AKMU‘s Suhyun went viral after her iconic explanation as to why she “Can’t lose weight.”
Suhyun has been extremely busy with her AKMU promotions and starring on variety shows, and the idol looks healthy and glowing in her appearances, both on television and on her social media.
Of course, it’s not surprising in an industry where your image is huge that some netizens have negatively shared their belief that Suhyun has gained weight throughout her time as a celebrity. Yet, the idol had the best response when she gave the reason why she can’t lose weight, and it went viral. During a live broadcast, Suhyun adorably explained that the reason she “can’t lose weight” is because of fans telling her how cute she is.
You guys keep telling me that I’m cute and lovable and that’s why I can’t lose weight!
— Suhyun
In particular, she said that fans were “cute-lighting” her, which is a spin-off of the word gaslighting, which she meant in the way of saying that fans are manipulating her into thinking she’s cute.
Yet, while it isn’t uncommon for netizens to be quite brutal and harsh about idols and their weight, the comments for Suhyun were nothing but positive. In the comments, netizens couldn’t stop gushing over Suhyun’s cuteness, and how that is the best way to describe the idol.
- “But you really are so so so cute…”
- “But you’re so cute.”
- “So cute lololol”
- “We’re just stating facts! What else can we say? We’re saying something is cute because they are cute!”
While it is the expectation that netizens always react negatively to idols and weight, Suhyun and AKMU fans prove otherwise.
