Sadly, I expect that Giselle and Ningning will look like your typical skinny idols in a few years... When Joy and Yeri first debuted, they were also a little chubbier (I hope that means they were eating enough, they were so young at debut) [Pann] Joy's uncomfortable crop top on stage (warning that the links goes to Netizenbuzz, it's the only link I could find) I suppose their weight loss (and PS as well actually) could be due to a whole bunch of factors, like being surrounded by other perfect idols, company pressure, rude comments

I just spent an hour researching kibbe types and I'm still confused about what mine is... Are they any similar to biotypes actually? Because I definitely know my biotype (ectomorph), but I'm so conflicted about kibbe types. Mostly because I have a round baby face, but I'm very leggy and look tall for my height. I took an online quiz that didn't seem very reliable and I'm probably Romantic, Gamine or Soft Gamine but I'm reading through the descriptions and looking at similar celebrities and I don't see any of myself in them. How did y'all figure out your types – just going through the subreddit for a long time?

Not sure what this adds to the conversation, but I saw Red Velvet in real life and all of them had teeny tiny heads (except Joy's, whose head was a little bigger, but she was also SO MUCH prettier in real life. She looks amazing in photos already, but in real life, wow) The hair colours remind me of Irene&Seulgi actually – everyone thought it was going to be a 'twins' concept from the teaser photos and music video, then they went and dyed Seulgi's hair red. (and gave Irene a blond wig like 1 time)

I agree with almost everything here. Also I just remembered Irene had the pink hair at debut, which definitely would've added to the pretty/girly/visual image Wendy was GORGEOUS at debut, I saw a few people saying they thought she was the visual. I saw some old posts here saying she might've gotten a jaw shave because her face was slightly bigger. I really hope that's the reason, not because they wanted Irene to look even better As for Joy, her original role was definitely the cutie – just look at her name. I think she mentioned once that she felt a bit lost when Yeri joined the group and became the "cute maknae" Seulgi looked great ICC era though, I have to add this photo of her

Before watching the video, I had a list in my head and my list pretty much matched. It helps that I've seen k-nets praising Ryujin's visuals, and insulting Lia's ones. I think Lia's features fit the standards better, but based on the whole face, Ryujin fits the standards more – does that make sense? I always thought she resembled Apink's Naeun

The way all the photos of Tzuyu have been lightened I'm not sure if her skin's been lighter since, but she's always had more tanned skin! Off-topic but this reminds me of Jihyo whitewashing herself lol

Oh I remember when Twice debuted and all the comments were about Jeongyeon! I find her very pretty for sure, especially when she had a bob haircut. Ohh I didn't include Karina in the visuals that look unique, I do agree she fits all the standards to a tee. I forgot she (and Winter) got a lot of comparisons to Taeyeon just a few months back Tzuyu doesn't have the typical chin/jaw you see on a K-pop idol I think, and she has darker skin but she is VERY pretty. I love looking at Yooa's face as well, they call her a real-life doll for a reason. Also I've been curious about who was in your icon for ages, I finally did a reverse search and it's Park Sodam!! She looks so different in that photo, love her though, she's so cute

Ahh you guys were talking about Seulgi while I was asleep! It's no secret that I love her LOL and I do agree that she'll age amazingly. Just looking at her pre-debut photos, she looks practically the same She doesn't have the same elegant beauty as Irene for sure, but they do look alike from the side sometimes

I was just thinking about this! I noticed that "visual members" among idols have been a lot more varied recently actually. People used to say Yoona/Suzy/Krystal etc. looked plain or basic, Sohee was probably the only non-basic visual at one point. But now visuals are a lot more varied: Jennie (Jisoo is the "official" visual of BP, but Jennie is arguably the "world's visual"), Tzuyu, YooA don't exactly fit into the old visual mould because they have features that stand out (not exactly flaws though), but everyone constantly talks about how pretty they are anyway. And like someone commented a few pages back, Karina doesn't look like any idol I've ever seen While writing this I realised how out of touch I am with K-pop members lately, if you guys think of any other visuals that don't fit the "norm" or have standout features feel free to add them haha

Yeah exactly! A quick search of "lisa nose job" alone on Twitter shows people saying she never got a nose job, with hundreds of retweets That's one of the reasons I love going through the r/UglyDuckling subreddit – you get to see how actual puberty/weight loss/make-up/growing into your features works for common people who (most likely) haven't had plastic surgery Honestly when I first discovered this thread a few months back, I remember searching for all my favourite idols and getting 'turned off' when I realised none of them were natural LOL. I knew there was plastic surgery but I thought it was just here and there, not literally everywhere. I'm not sure how to explain it, but generally I was just shocked that some faces that I thought were so good-looking weren't... real? + I was sad that they succumbed to the pressures of being a celebrity and went through such invasive procedures But then I realised no one is really 100% natural and it's actually done wonders for my perspective on beauty standards + the celebrity industry as a whole + my own self-esteem, even. I think we say it every few pages but that's one of the reasons I really appreciate this thread

I've seen people wishing idols a happy birthday after discussing their plastic surgery here a few times, and for some reason it's just so funny to me... "yeah they got lip fillers and a nose job oh also happy birthday!". We should discussing idols' PS on their birthdays solely for this reason, it always gets a good laugh out of me

Wow, I'm no expert but I think the eyelid surgery was done REALLY well on Renjun. I would never have noticed it if not for the photos shared earlier. It made his eyes a tiny bit bigger which actually made all the difference, and fits in really well with the rest of his features. Maybe it would've helped with the "pure boy" image they were pushing at the start

(I'm following @lighterxx and putting the quote inside a spoiler, I never realised you could do that) Ahh glad to hear the eyelid tape worked for you! It's crazy how some sticky tape can just.. change such a defining part of someone's face that easily. How long did you wear it for before you noticed a change in your eyelids? I wore it a couple times and my eyelids have been fine so far I think. I have a pack of eyelid tape right next to me and now I'm excited to start using them LOL I never noticed that about Joy! I've seen some people on Twitter saying she has a monolid on one eye and I was so confused, I guess it just looks that way because one crease is higher than the other

Yes, for sure this happens! Someone I know had one double eyelid and one single eyelid. She applied double eyelid tape every day for a long time and made it double permanently. Her newborn baby's got one double eyelid and one single eyelid as well, guess the process might repeat with her lol My mother had single eyelids but developed hers naturally in her 20's. I definitely inherited her eyes but I only get double eyelids on my left eye when I'm tired or sick – I'm just waiting to develop my permanent double eyelids now. I wonder how many idols this happened to as well, considering how often they probably wear double eyelid tape. I've even read blog posts from people who wore them before sleeping (although I don't know how it can create an indentation when your eyes are closed?) and got the double eyelids. Maybe I should start wearing tape to speed up the process too... I also heard some people get double eyelids from wearing contacts or eyelash extensions (I forgot which)??? Which would make it even harder for us to discern lol. Which idols regularly wear tape/glue actually? I think I saw someone mention Sunny a while back But yeah, eyelid tape is really obvious, especially when your eyes are closed. It's just plastic at the eyelids. It's hard to tell for K-pop idols when they wear heavy eye make-up or get their entire faces blurred and lightened by fansites though, lol

Wow, I never quite 100% understood what "looking tight" meant until I saw this photo of Lia (and the hairstyle doesn't help for sure) Why do young idols (she's 21 this year) get fillers? Her pre-debut photos looked fine

RIP I'll never be able to look at that music video thumbnail the same way again. I actually found out what veneers are because of Taeyeon LOL, I think she got a new set around then because her smile looked a little different? I haven't seen her gums in years Momo's teeth were too big before??

Omg. I'm a few hours late but I'm SO GLAD we're talking about teeth, it's one of the first things I notice about idols and I've always wanted to talk about them lol Momo and Sana have the most distracting veneers I've ever seen. They have bigger features so the veneers match, but the teeth are just a bit too big and perfect imo

Why are yall using both metric and imperial systems I never knew what an ectomorph etc. was until I looked it up, now it all makes sense to me. I'm short (about 156cm-158cm) but I've always said I'm a short person with average body fat in a tall skinny person's body. That never made sense until I realised I'm just an ectomorph Speaking from personal experience, body proportions do WONDERS. People say from photos I look about 164cm, and in real life they think I'm 160cm+ because my body is super short but my legs super long lol Sometimes I forget Taemin's actually not that tall compared to Jonghyun because of how long his legs are. And wow I never realised Heechul and Leeteuk aren't their real heights either Are most SM guys' real heights all shorter than the K-pop boy average, or do they just feel shorter because SM fakes their heights??

I mean, it definitely also depends on region. Statistically Koreans are taller than the rest of Asia. I'm also living in Asia and there are definitely tall people and REALLY tall people. But yeah for sure some of the idols we've discussed don't have their real heights on their profiles The imagery is so funny to me LOL but yeah.. he always seems to be standing next to a taller member as well so I've given up perceiving his height

Wow, this really supports what someone else above said about male idols faking their heights because it helps with image. Now I want to see all male idols stand in one line barefoot and just figure out their heights once and for all LOL

There are cases like Big Bang where they increased Taeyang's height, then had to increase the heights of all the other members so that it would look less obvious if they were all standing together lol. Wonder if any other groups are doing this atm as well

This (very detailed) analysis sounds about right to me. Also reminds me of how cryptic Sungchan was being about their heights lol. He said they haven't measured, but going by this analysis, he's probably like 184cm then

Can't believe I'm also discussing fake birthdays on this thread LOL but Ten's new age is probably the real one? Because he always teases Kun about being old and Kun reminds him that he's just a month older than Ten lol It reminds me of this moment though

Is it funny for shorter men to have sexy images or take off their shirts? I'm confused lol But yeah I saw this tweet that went "I've seen Ten's bare chest more than I've seen my friends this year" which was funny

Pre-debut Tzuyu's eyes kind of resembled Seventeen's Jun's current eyes lol. She had more done than I expected, I initially attributed the changes to her eyebrow shape as well. Did Dahyun get something done to her eyes as well? Despite the monolids, her eyes have never been too small. She just looks really wide-eyed in the past few years but it could be the make-up
