Actress Jung Ho-yeon got a lot of fame after her appearance on Netflix’s Squid Game. The star who received lots of love and appreciation from her fans across the world recently posted her pictures on social media and many of her fans are not happy with the comments the post received. Many social media users started to express their concern about what seemed like a drastic weight loss. However, as fans’ comments about her apparent weight loss surfaced, many others insisted that they were essentially ‘body shaming’ her and needed to stop.

The 27-year-old is active on social media, where she regularly shares glimpses from her life. In her recent post she shared a number of pictures last week which led to some fans sharing concerns that Jung looked like she had lost a lot of weight. “I don’t want to come off negative at all, just want to say that seeing you in the black dress made me a bit worried,” commented one fan. Others echoed similar sentiments.

Even as fans shared concerns about the actor’s health, others countered by saying that such comments about her weight and appearance amounted to body-shaming. “Like stop body shaming her and commenting on her body. Some people are saying, ‘good job for being so skinny!’ Some are saying, ‘eat something’ – worry about yourself. She eats for crying out loud. Stop trippin. Everybody is not cut from the same mold. Let her do her,” wrote a fan.

Other fans too joined the conversation advising actress not to pay heed to any negative comments. One fan commented, “You are beautiful as you are, you don’t need to do anything, or change something in yourself to please society.”

In past interviews, Jung has revealed that she lose weight after the success of Squid Games. “I lost 6 pounds (around 3kg) in a week when it became successful. I couldn’t eat — it wasn’t stress, I just didn’t know this feeling. I was kind of losing myself” she was quoted saying in one of her interviews. In another interview, the model-turned-actor admitted that she “didn’t have time to eat” after she moved to the US in November.
