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.

However, they suddenly became very popular artists, attracting a lot of attention. She said the attention felt new and fresh, but it only lasted two or three months.
With their sudden surge in popularity came snide comments. The idol revealed that people call them “Pig Girls“.

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