Victoria reveals her physical complex

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

f(x)'s Victoria recently attended the premiere of KBS W's Road Variety program, 'Glitter' where she revealed a physical complex she has--her legs.

When asked about her complex, she commented, "Since I exercised for 10 years, I gain muscle very easily." "Because I have so much muscles on my legs, it doesn't make a difference if I try to lose weight. It's stressful to have a lot of leg muscles."

When asked what she does to conceal her complex she said, "I either wear garments that come right above my knees or long skirts."

it's so messed up that we live in a society that teaches women that it's better for them to have thin legs than muscular ones, even if they're a dancer that needs strong legs like wtf.

i've never even noticed her having thick legs anyway so meh.

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

yeah it's fucking awful. i want to proud of my own muscular legs but gdi it's really hard. i catch myself feeling jealous of girls with thin legs all the time.

I've never thought of her legs as thick. C'mon, she's a dancer, her legs gotta be strong. Who cares if they're not thin. Not saying that thin legs = frail, but it sucks that she has a complex over being muscular.

Her legs are like my ideal legs. Toned and with just the right amount of muscle ;__;

you have perfect legs, baby

Aren't Luna's thighs cut like whoa? Like 1,000 time more than Vic?

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

i'm trying too but my insecurity gets the best of me sometimes :I thanks though. <3

[tingl.livejournal.com]

exactly, op, exactly. people freak out when they see luna's because no, asian girls having muscular thighs are totally weird and awful.

It ruins my self-esteem....

[awsteven.livejournal.com]

ugh the flack that luna gets about her legs makes me so mad and insecure about my own. it's awful.

i totally feel you bb <3

Wtf how are strong, healthy, muscular legs bad?!

[dapo322.livejournal.com]

I just remembered that arirang video criticizing idols with thicker legs, but instead called them "healthy" as if having thicker or muscular legs were a flaw

lol this is funny because her legs are literally one of my favorite things about her. When I see her in dresses or shorts I'm always like "GODDAMN IT VICTORIA YOUR LEGS ARE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL!!!"

[joansmalls.livejournal.com]

poor girl :(

[feel-my-mind.livejournal.com]

As a professional dancer who also has muscles in her legs, I totally understand where she is coming from. And it hasn't matter when I was super underweight or not, my legs have never been thin. The rest of my body changes, but my legs just were there. Pilates helps though.


(my thighs aren't super huge, there like 47cm, they're just big in proportion. Or why am I defending myself. Oh yeah, I feel like my thighs are fat.....*personal issues please ignore*)

Girl, werk them thighs and be proud of your skills; dancer's legs are gorgeous, male or female.

[khuntflap.livejournal.com]

But she's perfection walking, and needs to show them gams off more. D: Like others have said, it really sucks the standards that women have to adhere to in Korea. She's absolutely gorgeous, and when she moves in her dances all those muscles are so fluid and lovely, not bulky. :/

Also can relate, though I'm Irish decent, but have always had very muscular legs from years of horse back riding. Kind sucks for fitting in jeans.

[sowahso.livejournal.com]

wtf these legs r so nice though
Sad that she has been made to feel bad about having a beautiful body.

Can this be a body image post????
I hate my butt and the fact that I have dark eye circles. Plus i really need to start working out and get an upper body. I wish there was a plastic surgery discussion becuase those r interesting and fun.

[kotetsu.livejournal.com]

have you seen how much weight she's lost since 2009? even since 2011? probably that + one of these types of treatments, 1 (http://english.bkhospital.com/center/body/body02_04.asp) (no scarring reduction) or 2 (http://www.carboxytherapy.com/faqs_about_carboxytherapy.html) (non surgical sculpting)

Well.... Asian calves are supposed to be wide..... Something about different muscle types we have in our calves compared to other races.

[babydollnana.livejournal.com]

Just last night I was thinking how jealous I was of her legs!

[confuqued.livejournal.com]

I've definitely seen more Asian girls with thick rather than thin legs. In fact in high school there was one Asian girl who was an athlete and her calves were so thick that she could not wear skinny jeans.

I have thick calves, and I love them. I love my legs period.

man what

gotta love those chun li thighs

[lightframes.livejournal.com]

Spinning bird kick!

[dafairyness.livejournal.com]

but muscular legs are so hot! Dancer legs especially.

[bumie.livejournal.com]

it's sad to hear this from her

[honeyfunnybunny.livejournal.com]

I feel sad that she feel the need to hide them, cause damn girl I would never ever wear anything but shorts if I had her legs.

I feel that netizens are waaaay too hard on her sometimes regarding her weight/body, even international fans(back when she gained weight) and I just can't with the way she can't live comfortably without getting judged. :(

My ultimate body project this year also includes getting amazing legs like Victoria

Can't embed from my phone but damn girl your legs.

My complex is probably my hips. Like been hitting the gym and been doing well every except for the hips. Ever since I was young and at my skinniest with a 25 inch waist I still had hips that couldn't fit most jeans and shit. Even now when I buy dresses the top part is 2 sizes too big cause if not it won't fit around the hip area.

I never felt more self conscious of my legs than when I was in SK.
Some girls and women there actively avoid stairs because apparently they'll make their calves bigger...I was like, "really...?"

:\ I feel better about my rock solid thighs and booty than I do about my noodle arms, let's just get that fact on the table...

[crystalheng.livejournal.com]

Yeah, actions that require stepping up a height (e.g. climbing up stairs, stepping machine workouts, etc.) do work the calves, thighs and glutes. It's believed (at least among Singaporeans anyway) that running causes bigger muscles too but I think it depends on the body type and how the person runs. If people want to work their legs but keep them slim (as in not bulky), cross-trainers on low resistance are great.

Why is Kpop basically designed to make me feel horrible... She has gorgeous, gorgeous strong legs, they do not even look bulky, and she obviously uses them for her work, why is she made to feel ashamed of them...

[guitarchic11292.livejournal.com]

Her legs are amazing, though!
It's bad enough that women get crap for having "fat" legs, but we aren't supposed to have muscular legs either?

[burnbook31.livejournal.com]

i have fat legs for asian girls so fuck off people assuming thin legs to asian girls. not everyone are girl group material.

[allisnotlost.livejournal.com]

her legs are perfect. so sad she has this complex :(
