The K-pop industry isn't just about idols being musically-talented, but also having to be subjected to beauty standards set by Korean society. From their facial structure to their weight, idols are constantly in the spotlight for such topics. In fact, there are several instances when an idol was labeled "fat" despite being slim and healthy - all because of their thick thighs!
With that, here are five female K-Pop idols who were considered "fat" due to their thick thighs.
1. MAMAMOO Hwasa
MAMAMOO Hwasa
MAMAMOO Hwasa has always been a hot topic for her proportions. In the early years of Hwasa's debut with the group, she was criticized by the public for being "fat" due to her hourglass figure and thick thighs. In fact, she was even told she was "fat and not pretty at all" by a company official when she was auditioning for different companies.
But Hwasa only weighs around 44kg to 47kg at 162cm (5'3") tall, and sports a slim and toned upper body.
2. Former IZ*ONE Yabuki Nako

Former IZ*ONE member Yabuki Nako was one of the shortest idols in not only the group, but also among other idols. Due to her short height, her legs appear to be chubbier than she actually is, making others perceive her as "fat."

However, Yabuki Nako is not only slim and healthy, but she was also one of the lightest members in the group in terms of weight, weighing around 40kg to 43kg.
3. VIVIZ Eunha

Similar to Yabuki Nako, Eunha was also the shortest member of her former group GFRIEND, and now VIVIZ. Due to her shorter height of around 162cm (5'4"), her thick thighs give off the impression that she is on the heavier side. However, with Eunha's pear shape figure, she actually weighs around 44kg to 49kg!
4. TWICE Jihyo
TWICE Jihyo
TWICE's leader Jihyo's body shape is an inverted triangle, and due to her large chest and thick thighs, her body appears to be bigger than her actual weight. However, rather than "fat," Jihyo is actually pretty fit. Weighing between 49kg to 56kg, Jihyo has a gorgeous and healthy slim figure.
5. MOMOLAND Nancy
MOMOLAND Nancy
Another idol who has been a hot topic when it comes to her proportions is MOMOLAND Nancy. Unlike most idols, Nancy has a curvier body. Paired with thicker thighs than most, Nancy is often mistaken as "fat," which subjected her to body-shaming. But Nancy is actually toned, and weighs around 45kg to 47kg.
