This post on Pann quickly gained popularity and has already amassed 103,380 views within a day. In the comments, Korean netizens are expressing their displeasure with Jeongyeon for not taking a break or managing her public image.

The list below includes some of the most popular comments:

“Although they claim it’s due to her constant illness, if she is truly unwell, she should prioritize taking a break. Just as an athlete would not be allowed to compete if they are unable to maintain their physical condition, the same should apply to idols. If an idol’s body is no longer suitable for their role, it would be best for them to take a rest.”

It is important to prioritize your health, especially if you have been sick for an extended period of time. Although your fans may want you to continue your activities, it may be beneficial to take a break until you fully recover. While it may be difficult to be sick for a long time, it is important to rest and allow yourself time to heal. After all, won’t you ultimately feel better if you take a break from work?

“It would be beneficial for you to rest and seek treatment if you are feeling ill. Continuing to dance and perform may slow down your recovery process.”

Jyp’s welfare is of the highest quality.

“Did you intentionally gain weight in order to fit into a role similar to Super Junior Shindong’s?”

It is not believable that she gained weight due to being sick. It is clear that she gained weight from overeating. Consider the starving refugees, who cannot gain weight no matter how sick they are. It takes excessive eating to become overweight. Don’t you feel guilty when you see yourself in the mirror?
