Everyones worst fear become reality.

On April 9th, Piggy Dolls guested on SBS’s “Star King” and shed tears over the pressure to lose weight.

Kim Min Sun (21), who weighs 90kg, began, “My mother runs a small restaurant, and my father runs a Chinese take-out. I was born with the love of eating, which is how I got my current ‘U-line.’“ She went on to reveal that the group’s combined weight totaled to 232kg, with Lee Ji Yeon (21) weighing at 72kg, and maknae Park Ji Eun (18) at 70kg.

Park Ji Eun continued, “When we first auditioned, there were three conditions. First, we had to be talented vocally. We also could not have had any plastic surgery done, and we had to weigh over 70kg.”

Unfortunately, due to the flop of their debut album, the conditions have changed drastically, as she went on to reveal, “Before, we’d say that we just ate and our CEO would still order us something to eat, but after our first album flopped, he said that the fat concept won’t work anymore. He’s trying to change our image now by making us lose weight, but we don’t want to.”

When asked by MC Kang Ho Dong whether they had any intentions of reaching a compromise with their agency, Kim Min Sun replied, “We, of course, thought about it. But let’s say that we lose weight and get plastic surgery. That doesn’t mean we can become SNSD. Kang Ho Dong is overweight, but also became the best MC. Why can’t overweight people achieve their dreams?”

She continued, “The pain of being told to leave the room at auditions even before I opened my mouth to sing is still left in my heart. I want people that are overweight to not be so self-conscious and to be able to leave their house without shame. We want to become hope to them.”

I find it stupid that they have to lose weight. They have talent and that is all that should matter.

[freakish-freak.livejournal.com]

aw, girl, is 96 the year you were born?

[crypticbluerose.livejournal.com]

tbh 70kg isn't really that heavy especially by american standards, but compared to other 50kg idols

[katiewenchh.livejournal.com]

omg their ceo is disgusting. how dare he say all that to them. these girls are so talented and i really like them :(

[kanbinayume.livejournal.com]

Preach.
Korea is just jealous that they're not as fierce, talented, gorgeous, ect. as these girls.

[hellicoptajuuce.livejournal.com]

i just submitted this =_="

I hate that their CEO wants them to lose weight as well

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

beat you to it!

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

What a crazy set of conditions. Just let the ladies belt some notes out.

[haymitch.livejournal.com]

the only reason anyone should be encouraged to lose weight is because a doctor told them it was vital to their health. not because the "fat concept" doesn't work. wtf is this.

[baka-tenshi.livejournal.com]

this this this this

[lopezfitzgerald.livejournal.com]

i don't agree with the reason they're being told to lose weight, but i really think they should do it anyway (for their own health)

[shintotchi.livejournal.com]

Your health isn't really in danger when you're at 150 pounds. That's healthy. When it's over 200 pounds, then sure, maybe lose a little but it's not an emergency until 250 +. I think a healthy weight is between 150 annd 180 and 2 of them are already there.

I wish Korea could have a more opened mind about idols being "overweight." It's horrible to think that these talented girls have to change themselves just to realize a dream.

[nijigirl-us.livejournal.com]

How many overweight female singers are there in the US / Europe though?

The 70kg ones are fine, but the 90kg one would be kinda heavy for any market. Not saying it's good, but that's just how it is.

ia

[ajumeolli.livejournal.com]

That is horrible.
saying "oh you need to be fat"
and just because their first album didn't work out saying
Oh, now you need to lose weight, you can't be fat anymore"

[ajumeolli.livejournal.com]

Their weight shouldn't even be taking into account.. their voices are quite good, and they deserve to be up there for simply the fact that they can sing.
horrible horrible horrible

[lao4eva.livejournal.com]

Being told to lose weight even though you have talent which is first & foremost? Ugh, that's what's wrong with the world.

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

my worst fear is that a thousand spiders will crawl into my mouth one night. this is no where near being "my worst fear"

[melonfucka.livejournal.com]

spiders are smart they do it one at a time every now and again so you won't notice

[annieraincloud.livejournal.com]

"the fat concept"

[noonasays.livejournal.com]

fuck anyone who criticizes them ever

[moonfox35.livejournal.com]

These girls are so fucking talented, I love their voices. Korea needs to get their shit together, girls don't have to be skinny to be beautiful or talented.

[imanat.livejournal.com]

A+ icon. ♥

[gyuri.livejournal.com]

oMG THEIR CEO WANTS THEM TO LOSE WEIGHT?
WHAT COMPANY WOULD EVER SAY THAT?

DSP, SM, YG, and any other label will say that an artist will need to lose weight, sad truth

[sungmin.livejournal.com]

yes but dsp, sm, yg etc have never put a band together specifically because the members were fat and then changed their minds after one song lol

[yunho.livejournal.com]

because, you know, snsd girls are the 'ideal' weight people should strive to be.

wtf is wrong with the world?

[stopthedisco.livejournal.com]

they're not saying that, they're just saying that snsd is the most popular girl group, so it's impossible to be as famous as them but they still want to try to achieve their dreams.

[insert comment about being concerned about their health]

[x-doctess.livejournal.com]

lopezfitzgerald beat you to it.

[flumpool-shinee.livejournal.com]

sigh, SK and their roundabout way of doing things. they should lose weight since it's not healthy, not because their concept requires them to do it. c'mon now.

[vvvanilla.livejournal.com]

so what now? they're still with their agency? won't their CEO/managers get mad at them for saying that? why am i asking these questions, idek /wrong reaction

[foreverdevotion.livejournal.com]

I actually think they are very smart for ousting their CEO for his words. With it out in the public with their feelings about it, it might help them battle against their CEO and force him to shut up, or cut them loose to go to another agency that will welcome them without the stupid "fat concept".

[melonfucka.livejournal.com]

fat concept omg lol

[waltz-in-code.livejournal.com]

lol
