On May 26, renowned music producer and Bang Si Hyuk took to Instagram to celebrate the 10th anniversary of the beloved boy group SEVENTEEN with a special photo. The post featured him alongside the group, prompting a wave of reactions from fans and netizens alike.
In his caption, Bang congratulated SEVENTEEN on their milestone and referred to a special event, saying, “Congrats on SEVENTEEN. 10TH_ANNIVERSARY B-DAY PARTY: BURST Stage Jamsugyo Bridge.” The image showed Bang looking noticeably slimmer than last month, igniting discussions across social media platforms.
However, the continued focus on his weight loss has left many netizens feeling fatigued. Comments flowed in, echoing sentiments of annoyance with the recurring media narrative surrounding his physical appearance.
Some netizens expressed their thoughts, saying:
– “But he really did lose a lot of weight. How did he do it?”
– “Stop making me mad starting on Monday.”
– “I didn’t think they’d continue this media play.”
– “I feel like he does more media play on his visuals more than his label’s artists.”
As the discourse unfolded, one user ironically noted a blunder in a recent article, pointing out how the author miscounted the number of SEVENTEEN members present in the photo. Another user remarked, “Seems like the reporter really needed the money.”
Amidst this chatter, Bang’s presence hasn’t gone unnoticed; he’s also been spotted with other artists under the HYBE LABELS, including BTS’s J-Hope and TXT, stirring even more excitement among fans.
As netizens continue to share their opinions about Bang’s aesthetic evolution, it’s clear that the discussions surrounding his weight loss are unlikely to abate anytime soon, feeding into the often relentless machine of K-pop media coverage.
