Piggy Dolls
is a new girl group who recently debuted with the song “Trend,” on various music sites and they are gaining a lot of attention for their weight more than anything else…

All three members (Lee Ji-yeon, Kim Min-sun, and Park Ji-eun) collectively weight over 200kg (approximately 441 lbs).

Their song “Trend,” sends a message of self confidence with lyrics such as “‘Without worry, I say proudly,’ ‘What’s wrong with my body? You know my face, personality,’” showing how comfortable they are with their image.

When asked why they decided to debut, Jiyeon answered, “People tend to think skinny people are pretty these days. We want to show that we can be as confident and pretty with this weight. We would like to break the stereotype that only skinny people are pretty.”

Considering how well Big Mama was embraced by the K-pop industry, I’m sure Piggy Dolls will be successful as well. If only their group name wasn’t Piggy Dolls… what do you think?

Seeing how size obsessed Korean netizens and the media tends to be, I'm not sure what the reaction will be. I guess it depends on who they are being marketed to, will determine their success. Now the name.... It's just so wrong in so many ways.

I hope they do well.
They could've picked a better name though.

Honestly, I don't think Korea's ready for it considering how bitchy they can get with people like UEE and other (nearly anorexic) thin idols.

i don't care what anyone says! this group is awesome!

anyone who can't appreciate it need a sandwich to truly understand the power of "piggy dolls".

also the name is cute.

love the concept, hate the name, and how they were binging on food in their mv.

ia esp on the mv binging thing... totally unnecessary.

They probably won't become popular idols amongst teens/youth, but if they have the talent and charisma, then at the end that's what will count. It's not like everybody in Korea expects their singers and entertainers to be trim. Most adults actually like singers who can sing.

The name Piggy Dolls is so stupid, even if it does make me think of Miss Piggy who was a GODDAMN CLASSY MUPPET HELL YEAH

I really hope they do well for the right reasons (as opposed to becoming famous as a sort of comedy act, since that doesn't seem to be their intention) though!

Stanning these girls hard. Their name is kinda shocking but they have lots of talent. I wonder how KPOP (specially boybands) will react at them.

I feel like using the name Piggy Dolls isn't really helping their cause. It just makes name calling seem okay.

But other wise, I hope they do well. I'd also like Big Mama back, thank you.
