Yoobin of the Wondergirls is angry

Youbin_0421_1

Yoobin is fuming that netizens are calling her chunky.  The Wondergirls member lashed out at the haters on her Cyworld homepage, saying that she is “healthy” and “keeping her weight under control…”

Who cares. Now that she’s making her debut in the U.S, her chunk and dark skin is no biggie. In fact, she will be considered as “petite” and tanned compared to the pale heifers roaming around in America.

    She looks fine to me. It’s good that she’s not letting all those stupid “fat” comments bug her anymore. Don’t girls look better with curves anyways?

    Dude, seriously?
    Okay it’s not that I’m one of those calling her “chunky”, but in Hollywood, where double size zero is the “in thing”, she would probably still be labeled the same name.

    Though there are still a few entertainers with the same body frame as her such as America Ferrera, Jennifer Hudson, and a few more.

    Yes the whole skinny thing out there in Korea. It’s okay for women to have some meat. I think Sunmi is too thin in WG..she needs to eat more.

    whatever..! Xd

    She is a lot heavier now than she was. You could really tell in the last video they made. Does she look okay, sure, but she was picked to be a Wondergirl probably for how she looked at the time. All I know is if she looked like she does now at the time she probably wouldn’t have got the position in the first place. She should remember that. Afterall, it isn’t like she has that much talent to fall back on.

    Uh, I heard Yoobin wasn’t angry at all…and that she welcomed the comments.

    Which reporting source should I trust?

  10. 11 chaehee723 April 23, 2009 at 12:16 am

    she looks good.. nothing wrong with her..
    just concerned with her talent.. she’s awesome right?!

  11. 12 janicate April 23, 2009 at 12:55 am

    chunky?
    lol
    =.=”

    hahahahaha

    …and again, Popseoul proves that they are prejudice!

    “Now that she’s making her debut in the U.S, her chunk and dark skin is no biggie. In fact, she will be considered as “petite” and tanned compared to the pale heifers roaming around in America.”

    ‘pale heifers’? You’ve got to be kidding me. Stop contradicting yourself!

  13. 14 ax04 April 23, 2009 at 1:07 am

    Anyway and to not be judgemental of any race or anyone from a certain, well, country, I think Yoobin looks great!

    Sure, she gained weight but who doesn’t? At least she eats! And someone mentioned Sunmi being too skinny but people should realize that each person’s body type varies. For an instance, some may gain weight easily while there are others who can eat and eat but don’t gain a pound.

    Let’s grow up, people!

  14. 15 smilecrybaby April 23, 2009 at 1:07 am

    Her nose looks ugly. i bet its plastic

  15. 17 yunjaeism April 23, 2009 at 1:42 am

    Yeah,she looks fine just the way she is !
    i won’t want her to look too skinny or bony or being underweight !
    i’m glad she stood up for herself instead of being affected by what people spoke about her and starts dieting.
    Yoobin noona fighting ~^^

  16. 18 jane. April 23, 2009 at 2:22 am

    good for her..sure she seems “chunky” because she used to be so extremely skinny when she debuted but doesn’t mean she’s fat now.

  17. 19 Oliver Cromwell April 23, 2009 at 3:02 am

    I’m glad she’s fine with her weight, but that nose looks fake as get all.

  18. 20 myoungjae April 23, 2009 at 3:07 am

  19. 21 mleria April 23, 2009 at 3:34 am

    Haha… in this blog she’s angry and in every other blog where the blog entry was actually translated or breifly summarised she was embracing herself and saynig she’s fine.

    Just like news, gotta read everywhere or you only get one side ^^

  20. 22 itzjustricky April 23, 2009 at 9:20 am

  22. 24 pouvait April 23, 2009 at 9:55 am

    umm… yoobin is kinda really ugly in that pic. -__-

    or just a bad pic perhaps

  23. 26 maimai1987 April 23, 2009 at 10:33 am

    we cannot blame the netizens, its just that all the other wgs are skinny and sexy, of course they cannot miss yoobin’s figure! i think her body is okay, but if she’s together with the other wgs, her figure really stands out.

  24. 27 bdean2 April 23, 2009 at 12:43 pm

    I wouldn’t exactly call her chunky in that photo but to think she wouldn’t be criticized in the US for carry a little too much weight is misleading.

    Beyonce and Alicia Keys have been criticized for getting a little too “thick” and as for skin tone, Beyonce’s skin tone routinely gets “lightened” in advertisements/photo spreads.

  25. 28 hanj5 April 23, 2009 at 1:41 pm

    waaaaaaaaaaaa.. not again!! =___=”’

    i hate those people.. yoobin is perfectly fine!!
    their eyes must be broken..

    cmon.. we’re not perfect..

  26. 29 .nodame. April 23, 2009 at 3:09 pm

    She said that she was fine with the comments and her weight -.-

    “pale heifers roaming around in America” <– ok, THAT was prejudiced and just wrong. Nothing funny/amusing about that comment at all.

  27. 30 yunji123 April 24, 2009 at 6:44 am

    YOO-BIN HATERS! Who would call her FAT!
    She’s completely fine!! She’s not skinny & not fat,
    but okay! Just Normal! Plus I don’t think she would have gotten in the Wonder Girls if she was fat!
    They like girls with nice bodies!

  28. 32 yumilov April 25, 2009 at 7:23 am

    Popseoul doesn’t seem to like any celebs.

    they think hating on celebs wiill gain them viewers…
    think again.

  29. 33 bee May 6, 2009 at 8:24 pm

    Why on earth would people call her fat??!

    Most of the fans i see watching the Korean stars
    are hella fat, ugly and plain…

    She’s beautiful the way she is.
    That’s that.

  30. 34 LB, CA, USA May 20, 2009 at 5:45 am

    This girl is hot.

  31. 35 Shhh... May 25, 2009 at 12:51 am

    She is the only young Korean singer that I really appreciate the most because she’s not stick thin, exudes a great stage presence and is very much happy and confident of herself. Seriously Koreans should start changing their view of what’s sexy or not.

  32. 36 Jess June 6, 2009 at 11:14 am

    Seriously, how is she fat? Yes she’s gained a little bit of weight since last year but she started off thin so it’s not like she’s a heifer now or anything. And I definitely agree that she’ll be considered tiny and cute in the US so if fans/haters in Korea have a problem with her, they should just get over themselves.

  33. 37 Alex Kwon June 9, 2009 at 8:00 am

    Yoobin looks awesome man, and as a girl i think that curvy/full figured women/girls just always look better than the thinner ones (not to mention they look more happy/confident in their pictures) she has a bit of a chubby face sure, but she had a chubby face BEFORE she gained weight didnt she? lots of people still have a little baby fat in their face, big deal. and as for her body, it looks awesome^_^ it kinda bothers me how in alot of Asian cultures the norm kind of is that girls with tiny and child-like bodies are considered the most beautiful. whats wrong with a little more meat on your bones? that’s just more for people to look at in my opinion. what guy is gonna pay attention to a girl with next to no figure at all? alot of K-Pop girl groups are stuck in this phase where they seem to put more emphasis on how ‘cute’ they can be, rather on how well they can sing and dance (like KARA and SNSD)in my opinion if Yoobin wasnt such a gifted and talented girl, they wouldnt even be bringing her weight to our attention.
    as the Lee Hyori song goes: “U-Go Girl!!!” :-D
