Jesus that's dark... but it's the truth. To elaborate on what he says about looking good on screen, on top of the already insane beauty standards, certain camera lenses will distort your body and face proportions to make certain features look bigger, or "fatter". As idols are constantly on camera, they must look perfect all the time, but it's sad that being severely underweight is considered perfect.
