The post triggered a heated debate. Some users agreed that Ozempic seemed to be an issue in K-Pop. Others argued many idols are losing extreme amounts of weight because of not eating, strict diets, and tight schedules.

Idk why you guys think the entire kpop industry is on ozempic when they are typically just all on adhd and antidepressants that suppress the appetite. Genuinely they were like this before the mass release of glpts and they’d be open about their apple a day diets. https://t.co/12GiiUucB3
