The pressure on idols regarding their appearance comes from the agency, but also from fans and viewers.

During the broadcast of KBS‘ ‘Diet‘ on May 14th, Brave Girls‘ Yujeong revealed that she had received malicious comments and death threats due to her weight.

While talking about the group’s overnight success, she revealed that they were always afraid of not getting attention. However, before their sudden success, the only people who knew about them were their company, their family and their CEO.

“What are you doing, walking around with a bodyguard?“
