In a local forum, a Korean netizen posted a side-by-side comparison of NewJeans Haerin's past and present photos, and said, "Let's lose some weight. I was surprised how round she was while watching Music Bank. Did you eat a lot on Lunar New Year? I'm not telling you to lose weight like crazy. I just want you to find the form when you debuted. Haerin, it's really sad because you have such a pretty face."
The post enraged fellow Korean netizens, who instantly defended the rookie idol:
- There's nothing wrong with her. Shut up.
- Close your mouth, OP.
- What weight gain? This was just her on the way to Music Bank.
- Her cheeks are her charm, you idiot.
- Haerin, baby, just eat whatever you want. There's nothing wrong with you.
- Get lost, OP.
- Lose your weight first, OP.
- Haerin will always be pretty even if she gains weight.
- Haerin didn't gain weight. Besides, kids at her age should eat more.
- Why would she lose weight? Haerin is pretty.
- She looks like Winter on the right photo.
- Don't be a jerk. NewJeans are attractive because of their natural charms. Don't stress them out. They are just kids.
- OP, why are you like this?
- OP, do you think you're cool for saying stuff like this? Why are you interested in other people's lives?
- Anyone's weight should be none of your business.
- Whatever. Haerin will always be pretty.
