Red Velvet’s Joy recently opened up about a comment she often hears that she doesn’t appreciate.

During her guest appearance on ‘Animal Farm,’ Joy sparked a discussion about the unwelcome remarks often heard at family gatherings, especially during Lunar New Year celebrations.

The conversation covered the challenges of holiday gatherings in Korea, from the financial burden of traditional customs and gift-giving to the unwelcome comments from relatives.

Joy expressed her annoyance at these comments, which she sees as criticism disguised as compliments. “Family members often turn simple updates into lectures and scoldings,” she said.

Joy highlighted one comment she particularly dislikes: comments about her weight. “People often say that I’d look prettier if I lost weight,” she shared. In response to such comments, Joy firmly stated, “Please, I can manage my own weight.”

She criticized these so-called ‘well-meaning comments,’ especially when they end with the condescending phrase, “It’s all for your own good.”

Joy’s honest comments highlighted the insensitivity hidden in seemingly harmless remarks, prompting a reflection on the impact of words, even when they’re supposedly out of concern.

Netizens’ comments included:

“She’s right.”

“Can’t believe people are criticizing Joy.”

“Good for her. She’s not even overweight.”

“Even if she was overweight, that’s between her and her doctor. Insults from random people aren’t helpful.”

“She’s a role model ?”

“She looks beautiful and healthy, that’s what’s important!”

“People who suggest weight loss to skinny people are a new kind of monster, especially when it comes from family members who are much heavier.”

“Family members are often the first haters. ?”

“She’s 27 now and entering her 30s, staying ‘underweight’ like in her idol days isn’t possible, safe, or convenient.”

“Some people think she’d look prettier if she lost weight.”

“She’ll always be exceptionally beautiful to me.”

Actress Lim Ji Yeon is finally opening up about the unexpected backlash she received after showing support for actor Jung Woo Sung during his controversial return to the public eye.

In an interview on January 23rd, following the end of her drama The Tale of Lady Ok, Lim Ji Yeon spoke candidly about the situation that caused a stir at the 45th Blue Dragon Film Awards in November last year.

At the event, Jung Woo Sung made his public return after facing controversy surrounding an “illegitimate child” with model Moon Ga Bi. While Jung Woo Sung took the stage to apologize, Lim Ji Yeon was seen clapping and cheering for him.

Reflecting on that moment, Lim Ji Yeon shared, "It was a brief moment, so it’s hard to say whether it was right or wrong." She added, "I didn’t expect the public’s reaction. On the other hand, I was cautious since The Tale of Lady Ok was airing at the time."

For those who missed it, Jung Woo Sung and Moon Ga Bi, who had been in a relationship since 2022, revealed last year that they were expecting a child.

The actor took full responsibility for the situation and issued an apology during the awards ceremony, saying, "I’m sorry for causing concern and disappointment to everyone who has shown me love and support. I will bear all the criticism, and I promise to take full responsibility as a father to my son".

However, while Jung Woo Sung addressed the controversy, it was Lim Ji Yeon’s show of support that sparked controversy.

She cheered enthusiastically for Jung Woo Sung, while actress Hye Ri, who was seated next to her, kept a neutral, expressionless face. This led to a wave of criticism from some netizens who questioned Lim Ji Yeon’s reaction.

It’s worth noting that Lim Ji Yeon’s agency, Artist Company, was co-founded by Jung Woo Sung and actor Lee Jung Jae, both of whom currently serve as directors.

Could this connection have influenced Lim Ji Yeon’s public display of support? She’s still processing the response, and fans are curious to know how she’ll handle the fallout moving forward.
