To ensure this thread won't be closed, you must adhere to several a number of simple rules;
Please use spoilers when quoting a post with pictures and/or videos.
When posting large quantities of media (pictures or videos), please begin spoilering after the first piece. Grouping related videos in the same spoilers & labeling is recommended.
No reposting of old material unless justified
Posting any material with little or no relevent discussion accompanying it
No passion-induced flaming of each other because 'x said y sucked' etc.
Keep the expression hate of music individuals/groups to a minimal level
No 'pagetopping' in any form whatsoever, as it constitutes spam equal to posts similar to 'first'.
No vulgar fan fics or wet dream stories. It is creepy, weird, and it dehumanizes the people who you are here to celebrate/discuss.
Normal posting standards that you find throughout the rest of the site still apply and will be enforced more strictly from here forward (2012/03/11)
Due to the poor nature of this thread in the past, temporary two-day bans will occur more than often if people slip up.

Most idols would probably look a little better if they put on some weight. It is better for them anyways if they are underweight. It is sad to see girls think they can achieve photoshop like proportions. It's also worse when society and businesses are making money and making girls believe they aren't thin enough when a lot of the time they are just fine.
Proportions make some people look way skinnier than they really are. Some are actually healthy and fine, but the clothes you wear, the camera angles, even lighting screw it all around.
@klibrt: a year ago or so I think...don't remember which ep this was... + Show Spoiler +
But yes...a ton of of idols need gain weight, but also a ton are fine as they are now. We are Asians after all...not as beefy and fleshy as Westerners.
Taeyeon has the perfect body size, i don't see how you guys think these girls are skinny, but then again i'm 5'5 and weigh 120 ^^" so i don't want a girl my size i want someone smaller

More of this is due to diet and shit than actual genetics...it's dieting and pressure more than that "all Koreans are skinny"

Heh I stumbled upon these girls (and the rest of the other people on that channel) a few weeks ago only to find myself upset how I haven't found them out before. I wanted to order a few CDs but they aren't selling international right now, big bummer Anyway love all of them. Jrabbit's cover of Man in the mirror was awesome :D Its just amazing how universal music is.

But it's more like the norm now...although Chinese people do have a tendency to link fatty tissues with wealth (implies you are eating well = rich...etc).
Well... genetics do matter a fair amount. We Asians are generally skinny or chubby and most likely on the shorter side And I get the feel that some idols aren't caring as much? example, Sunny? she got fatter, definitely. I know it.
And Zapdos, dang yo~, hm, I remember looking at your blog and that video, you didn't look that skinny bro wth. You did say you were hitting the gym as one of your goals right? if you want a girl smaller than you, dang dude that's too tiny lol

Not really, obesity rates are growing in all Asian countries, and while they don't have American levels of obesity it's growing. Not to mention the loads of overweight Asian-Americans, etc. I just think your original statement is unfair because it implies most Asians have some magical ability to stay skinny.
Also wtf is with people not spoiling videos anymore? And we had such a good run too

I think it should be allowed to slide. Unspoilered, more people click it, more joy spread. Everyone needed a bit of that after the angry.
@zapdos get yourself to a gym and start eating, son. That is a girl's build.

Pretty much why Asians are generally skinnier than Westerners is because their diet is better than ours. Also, they don't consumed junk food on daily basis like us. Plus, Majority of people in Asia were poor so they only ate rice and some kind of meat if any. Nowadays, Fast food giants such as KFC started to penetrate the Asian market. Thus resulting in the same reasons why westerners are forced to eat junk meals because of time or money. Genetics has nothing to do with your weight. Anyway, Have some suzy!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thing is that when one person starts doing it multiple people will stop doing it and will clutter up the thread once again, consistency is key in moderation.

I have that magical ability to stay skinny. It kinda sucks... one time I ate a bag of 200 assorted chocolates over a week... didn't really do anything... I still go to the gym a couple times a week and it's kinda hard for me to get around 140lbs lmao. And no, I'm not a complete stick lifting 10lb dumbbells. I do my squats and whatnot.
These non-idol music is good. I need to stop listening to crappy music and get some good stuff lol.

I gained about 7 pounds since hitting the gym but i still feel tiny compared to a lot of guys, but something about a tiny girl is just adorable to me which is probably why i love kpop and korean girls so much.. I will get one someday..
The sheer weight of music being put out by the Korean industry right now is crazy. I think they must be trawling norebangs for anyone that can hold a tune and giving them record deals.
If its not a problem can kmd show more songs like this, solo artist, i really like it, but i don't know any, good sleeping music~ Thank you! or reccomend artist/albums so i can go download.
