Why so skeletal, Jung Ryu-won?

20080814_jungryuwon7

OHMIGOSH! What happened to Jung Ryu-won? The 27 year old model/actress looks frighteningly anorexic! The poor girl recently posted up selca pictures during her travels to Tokyo on her Cyworld Minihompy. Strangely enough, Korean netizens are noting her fashionable sense of style, but none have pointed out her shocking weight loss.

Miss Jung, please order yourself a scrumptuous (and fattening) shrimp avocado burger with seasoned fries and a bing-soo for dessert from Lotteria!

    she’s still my favorite! Cain and Abel needs to start filming.

    whatever it is, that ain’t enough reason to be skinny. being skinny and skeletal is unsophisticated, dirty, un-glamorous and eternally fugly.

    theres is no such thing as anorexia in asian countries lol

  4. 4 ... August 14, 2008 at 1:44 pm

    wow, she looks terrible.

  5. 5 YOYOYO August 14, 2008 at 1:56 pm

    nv like her anywayz!

  6. 6 getit August 14, 2008 at 2:33 pm

    omg. she’s seriously sick.

    shame that South Korea hasn’t recognized anorexia as a disease yet. Does a big time celebrity have to die like Karen Carpenter did for it to get the awareness and help it deserves?

    she looks sickening. absolutely sickening. look at the rings around her eyes too. i don’t see how anyone would find that attractive. thank god it’s only for a movie role..

  8. 8 annie August 14, 2008 at 3:34 pm

    hope that Starbucks she’s holding was a mint chocolate chip mocha. that oughta fatten her up!

    WHOA. Since when was Popseoul back? I feel like an idiot…the slowest person in the world. Haha. Anyway, She’s soo beautiful, BUT EAT DAMMIT!! I hated her in Kim Samsoon. Her English is way perfecto though.

    Anyway, I’m glad I found Popseoul again, because Allkpop is really annoying me

  10. 11 Canelle August 14, 2008 at 6:07 pm

    She’s preparing for a movie where she needs to be really skinny…it’s no news.

  11. 12 Natalie August 14, 2008 at 7:12 pm

    Haha looks like we’ve got a new amy winehouse on our hands

  12. 13 Tina August 14, 2008 at 7:15 pm

    make ups do alter their beauty. hmmmm

  13. 14 jas August 14, 2008 at 7:54 pm

    It’s for a role.

    Do your research, please.

  14. 15 vanilla August 14, 2008 at 8:08 pm

  15. 16 iROCK&WHUT! August 14, 2008 at 10:32 pm

  16. 17 avionne August 14, 2008 at 11:33 pm

    She looks sick and unhealthy…Maybe she just needs to a whole lot of food or something because she doesn’t look pretty.

    She somehow looks like a cross betwen Pete Dougherty and Kate Moss.i.e…Crackhead.

  18. 19 Sae August 15, 2008 at 12:00 am

    God. I always thought she was too skinny to begin with. >.<

    It’s so weird that Koreans worship the S-Line (i.e. curves) but also expect girls to be thin. -_- It makes it so hard to live here!!! Argh.

  19. 20 ayoe August 15, 2008 at 12:00 am

    omg…scary…
    she need helps asap

  20. 21 bella August 15, 2008 at 1:02 am

    but I think this girl has always had the anorexic look.. dunno why but she gives me the impression that she´s a weak and sick girl.. not healthy and strong,… but in some way I really like her..

  21. 22 Jane. August 15, 2008 at 2:20 am

    If you’ve noticed Jung Ryu Won before, you would know that this “weight loss” isn’t significant at all. The first picture just makes her look chubbier than she was. Jung Ryu Won was ALWAYS extremely skinny. Especially in MNIKSS, where she had to play a role of a weak, sick girl. This isn’t new news. Plus, how can you assume that just because she’s skinny that she’s anorexic? I have plenty of friends who eat a ton and just stay skinny. Stop assuming things and give the girl a break. Plus, she looks cute in her pictures.

  22. 23 . August 15, 2008 at 3:53 am

    ^i agree.
    even tho, i don’t think she should lose weight for a role either >__>;
    she was already skinny to begin with.

  23. 24 ahuh August 15, 2008 at 5:45 am

    OMG! Does she not realize how DISGUSTING she looks?!
    I don’t even know how she can stand on those twigs of hers!

  24. 25 ???? August 15, 2008 at 5:51 am

    the people who are defending her or see nothing wrong with these pics need help! even if she is doing this for a role, this is soooooo not healthy! hopefully she won’t die from starvation before the film starts shooting!

  25. 26 flyingplanes August 15, 2008 at 5:52 am

    I agree that she needs to gain some, but she still looks gorgeous.

  26. 27 Rose August 15, 2008 at 8:15 am

    Gosh give the girl a break. Its her life she can do whatever she wants and i agree that she shouldnt lose weights for a movie or drama but that shows how commitment she is. i think she was really good in epik high’s mv “one”, and to the person who said “eww look at her legs. damn my arms are thicker than those two sticks” if your arms are thicker than those two “sticks” of hers than Damn you need to get your fatass away from the monitor and start exercising. ;]

  27. 28 aina August 15, 2008 at 12:13 pm

    maybe she thought she’ll become sexier and beautiful with that kind of body..she looks malnourished!
    anyway, i hope she’ll regain her natural body if ever that’s just for the sake of a movie or something.
    i just hope none will do thesame..it’s not good to look at, and dieting too much has its consequences….

  28. 29 leeyana August 15, 2008 at 6:24 pm

    i noticed her skinni-ness in kim sam soon drama…loong time ago…

  29. 30 R. Kelly August 15, 2008 at 6:34 pm

    If this is for a role then it’s a role not worth doing. Starving oneself has serious lifelong repercussions. It’s even worse to the body then becoming obese.

    What’s truly depressing is that by South Korean standards her twiggy malnourished body would be considered attractive.

    I hope she pulls through with a minimum of bodily damage.

  30. 31 Fcukballs August 15, 2008 at 6:41 pm

    She has always been this thin.

  31. 32 Song August 16, 2008 at 2:12 am

    what is up with her, sickning to see that, aww, comeon she’s already so skinny,

  32. 33 heerie August 16, 2008 at 6:47 am

    i like her she seems pretty mostly naturally and the only thing i have a problem with her right now is her legs. she has the super skinny-no shape korean girl legs. and maybe some more fat overall. her face shape looks better less filled out though. doesn’t look as stubborn :)

  33. 34 evvy August 17, 2008 at 3:50 am

    What the – … why does she do this to herself? She was already underweight before.

  34. 35 evvy August 17, 2008 at 3:58 am

    Omg, the more I look at her, the more frightening it looks. She seriously shouldn’t take pictures of herself looking like herself.

  35. 36 sinuata August 17, 2008 at 8:24 am

    wtf?! you’re not in MNIKSS anymore, woman.

  36. 37 hhj August 23, 2008 at 1:25 pm

    that is nasty…. she does need help o_o

  37. 39 luvpusha November 21, 2008 at 2:25 am

    yah.. what happened her?
    why get so thin?
    i really like her and see
    her as my fashion icon?

    from your concerned fan ♥
