post was recently made discussing the thought that she looks much shorter because of how cute her face is!

The author of the post states that, just looking at her face, one would think that she’s in the high 150s or low 160s in cm for her height. She has such soft, pinchable cheeks and a bright, child-like aura that we can see why someone might think so!

But in reality, if she really is 170cm tall, that puts her among some of the tallest female idols in the fourth generation, and in the industry as a whole.

In IVE, however, she’s not actually the tallest member! Standing next to fellow members Wonyoung and Yujin, who are both stated to be around 173cm (or a little over 5’8″), she looks like she’s on the smaller side once again!

There are quite a few comments from netizens on the post that agree with thinking Rei’s face makes her look shorter than she is, with some expressing the desire to squish her cute cheeks.
