READ TIL THE END BEFORE YOU SAY SOMETHING! Liz from IVE was subjected to a lot of body shaming before—which she didn't deserve. Now, I grew up with a body bigger than every girl in my class and everything I heard and been through, I do not wish to happen to anyone. So when I came across posts about Liz and her body, I felt really bad for her. However, like in most cases for every idol that was body shamed, Liz's management milked the fact that people "talked" about her neverminding that it was straight up bullying. I'm talking about literally showing all the other members eating but not her and similar situations. Instead of bringing her up for her amazing voice, they pushed her image more on being the bullied one so people would feel sympathy and pity. While this doesn't work on those who are already a DIVE, for the general public (me included) this sparks interest like when you see those tiktok videos about dogs not eating on a shelter so you engage to help. Now, I wasn't that much into IVE and only recently have seen a clip of Liz again. It's obvious she had lost weight and she seems more confident. Love that for her! Although, it felt weird since the last time she was on my feed, she's this girl who almost never smiles and always had these sad eyes from all the bullying. And the next time I see her, she's sticking her tongue out and biting her lip while performing. I have nothing against that though. YOU GO, MOTHER!!!! I just didn't think she had that in her because she was held back so much by the body shaming before. I'm sorry if this post is so random and unclear I didn't have enough sleep but my point here is I just wish that the time comes in kpop where body size doesn't matter. Or if someone gets bullied for their body, their management actually protects them and doesn't push them to change just to be accepted—just so they could "be pretty" and "act pretty" like everyone else. submitted by /u/Longjumping-Brick133 [link] [comments]
