However, the buzz intensified when a viral video from the festival raised eyebrows about the possibility of NingNing using hip pads. This discussion came on the tails of similar allegations directed at ITZY’s Yuna, who faced backlash for allegedly using hip pads during a recent performance.
The debate surrounding NingNing’s appearance has led to mixed reactions online, with some fans defending her and emphasizing that there’s nothing wrong with using body-enhancing garments. Many argue that idol culture shouldn’t subject performers to scrutiny for their choices regarding their looks.
A flurry of tweets illustrated the divide among fans. One user proclaimed, “Ningning’s body proportion 🫠” while another remarked, “NINGNING BODY GOALS and all natural 😻,” highlighting the appreciation from supporters.
