And you thought POPSEOUL! was nitpicky…

20080804_leehyori

A picture of Lee Hyori from her Mnet M-Countdown performance last week is getting crazy clickage (over 700,000) on a certain Korean celebrity forum because of her muffin top and bulging thighs.

We at POPSEOUL! make fun of celebrity body parts too, but this is crossing a very a fat line!  Unless you are a marathoner with 1% fat, a girl is always going to have some softness-although we already know that Hyori has none in the back.

    WELL, DUR! Never trust photo shoots, EVER!
    You can always tell, no matter how sexy you think she is, that she’s pretty flubbery, especially her stomach. She’s not as tone as she once was. Her thighs are thunder(ish).

    Jen Jen:

    You stupid idiot. I didn’t say POp Seoul should stop reporting on her. Did I, you moron? Point out where I said that. You jackass. I said she should stop posting so much.

    And everyone knows Hyori is a whore. Please child. The dumb slut even calls herself a whore: What do you think H-Y-O-R-I-S-H means?

    okay that is lame because all girls have that no matter how skinny they are – and hyori has a body many people would love to have. and hey i respect her for the name Hyorish…at least she admits it unlike a lot of other artists out there XD

    she looks damn good for a 29 year old. if you call her fat you are probably just jealous and pretty fat yourself.

  5. 5 8 August 4, 2008 at 7:47 am

    why does she have to look good for a 29 yo? Is Alzheimer’s on the way?

    look try what lee hyori doing at the photo session…and try doing lee hyori singing picture..(angle)

    (while i was doing it and my reaction)
    as i tried the(photo session angle pic.) i could hardly see a fat poppin out…

    and i tried the(lee hyori with mic. angle pic.) i could see some fat poppin out…

    soo i would simply say its about how you pose the picture…

    and im sure its not PHOTOSHOP!!!!

  7. 7 Seriously;; August 4, 2008 at 7:53 am

    Okay seriously, you guys think she is that good looking. YES she is totally a bombshell. HOWEVER, how old is she? 29 or 30? Guys people get older and bodies don’t work the same anymore. As you get older it is harder to loose weight and gain the same body as a early 20 yr old lady would have. Which means you have to work a BILLION times as much as ever. Hyori may well never get the body she had ten years ago. [Unless she goes under the knife again.] So just get over it & also think that maybe she is already saggin` [I highly doubt it, but no body is ever the same.] Just as long as her body doesn’t turn out to be like Madonna’s; I am fine with that!

    &;; On the defense of Pop This!:
    I think she is saying popseoul should slow down on Hyori & only post things that are REALLY important. [Like if she got into an accident or something, not just about her being fat.]

    What the heck. That’s retarded.

  9. 9 yuna lee August 4, 2008 at 8:34 am

    ROFl this is lamee.. omggg how retarded… she needs it anyway people should be encouraging her haha

  10. 10 asianromance August 4, 2008 at 8:39 am

    so she’s got some extra flesh- fans should be RELIEVED that she is just your normal girl and not some barbie doll in skimpy clothes. and from all the skinny girls i’ve seen- certain poses can make the flesh gather in one area-making it look like extra flesh. the one way this CAN’T happen is if the person’s flesh is made out of hard plastic. i bet most of those criticizing her “fat” are fatter than her. gosh- nitpicking on everything. I wonder what will happen to korea if the US’s paparazzi culture is transferred over there.

  11. 11 kim August 4, 2008 at 8:51 am

    you’ve got to be kidding me T-T she is not fat AT ALL!

  12. 12 Jane. August 4, 2008 at 8:55 am

    If she was the definition of fat, I would be thoroughly DEPRESSED right now. Okay, she’s showing like 1% fat but it’s partially because she’s bending over to the side. Plus, she’s almost 30! Give her a break stuipid netizens.

  13. 13 suga August 4, 2008 at 9:11 am

    korean netizens lol
    somehow i suspect a bunch of evil little middle schooled girls

  14. 14 liz August 4, 2008 at 9:13 am

    this is when you know the haters are gettting desperate and ridiculous… they don’t even make any logical sense anymore.

    1st of all: I don’t know why ppl consider 29 to be old. Come on, we don’t call 29 year old men old, then why call women old?

    If i am not incorrect, isn’t she part of Generation Y; which ranges from 1977 to 1994. I am pretty sure just about 99% of all the ppl who view this blog were born between those years.

    2nd of all: She isn’t fat. She is looks healthy.

    Popseoul, plz fix the glitch in ur system. So we don’t end up posting the same thing twice.

  18. 18 8 August 4, 2008 at 9:37 am

    … again I don’t get it. Why are people acting like a death bed comes after 30? First of all she isn’t even REMOTELY fat, and she is skinny and active enough to lose that little tiny fat no matter how old she is. WTF.

  19. 19 Rayray August 4, 2008 at 9:40 am

    So, this is considered fat. Boy I would like to see what chubby look likes…*Sigh* people these days -_-!

  20. 20 Jasmine* August 4, 2008 at 9:59 am

    Hyori is sooooooo hot ^^ and we all know that..she is fit and WTF is wrong with those ppl?

  21. 22 Sharurotto August 4, 2008 at 10:21 am

    I guess I’m anorexic, then.

  22. 23 han August 4, 2008 at 1:28 pm

    still one word: Plastic

  23. 24 have yourself August 4, 2008 at 1:34 pm

    she has fats. if her body’s firm, those muffin tops never show even how much she moves. ask the personal trainers.

    she better cover more her not- so- good body next time. she’s getting fuglier and fuglier as she gets older and older. yaikks!

  24. 25 guy August 4, 2008 at 2:23 pm

    ^You must be really ugly to have that much hate. Tsk, tsk.

  25. 26 Dovey August 4, 2008 at 3:46 pm

    What the heck? Picking out silly stuff like that? Grow up…fans.

  26. 27 girl ^^ August 4, 2008 at 4:20 pm

    ALL YOUS SHOULD BE ASHAMED OF YOURSELVES!

    that picture up theres pretty anno, even with popseoul pointing out little pudgy bits that EVERYONE has!

    WRITE BETTER ARTICLES !!!
    GOSH MANG!

  27. 28 jams August 4, 2008 at 5:10 pm

    nice attempt at defending a celebrity with crumpled skin [sincerity].

    i think “have yourself” is -having itself- a hard time hiding its tire rolls under its thick layer of fatty [saturated, of course] shallowness.

  28. 29 meta August 4, 2008 at 5:27 pm

    ummm… that’s what happens to your body when you shift your weight to one side. the skin folds over. gasp.

  29. 30 K August 4, 2008 at 7:21 pm

    “You make yourselves look just as crazy by taking it so seriously and arguing back and forth about it.”

    haha.. just pure conjecture here.. but i’m guessing 99% of e ppl here r thinking Pop This! is crazy

    n judging from e frequency of her posts.. i’m thinking boolliiaaooo… plus loserrrrr…

    so got a mental pic of whoever Pop This! is.. one with no outer beauty or inner.. oh well..

  30. 31 Pop This! August 4, 2008 at 10:37 pm

    Hey K:

    STFU. No one is even paying attention to you.

  31. 32 jamiemira August 4, 2008 at 11:40 pm

    If she’s fat, we’ll all be called hippos

  32. 33 bob August 5, 2008 at 1:32 am

    are they pointing out her camel toe? where??? I don’t see it…

  33. 34 Hae Jin August 5, 2008 at 12:02 pm

    lol …. jeez she’s human too .. nobody’s perfect … some people are just jealous of her … i think korea’s music industry is so lucky to have her …

  34. 35 ♥이시아~ August 5, 2008 at 7:16 pm

    ~ still beautiful, though.

  35. 36 Ivy August 5, 2008 at 11:24 pm

    @erick

    hyolee’s body hasn’t changed much. look at her 1st album picture

    the same indent is there too. it’s normal for all girls including models to have softness at that spot unless they’re anorexic or something.

  36. 37 Fleep♥ August 6, 2008 at 6:16 am

    yeah because under no circumstances should the human body fold or ripple
