Determining the "skinniest" K-pop idol is challenging because it depends on the definition of "skinny" (weight, BMI, or visual appearance) and the availability of accurate, verified weight and height information. However, based on available information, several sources repeatedly mention Yukyung (from the group Elris) as holding the record for the skinniest female K-pop idol. Her reported weight is 37kg (approximately 81.6 pounds) and height is 157.2 cm (approximately 5 feet 2 inches). [1, 7, 8]
It's crucial to remember that these figures are reported and may not be entirely accurate. Furthermore, focusing solely on weight can be misleading, neglecting other factors like body composition and individual body types. Several other idols have also been mentioned in discussions about thinness, including Yeonjung (Holics), Eunchae (ISE), Youngchae (Coco), and Yeseo (Busters), with weights reported in the 38-39kg range. [2] However, without verified data, we cannot definitively confirm their relative thinness compared to Yukyung.
It's important to approach such comparisons with caution. Extreme thinness in K-pop can often be a result of intense pressure on idols to conform to unrealistic beauty standards. Health should always be prioritized over achieving a specific body image.
Other Mentions of Thin Idols:
Several sources cite other idols as being notably thin, although without specific weight and height data for direct comparison:
- Male Idols: Suga (BTS), Baekhyun (EXO), and Jisung (NCT) are mentioned in some discussions. [1]
- Various Female Idols: Numerous online discussions and forums mention multiple female idols as being exceptionally thin. However, the reliability and consistency of the data varies greatly across these sources. [2, 5, 9, 10]
This information should be treated with caution; relying solely on online discussions, fan opinions and unverified reports to judge body types should be avoided. Focusing on the well-being and health of idols is critical.
