Red Velvet's Wendy Sparks Health Concerns After Appearing Noticeably Thinner at K-Pop Event

Red Velvet member Wendy (孫承歡) recently served as the MC for the 'Boryeong K-POP SUPER LIVE' in Boryeong City, South Chungcheong Province. The event featured groups like izna, RESCENE, and CRAVITY, but Wendy's physique unexpectedly drew more attention than the performances themselves.

Wendy took the stage in a white mini-dress, openly showcasing her arms. Photos from the event quickly went viral on social media. Many fans and netizens observed that her arms appeared much thinner than before, and her overall frame seemed significantly reduced. This led to widespread concern for her health, shifting the discussion from her outfit to her physical condition.

Related photos subsequently became a trending topic on the Korean forum theqoo, quickly surpassing 100,000 views. Many Korean netizens lamented, "In the past two years, a new beauty standard has emerged in Korea: the thinner the upper arms, the better; the thinner the inner thighs, the better. People don't realize how dangerous this is. Instead of constantly encouraging childbirth, the government should provide mental health services for everyone."

Most netizens focused on Wendy's health, commenting: "Being too fat is an illness, and being too thin is also an illness." "How did she get this thin? Is she eating properly?" "She was already incredibly thin, but recently she seems to have lost even more weight... But if news of health problems comes out later, she'll probably post a clarification saying she's healthy, even healthier than before." "She's beautiful without needing to lose more weight. She might be fine now, but for her health, please eat more." "I was shocked when I saw her concert fancam on Shorts; she's really too thin. It's incredible that she can still hit high notes with a body like that." "When I was 170cm tall and weighed 48kg, I wasn't this thin, and I already felt exhausted then. How is she managing to perform at events?" "Is she feeling unwell somewhere? I hope she can sing healthily for a long time." "If the title hadn't said it was Wendy, I wouldn't have recognized her at all."
