Beauty standards in Korea are very strict, and for many people, weight is a huge part of that. Yet, some celebrities have shocked and made netizens concerned after revealing their weight.
One celebrity who shocked netizens and sparked a debate with a past weight reveal is Kwanghee.
Kwanghee first sparked concerns after losing a lot of weight after being discharged from the military.
Photos from a past episode of Running Man have gained attention. When it was assumed that Kwanghee didn’t weigh over 60kg…
He explained that while he had said during an episode of Radio Star that he was 59kg…
That it was actually a lie and he only weighs 51kg. For any person, that is extremely underweight, but for a man like Kwanghee, whose height is around 175cm (around 5″7″), it seems impossible for many people to imagine that he is so light.
When the photos were shared on the Korean forum theqoo, it shocked netizens. Although there are strict standards of beauty in Korea, especially in the entertainment industry, that includes weight, netizens were shocked how a male could be so light and weigh so little, considering he is of average height. Others shared that it was okay as long as he was healthy.
- “Kwanghee, take some of my weight.”
- “But as long as there’s no health issues, it’s fine.”
- “Kwanghee, please take 10kg from me.”
- “If he didn’t look like that before and suddenly lost weight, then there might be concerns about health. However, if he’s been naturally thin all his life, there might not be any issues. His body would likely have adapted to that weight…”
- “Wow, he’s even skinnier than I thought.”
- “How slim is his frame for him to weight that little? He’s not even that short, so…”
While Kwanghee seems healthy, considering that even Korean netizens are concerned, it showcases just how underweight the idol seems to be.
