THIS 4th-Gen Main Vocalist's Weight Berated By K-Netz — Fan Base Defends Idol

THIS fourth-gen main vocalist is being called out for her weight, sparking a fiery discussion online between critics and her fans.

Here's what happened.

"Looking at their legs, you can tell how obvious it is. The comparison is also severe between her members. PURPLE KISS members are all skinny apart from Swan, so she stands out more."

As the post continued, netizens expressed their thoughts on the post, and stated that Swan should've debuted as a soloist instead in an idol group.

• "The only issue here is that she debuted as an idol, a job that requires identity when promoting, but she only relies on her vocal talent."
• "This wouldn't be an issue if she debuted as a soloist."
• "She'll do better when she quits and join a program like 'Queendom Puzzle' after losing weight."
• "Swan is a good singer, but she's not meant to be an idol."

However, fans immediately defended Swan from the harsh comments, which they deemed as uncalled for. They also called out the netizens for consistently changing targets when it comes to the topic of weight.

• "Are you guys changing targets since Liz has lost weight? You're the ones who should lose weight. This is so tiring already."
• "She's talented, but she's only mentioned when she's criticized for her visuals and body."
• "These bunch of losers just found a new target. NMIXX's Jiwoo, IVE's Liz, and now Swan."
• "Not everyone has to have the same body type. I can't even tell which legs are hers."

On Twitter, the issue also broke out and ignited a counter from PLORYs.

• "It would make sense since she's from RBW. The agency values talent more than your usual idol packaging or branding."
• "Swan's got that unique vocal tone and power. Some comments are just harsh."
• "It's disgusting how people can comment harshly on a 20-year-old's body."
