Recent photos of IVE member Jang Won Young have sparked a heated debate on an online community.
In the photos, the IVE member can be seen making adorable expressions for the camera while holding up the Japanese dessert, warabimochi.
What soon drew the attention of many netizens was the way a part of Wonyoung's wrist stood out as noticeably paler or whiter.
Observing the idol's wrist in the photos, K-netizens made various speculations. Some said,
"She must be straining that hand a lot for that part of her wrist to become so white."
"She's so thin that the bone is actually showing through her skin..."
"Wait, how would the bones actually show through the skin though? Is her skin that translucent?"
"How can you say that her 'bone is showing through the skin'?? Is this an x-ray?? That's just how skin gets around the bones when you use the muscles around it."
"Isn't it just the lighting that's making that part more prominent?"
"It's more like the ulnar nerve."
"The bone showing through the skin..? I'm sorry but that's realistically impossible. That's just what happens when you stretch the skin around the bones."
However, others also left comments like, "Wonyoung looks so cute in pigtails", "I think we all know that her wrists are thin. No big deal", "She's just so cute", "What is she eating?", "It's probably just the lighting or the editing that's making it look more pronounced. She's still pretty as hell", and more.
I don't care about downvotes. As someone who was severely malnourished and almost at the point of dying, I get so many flashbacks just looking at her and the recent articles. Fuzz on the body, bony hands, red limbs, balding at the crown of her head. This girl looks like she is spiralling and people encouraging it and calling her body goals are disgusting and no help either to her or younger girls following her.
She is such a sweet, hardworking human being. She needs help.
