TWIG QUEEN :: @nyahaahi
BOM :: @bb__vely_ / / @springagain0131
TAESANG :: @taesang_with_dreams - Zábava
Taesang is always the most logical.
One of the problems is that in Korea, slim = handsome, and this is something that has a negative impact on many young girls.
Not only in korea. The documentary they watched was from china.
3:32
everyone:28kg!?
taesang: that's probably the weight of my left thigh
😂 That was funny fr
🤣🤣
Bro 28kg skinnier than me and I’m a skinny 11 year old and I don’t even weigh that little 😭 I’m honestly so concerned… I also have an ED but damn bro
i feel bad because people who suffer with body issues reacting to videos like this can be triggering. they handled it very well.
Compared to me , they handle it well.Im very determined to loose weight and I often don't think about myself at all when starving.But they have handled it well and im proud of them
Those skinny enough challenges are tragic to look at... those poor girls. Vice News did a piece on that same girl a few months ago, it's so sad because she feels pressured by Chinese society to be so skinny. Also Bom is ALWAYS beautiful, she should feel that way all the time, I know sometimes it's very hard to see yourself positively but even when you don't see it, it's still there and you're still beautiful. ❤️❤️
Pleased that Taesang brought up the need for skin and fat to cushion and protect your organs. Likewise, you need fat to support neural functionality. Taesang also hitting us with reason: "Healthy is beautiful".
Prayers to them all. Don’t skips days of eating
Twig Queen needs to eat. Bom needs to eat. Everyone deserves food. The part of your brain telling you that you don't "deserve" or "need" food is an illness.
They do have ED, but don’t define themselves as having an ED.
@@taoist32 yea its apart of the disorder.
Coming from someone overweight and struggling to lose it, you are all beautiful and talented young people
Good luck on your journey.
"Being healthy is also beautiful"
Yess!! Preach it louder!!
I'm glad they brought up that there are different standards for those in entertainment vs ordinary people. There's a problem when people hold themselves to the standards of models and idols, because those people work out and diet diligently for work. A normal person does not need to do all that to achieve success.
And yes it is a problem that celebrities go to extreme measures for their appearances, but I'm just saying it's even more absurd when you aren't on camera.
To be honest
Looking at any idol and I never see anything really impressive
Ok girls idols are skinny but I know personally girls that are personal trainers that look way better
Guys idols are only little bit muscular
To be honest if we consider Korean genetics and metabolism
You don’t need to do much to maintain that
If you Korean or Asian
So I believe that when idols talking about their
“Brutal” regime ( like navy seals don’t train that hard 😹😹) they are just lying a lot
@@allenk6373 i think the trouble with idols is that close to debut they are expected to lose weight really fast. Idols have said that they’d be weighed weekly and expected to show a certain amount of change- but that’s not easy for everyone’s body. So thats where the extreme dieting comes in. Even if Asian people are generally slimmer than others, not everyone can lose large amounts on a strict timetable. For some the expectations are so unreasonable they have to just starve themselves to reach goals. Being Korean does not automatically mean you’re gonna be skinny.
2 mins in and taesang 100% has the right idea
❤️❤️❤️ Taesang. "Enjoy your life with your own standards ... Enjoy your life, not others." He is positive therapy in a boyfriend.
I have ED but with overeating and it’s sad to always feel unsatisfied with yourself and constantly feeling guilty about food. I hope all three of them can see how beautiful they are and not worry or obsess over it too much.
when I'm lonely or stressed out I eat to calm myself... I dont like my body since most guys I have a crush on are smaller than me
what Taesang said at the end was so wholesome T.T
When Bom said Taesang looks best on camera, look at his smile.
All 3 of you look great. It's hard to say because i know myself that when others complement me it means little. I still feel fat and ugly. It's not about how others perceive you. *It's about how you perceive yourself.*
I think most people have body dysmorphia in one way or another. I've only been ok with my looks once in my life for about a month. Afterwards I hurt my back and covid began so I stopped being active, I went from 167.5lbs to 200lbs. It's hard. I'm working on being vegan and working out with lots of cardio so I can get some semblence of who i want to be back. With my back issue I think I was hit with major depression. Still feel like doing nothing.
I almost teared up seeing Twig Queen almost cry. 🥺
Korean society sounds so awesome. /s
Do all the women there have eating disorders? Seriously. It's downright disgusting that the "beauty standard" over there has forced this.
A lot of countries have eating disorders unfortunately. In Korea it's anorexia while in the US its bulimia
@@evaristedudas7250True. But the US does have it's fair share of anorexia problems. Especially seen that in college with some of the girls I knew who'd complain and say they were feeling fat, and so they'd stop eating all together for days just surviving on snacks. No real meals, no meats, maybe some small amounts of fruit.
That's not healthy either.
Health officials like Doctors know how the human body should work. Listen to their recommendations on how to eat healthy. Self control is a good practice. Exercise and activity can be helpful. Don't let societies beauty standards be your standards or you will be controlled by others. Have your own standards that align more with a Doctor/Health official's stance on what a healthy human body weight to height is versus what people might consider attractive in one society but not another. Modeling is a very tough career because they have a skewed view of what "beauty" is compared to the average person in society. They make normal healthy looking women seem overweight when in reality they are far from overweight.
Outstanding advice!
Twig Queen and Bom is very beautiful but I do hope that they take good care of theirselves
I watched that original documentary sometime ago, and it really opened my eyes. Being skinny doesn't define beauty. I'm still struggling with my body image too, but I hope no one will feel bad about themselves.
As someone that has had an ED (and doesn't feel triggered anymore) it's sad to know that people still think they need to be skinny to be accepted. Everyone's probably heard this a million times already, but your bodies are perfect the way they are. Your body is what keeps you alive and it needs fuel (food) to keep it going. I know that every person that skips meals and days of eating is extremely tired and barely has enough energy to get up in the morning. They are not happy and can't enjoy the things they love because they do have that energy that is needed.
Love yourself, you deserve it xoxo Cleo
28kg??? That's the size of a small child 😨.
Bomi i am a male with a small eating/weight problem but you should never feel like you are fat if you clearly aren't i watch your stream everytime i can and damn your really pretty. Not fat. you only and always feel and know you are healthy. everyone should never resort to going too skinny or too fat. but as i always say and ask my ma and she asks me back. Are you Happy and/or Comfortable? without hesitation ALWAYS say yes. so you mentally know and feel that way. so what if you gain like 1lb/0.4kg its would called happy weight just make sure you do daily exercises if you do become anxious. Much Love Bomi💖🫀and everyone who thinks they need to look a certain way.
Taesang and I have the same morals lolz
In my opinion, Bom is gorgeous, you should not pay any attention to malicious comments, be happy with yourself, you are a jewel, much love from Spain. 💕💕💕💕
Very good analysis from Taesang
6:23 "Beauty is being free and healthy" that's true, because so many people are in that cycle of "I need to lose weight" even though they're already very thin maybe even border line unhealthy thin. Though I know some people have to lose or gain weight due to a medical condition or medications.
Which in my case, I can't be lower than 130lbs because of all the medication I take everyday. So I have to keep my weight up even if I want to lose weight. Which I should keep in mind since I gained too much weight.
Bom, sending you my love. So sorry people are mean to you in comment section.
Good to see all three doing good...👍
Finally bom is here 🙏🏻🙏🏻😌
Korea has so many wonderful things to see and experience. This is NOT one of them. Their twisted views of "beauty" is actually so harmful physically and mentally. They need therapy and they also need to be educated on the long-term effects of what they're doing to their bodies.
The "skinny enough Challenge" needs to be taken down, because that can lower peoples self-esteem, a challenge like that can take a big mental toll on others, I really hope those ladies are taking that guy's words, Personally I think any parts of east Asia have very high beauty standards, when it comes to your shape, height, and color. It just bothers me that its a challenge (triggered) CRYING :(
Amazing job guys, I hope can help many people 🙏.
This really just proves the lookism and the very high standard of beauty in tge world especially korea and how it is so crucial to them. Covering unhealthy diets with "taking care of yourself" starving to look good on cam becoz to them skinny=pretty it sucks
i watched somewhere a korean girl trainee that was said to be too "fat" but she is healthy, her bmi is normal and the judge told her to "take care of herself" meaning to lose weight
taesung is so cute and knowledgeable 🙂🙂
3 of you look the best 💯
The White dress is pretty queen
Am your big fan👀😌✨
Taesang is the mvp
You have to be so so careful, as long as you are healthy no problem but you should get at least a body fat test every so often and weighed too. If its too stressful to get weighed then let some one do it while you keep your eyes closed and let them keep a record. Someone you can trust. And be VERY careful especially of other girls who may try to mess with you by saying "oh did you gain a little weight? You look a little heavier today" because they are jealous of you. I worry a little about "Twig Queen" with a nic name like that you kind of back yourself into a corner. Also I've seen you before in another video and I'm just a little nervous. You need a good friend who can look at you and tell you if you are going too far, you can't do it yourself. If you look in a mirror you will always look the same. Honestly if I could talk you out of all this I would, but I know I can't so PLEASE be careful and get a good friend to keep an eye on you.
This societal pressure to be very thin is not prevalent or the majority. If you ask many Korean people about those girls, they would say that they have to add weight. However, the girls themselves can't hear those voices but only hear the rare voices that tell them to lose weight. Hence, the view of people that Korea has such a toxic body issue problem. Tbh, taesang's thought process is more common in Korea regarding body weight.
In the song Sans Soleil by Alexisonfire, “it’s easier to love someone else, than it is to be kind to yourself. “
If someone is a healthy weight and another person says "you're fat", the second person is WRONG. Ignore those wrong people. I know it's hard. Listen to doctors about what weight range is healthy for you.
Twig Queen is so pretty as is Bom. It is a shame that they feel they need to impress others. Such a shame.
If someone wants to be skinny or not is their choice but please try to find a healthy way to get there. If you don't reach your goal, at least you will be healthy enough to try something else. We each have our own image of what is attractive so don't push your image on someone else however, don't let yourself be upset if you are not someone else's idea of what they want. Be happy and healthy and set your own physical standard
BTW... Bom has always been a beautiful woman every episode I have seen her in. The camera has not made her ever look big. Please don't be afraid to eat, even if it is just a little bit. Stay safe and healthy so we can enjoy seeing you on more videos for a long time ❤️
Taesang correct, just feels like a huge anorectic mentality this. Sad to watch.
this is kind of unrelated but the guest's hairstyle is really pretty it works really well with her face
I'm here for Taesang hyping up healthy bodies. 👏🏻 💙
Everyone that’s on the GIGGLE CZcams channel looks great that said tell YUMI not too lose anymore weight or she’ll disappear and nobody wants that to happen
My BOM
How about showing them videos of before an after the gym? Skinny girls edition. There are plenty of girls who kept trying to lose weight and not being satisfied, but when they restored muscle mass to the right places they looked slimmer than at lower weights. eg. picture at 85 kg, then picture at 100kg showing slimmer at the higher weight.
Please i want next video with bom kyujun and Yumi please 🥺
These beauty standards are insane!
When Bom said she felt like she looked fat on camera I was surprised, she is beautiful the way she looks and I thought she was very skinny already but she still looks healthy. mabey she has an eating disorder or she compare herself with those are even skinnier who look like they are sick 😯
I have watched alot of kdrama and listened to kpop for over 10 years and I have always noticed how skinny they all are.
And during the last years I have learned alot more about the modeling/ acting and music industry and to be able to get a job they have to have "perfect" bodies.
The surgeries they do to change their face and their bodies because of the high expectations are crazy. People who already are skinny wants to get even more skinnier and take away as much fat as possible from example their legs, And the eating habits must be bad when they are able to be that skinny or they work out alot and eat healthy.
But the industry is so unhealthy, and I don't understand why they still have these beauty standards in South Korea. It's damaging and will give people eating disorders just to keep a job. 🥺
Love from Nepal 🇳🇵♥️🥰
Trying to look good on camera is kind of a trap
You actually need to be skinnier than you are to look the same way on camera
That's why most idols actually weight less than what you would think by looking at their pictures
The trap is that a lot of people (especially girls) tend to think they need to weight as much as the idol in order to have the same looking body. On camera yes you probably will but that's not the case in real life, you actually need to weight more than them to look the same
It's so sad to hear people are choosing not to eat over what they perceive to be some beauty ideal. Please eat, eat regularly and healthily. Your body and mind will thank you for it.
If you love food like I do, a bit of exercise on top will really help as well, it feels so good to look forward to and enjoy food.
You are all beautiful and you'd look even better if you were fully healthy with it. Listen to Taesang, he talks sense!
In the start when you say u look fat on camera I was like, What your gorgeous 🤗
BOM AND TWIG QUEEN NEED TO EAT. Really EAT, WE ARE WORRIED ABOUT YOU. DIDDYBOPER ♥️💝 💖💕😇
Well in my opinion Bom do not need to be more skinny plus if she gains some weight like 4 kg she will look more beautiful and if not well she is either way beautiful and for the middle girl she is so beautiful please do not lose weight you look way more attractive like this
i'm shocked.
bom looks different
Love ❣️❣️
The new actor looks so cute.😍😍
Thin line to walk.
Please eat Bom and Twig Queen, I used to have an eating disorder and it made me miserable. I know the pressure to be thin is really harsh in Korea but please try to see how beautiful you are (and you are! Gorgeous women! ) Please eat well and I wish you good health!
Can anyone plz gimme the information of the middle gal she's so dope 🥺💌
Lol that’s just how wide your rib cage is, I’m a size 0 and tiny and my rib cage is bigger then that.
Taesang: i might look like a huge pizza compared to you guys i could feel it😂😂.
And why is it so necessary to be skinny. Body isn't something that needs to be beautiful its the soul that need to be.
I could relate to Taesang and is thoughts.
Hats off to Taesang
sometimes it is hard to hear for me that people think if they don't eat they will be healthy skinny. but thats not how your body works, if you don't eat then the body will first store all the fat you need to survive, then when you don't eat for a longer time your body will eventually use your muscle for energy. thats why super skinny persons you can only see bones because their body used their muscle to survive.
Not eating is all in your head and is a serious condition. Bom and Twig queen also knows that, they could even eat above 2000 callories for the whole week and not gain any weight they will just think they did.
just be healthy and not just skinny.
from a ex skinny person :) now a healthy person :D
koreans react to American girl group Boys World
Omg 39 secc Ahsgsfsga Hii beautiful people
The dude looks a little like ryeowook of SuJu
They think they’re skinny. They should go react to eugenia cooney. Idk how she’s still standing tbh.
55kg or more, would look so much better on these women.
62 lbs. I've curled more weight than that
It makes me worry & feel very sad to hear these girls say they don't eat food regularly :( They would surely be pretty and popular even if they ate a few meals each day
They are pretty and popular
As someone who’s actually overweight i found this very triggering , like what am i if that’s fat…
Will they do one for obese people
Any Korean e-sport fan who speaks English. I need real-time information for a project
The two girls make no sense as they say don't pay attention to what others say about your body and you need to be health yet they starve themselves for 2 or 3 days before shooting this video.
And here I am underweight and unhealthy, trying hard to gain weight and not successful 😭
Not eating for days is horribly unhealthy. And you should never judge yourself by how you look on camera or in a video. If you are an 18 to 34 year old female and you stand at least 5' to 5.5" (152 centimeters to 167 centimeters) you should weigh between 97 to 150 pounds. (44 to 68 kilograms) If you are less than 44 kilos then something is wrong. You need help.
Both ladies need to eat and gain a little weight for definition. They should know the "skinny" is not beautiful especially when it affects your health.
I’m sure it’s a good video but I can’t watch. During my six years teaching English in Korean schools I ALWAYS worried about the girls who were worried about their weight.
💔🥺👋
Me as a overweight person with 135kg and 180cm. I had a lot of body shaming when I was a kid. Yes I look fat but I trying to do something with it to make myself feel good in my body. That's why i went to the doctor to scan my whole body. Fat, muscle and other things proportion. There was I suprised when my doctor said that my body already have 75kg of pure muscle. So I started to build up more and more muscle to have something what can burn the remaining fat away. I hope that will work. I want to feel good in my shape and be healthy.
Tbh what the two girls told in the beginning is very unhealthy and it defeats the whole purpose of talkings bout Ed's
Who came up with these challenges? We men do like women to be skinny but not skinny like a mummy.
this is so sad
I feel really sad that this industry has compelled people to be "skinny enough" to hide their waist behind A4 paper...
Everyone needs some fat. If you have 0% fat, you are probably dead.
Body fat percentage is a more accurate measure of "fatness" for health than a visual inspection. Just eyeballing it can be misleading, since everyone has different skeletal structure and muscles through lifestyle, training, and personal health considerations. But even body fat % is not a perfect measure, either. As they said, being healthy in mind and body is more important than forcing yourself to look like someone else (even if social pressure to conform can be very stressful).
For body fat percentage we all have a different sweet spot of mental, physical, and emotional health. Media tends to shoot several points below what is natural or healthy, which distorts our cognitive bias through frequency.
The best thing you can do, as they all said in the video, is to find your own (healthy) standards. Different sources will vary in numbers, but approximately 25-30% is normal for women, 20-25% is a fairly fit level (and VERY approximately where many people think women look attractive, but remember this still varies a lot, so do not follow this number rigidly!), and 15-20% is considered athletic, slim, or even skinny for women. Health and functions start to break down in the low % range.
Importantly, this has NOTHING to do with the person's weight. Someone could be 42 kg yet unhealthy-fat, or 70 kg and athletic-skinny. Understand your body first, and don't try to force a 70 kg body into an unrealistic 45 kg ideal.
Even professional bodybuilders still keep fat on. Health studies say that men should never go below 2% (which is an insanely low level for any human), and women should not go below 10%, to stay healthy. In competition season, bodybuilders will drop to about 7-10% body fat. This is not sustainable for any long period, so most of the year they will maintain a healthy fat level at 9-13%. (these numbers are for men -- women should probably add 3-8%, to align with the general fitness approximate values from above)
One of my students is a professional body builder, and he says that he can feel himself becoming stupid from lack of energy, water, and nutrition when he prepares for a contest or show. He only has the mental energy to barely keep up his gym workout, go home, and stare at the TV. It's easy to get irritable and yell at anything that bothers him. At that point, he usually measures his body fat around 6-8%. But he says that it is a constant, hard uphill fight. 12-15% would be much easier to sustain and at that level he feels much more active and able to do other sports like wrestling and martial arts that require dynamic physical and mental effort. (again, probably need to add several % points for women)
Asians tend to have less of a cultural reflex for exercise (as the girls often joke in these videos), but just a tiny bit of muscle tone can 1) help burn off unwanted fat (higher basal metabolic rate as well as more muscle to consume energy from fat) and 2) create definition that enhances aesthetic lines and curves so that you don't NEED to starve yourself out of that extra 1% fat. I think younger Asians (at least Asian-Americans I know) value exercise more than older Asians, but there's still a lot of misconception and lack of priority for even basic fitness. Even in the US, a lot of women think that ANY exercise will suddenly make them puff up like a bodybuilder, so they never pick up weights heavier than 1-2 kg. That's a whole different topic, but TLDR is no, you won't if you don't have testosterone. It's totally fine to work with light weights (2-5 kg or even more for larger muscle groups like legs), or just do bodyweight calisthenics. This is another big topic to not get into in this comment alone, so don't take any part of this comment as being 100% accurate.
All that said, I'm a guy, and I know that I don't have to live every day with the kind of social pressures that women face from EVERYONE -- even other women -- for unrealistic beauty standards. I'm not saying it's easy, or just don't succumb to it. I just hope that this gives a context to understand what is healthy or reasonable, so that if you do pursue some beauty standard, you will learn what is a healthy target for your own body that you can be happy with.

Bit strange editing here. Would have been better to have the team in a small window. No way to see what was happening on that Chinese vid if viewed on mobile.
While this is a problem, the bigger problem is that many overweight people don't think they are overweight and tell others who are at a healthy weight that they are too skinny. That's why obesity has become a global epidemic and is the number one cause of health related problems and death.
