Red Velvet’s Joy is facing backlash over her sudden, noticeable weight loss. Photos comparing her recent appearance on I Live Alone and airport shots from just weeks later went viral, sparking massive online debate.
Joy’s slimmed-down look at the airport while heading to Japan with Red Velvet members Irene and Seulgi for SMTOWN Tokyo caught fans and netizens off guard. The difference was so sharp, many questioned whether the rapid change was healthy or natural.
The post on Pann gained over 25,000 views within hours, igniting concern and speculation.
“This isn’t just about weight, there’s something else going on.”
“Since she’s going solo, she probably did a quick diet while dealing with the stress.”
“High stress.”
“Why are you asking when you don’t know? She has to sell solo albums and earn money.”
“Losing weight so quickly makes her look a lot older, like a woman in her 40s.”
Critics say the weight loss aged her, shifting her once fresh and youthful image. Fans remain divided, with some admiring the new look while others worry about her health.
Joy’s sudden transformation shows how closely netizens scrutinize every change in K-pop stars. The discussion remains heated as fans monitor the situation.
