The controversy began when Yunjin posted a message on Weverse addressing body shaming and encouraging self-acceptance. She said:

“I think there are a lot of young people who are having a hard time because of the image of their bodies. There are so many things that are much more interesting to you than you appear to be. I always think the standard…”

Soon after, netizens criticized Yunjin harshly. Many accused her of hypocrisy, pointing to plastic surgery rumors and saying she shouldn’t speak on body positivity. Some even dragged fellow member Sakura into the debate, claiming Sakura’s views disqualified Yunjin from commenting on the topic.

Tweets from critics included:

“tell fatphobic Sakura that” — @haseulagenda

“This is so performative coming from a kpop idol idk” — @jennierational
