Okay, fellow ONCE — have you seen the clips of Jeongyeon from TWICE’s recent shows? A bunch of TikToks featuring her moments on stage have been blowing up, and while most of the comments are full of stanning and awe, a loud corner of the internet turned it into a discussion about her “upgraded” visuals — and worse, tied that praise to weight.
Short version: fans shared viral videos of Jeongyeon looking stunning in recent shows. Some netizens praised her by saying she’s “back” or that she looks so good because she lost weight — language that many viewers called out as a backhanded compliment. Other fans fired right back, posting videos defending her and pointing out that Jeongyeon has always been beautiful and deserves respect, not commentary that reduces her to body changes.
One fan clip that went viral showed an OP angrily responding to the “Jeongyeon is back” line, calling out the implication that she wasn’t always pretty and decrying how people keep tying her looks to weight. The reaction from the fandom has been overwhelmingly protective and frustrated at the reductive framing.
Quick context for anyone catching up:
- Jeongyeon (Yoo Jeong‑yeon) debuted with TWICE in 2015 after the survival show Sixteen, under JYP Entertainment.
- TWICE is a nine‑member group known for hits like “Cheer Up,” “TT,” and “Fancy,” and they have a huge global fandom.
- Jeongyeon has publicly taken breaks before for health reasons (including anxiety), which fans often mention when defending her privacy and wellbeing.
As fans, it’s awesome to see Jeongyeon getting viral love for simply being herself on stage — but it’s also a reminder that comments framed as compliments can still hurt. The takeaway? Celebrate the queen without reducing her to weight or implying she wasn’t always gorgeous. Let’s stan with kindness.
