Comments from internet users:

“Leave it alone. It’s a health issue, something she can’t control.”

“Leave her alone. Do you really want to criticize someone who’s hurting like that? Even if you don’t care, if you’re a fan, you should know better.”

“Celebrities are also human beings, and it’s natural for them to receive a lot of love because it’s their profession. Don’t be jealous. I hope she continues to walk a flower path in the future. I love Jeongyeon.”

“There are plenty of slim and pretty rookie girl idols out there. Just support them instead.”

“Why bother bringing up Jeongyeon’s photos and criticizing her for gaining weight? She hasn’t committed a crime, and what’s wrong with her gaining a bit of weight?”

“Let’s not criticize people based on their appearance… They’re human beings and it can hurt.”

Despite facing criticism, Jeongyeon’s fans continue to eagerly anticipate seeing her and the rest of the TWICE members perform.
