SHINee’s Taemin Weighs 57 kg Now But Wants to Gain 3 kg

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

SHINee’s Taemin revealed his current weight.

During August 20’s broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s Gayo Plaza, Taemin confessed, “I will reveal my weight today. I recently lost weight from dieting.”

Taemin said, “I usually weigh about 60 kilograms because I have a lot of hidden fat. Now, I weigh 57 kilograms. I plan to gain 3 kilograms back.”

DJ Lee Sora then said, “I will reveal a secret of mine to. I weigh a bit more than Taemin,” surprising the listeners.

1. [+3,548, -66] My body needs to close its eyes

2. [+2,668, -58] Seems to be the type that doesn't gain weight

3. [+2,827, -321] ;;;;;;;;; He doesn't seem to have an ounce of muscle

4. [+2,157, -86] Taemin needs to gain some more weight ㅠㅠ Eat lots, Taemin-ah...

5. [+1,516, -167] Putting articles like this on the main page will only get Taemin more hate....

6. [+261, -8] I think it's just how his body is ㅋㅋ not that he diets or anything. And he dances a lot so he burns all of his calories no matter how much he eats...

7. [+265, -14] (Quietly puts down her spoon)

8. [+259, -17] Let me put away my bread real quick..

[lesth.livejournal.com]

this, heavy bones I suppose

He doesn't seem to have an ounce of muscle
Excuse me? http://wishyounew.tumblr.com/post/95218834187
He's still skinny as hell but he does have muscle. He's pretty toned now, actually. And yeah, he just seems the type who has a fast metabolism or something. I know plenty of people like that and they're still healthy.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I wanna feed him negl. It might be a fast metabolism but he's always looked a bit underweight to me

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

If we go by the BMI then I'd say 90% of idols are underweight. So as long they're lean and healthy and not malnourished it's okay with me.
Anyway, I've heard the BMI is different in East Asian countries like Japan, Korea, China, etc...because people usually have a smaller body type there. A friend is working in Japan and she told me that a doctor told her that she was overweight because her BMI was 23. In western countries, a healthy BMI is between 18-24, but in certain Asian countries is like 16-22.
Idk how tall Taemin is but I'd say he's not underweight anymore, even using the western BMI.

125.6 pounds, for anyone else who was wondering. Taemin does look...not scrawny like he sort of used to, but more filled out (as much as he could be, lol). I'd go with lean now rather than hopelessly skinny.

ETA: I'm 53.5 kg...but wait, how tall is he? The internet tells me 175, so for him being 13 cm taller than me...

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

I googled a quick BMI caclulator (first one that popped up and didn't bother to cross check) and got 18.6 BMI for him at his current weight, which is just inside the proposed healthy 18.5-24 BMI range.

[mycorrhizoid.livejournal.com]

I remember when kiddo was 14 and scrawny and they said he weighed 50 kg. I've been happy to see he's gained weight over the years.

But yeah, it's hard to tell a person's weight by looking at them. I've put on like 4 kg of muscle over the past 2 years and I'm still pretty much the same size as I was before. You can only see the difference in my thighs and my shoulders.

BWAHAHAAHAHHAHA!!

hes the same weight as me

i have lost weight too because of stress at job etc :/

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

Where are you working? Sorry about the weight loss

[uledy.livejournal.com]

I don't typically concern myself with netizen comments but #1 had me rolling.

I think this is just his body type. Even when he was weight training, he didn't get all that big. He's lean and toned. I ain't his PCP so there isn't really anything else for me to say- just hope he's taking care of himself and that since he wants to gain weight, I hope he can do healthily.

[ababobaby.livejournal.com]

this comment is a+ <3

also i heard he doesn't necessarily want to buff up like minho

[love-tippany.livejournal.com]

Does anyone know how tall he is? I'm like 1.77 and the same weight, but I look sooo fat compared to him...

[maishi-obuki.livejournal.com]

he has lithe muscle not bulk. he will look slimmer and weigh more than somebody who is just skinny but has the same measurements.

[bunica1990.livejournal.com]

He looks like the type who has trouble gaining weight.

How tall is he? He looks like he's grown a lot since last year.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I'd say around 177ish at least but I'm not sure because idols wear insoles all the time.

[hipployta.livejournal.com]

Taeminnie...you want to gain weight for muscle right lol

That dude is 10 pounds lighter than me so I feel you Sora

[asnindie.livejournal.com]

My lowest weight was 63 kg and I was so thin my leg looked like a stick so idk how thin he is its scary being that low tbh.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I think it depends on your height and body type. There was this guy on my hs class who weighed 63 kg too and he was around 178 but he had a perfectly athletic body.

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

I have two super skinny friends. One of them is 1.74 (5'9''ish?) and 52 kg (114 lb) and the other is 1.69 (5'6''ish) and 46 kg (101 lb). This one does look a bit malnourished but she's actually completely healthy. Some people just have that kind of body type.

Same...same.

Isn't SoRa a good deal taller than Taemin?

[babyonions.livejournal.com]

I'm taller than him but also weigh more so.. yes, this is depressing

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

How tall is he tho? Some profiles say 177 and others 175, so I don't have any idea lol.

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

I noticed he started to fill out last summer but of course they make idols diet/train before comebacks so I suppose it's to be expected he lost a bit of weight.

It's Jongyu that freaked me out last summer. Onew currently put some weight back on but Jjong looks like a kid. IDK sometimes I feel like SM prefers SHINee waifish T.T

[timetobegin.livejournal.com]

'Hidden fat'....? I think you mean the fat that you naturally carry around because your body needs it.

[uledy.livejournal.com]

you don't have a secret compartment where you store and hide away your fat?????

During August 20’s broadcast of KBS Cool FM’s Gayo Plaza, Taemin confessed, “I will reveal my weight today. I recently lost weight from dieting.”

why did he diet? boy has been skinny for a while now.

[shineericeball.livejournal.com]

I weight more than that and I'm a (UK) size 8! Men are meant to weigh more than women and I'm pretty sure he's taller than me too so that doesn't sound good to me. I'm glad he want to put on weight but why was he dieting in the first place?

[gray-fairy.livejournal.com]

Eh, I don't think men are meant to weight more than women. It depends on each person height and body type. If a woman is tall and big boned she doesn't have to weight less than a short/small boned guy.

[kris-kt.livejournal.com]

I saw him once really up close (he actually shook my hand close). I though his legs were gonna break :S (it left a strong impression on me) but he didn't look sick, however comparing him to my thin and tall guy friends he did look a little too skinny imo. That was back in 2010 tho so hopefully he gained more weight.

[jrt131n.livejournal.com]

Him and Minho use to freak me out since Minho was really skinny, especially when he was sporting the long hair.

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

if you compare him to shinee guys he sure looks extra thin
and i've always blame them for this kid skinny looks
i bet they eat all his food

[yakuniku-8.livejournal.com]

how come they were surprised with Sora? she's so tall! that's why celebrities have to lie about their weight. because netizens want all of them to weight the same, without considering proportions!

[evilvalenstrife.livejournal.com]

Is he the type that builds muscle well?

[atopworld.livejournal.com]

Diet? Taemin, you were already a stick. Honestly, all of last year would have killed any weight on him without even dieting.

[tillynilly.livejournal.com]

well, good luck with that taemin
i wonder how he plans to gain back weight tho... eating more? exercising more?
