This idol used to be bullied for looking “fat” and is now praised for her abs

In the past, the famous idol has been ridiculed many times for her physique, but now she is praised for her chiseled belly.

Can you guess who she is?

Red Velvet Wendy CG-Level Abs Awe-inspiring During GOT The Beat’s “Stamp On It” Performance

Red Velvet Wendy, who is now promoting herself as a member of GOT the beat, has been receiving praise for her abdominal muscles, which were so pronounced that it was speculated that they were the result of computer graphics.

In particular, the idol attracts attention after performing the group’s new song “SM Avengers”, “Stamp On It”, released on January 16.

Among their activities and scenes, Wendy’s “M Countdown” clip is gaining attention, not only because of her impressive singing skills, but also her 11-shaped abs.

After the performance, many short videos appeared showing the amazing figure of the star.

In the viral video, Wendy wears a crop top that reveals her solid abs and a narrow waist, visible whether she is standing or dancing.

Red Velvet Wendy was once bullied for looking “fat” – here’s what she did

Meanwhile, Wendy shows off her 11-shaped belly from her rookie days. In fact, she has maintained a slim waist since she was a teenager and has been praised by fans as a “body management idol”.

However, it was not easy for the idol at first. She has been criticized many times in the past for her many years of struggling with being overweight.

At the time, K-pop idols were only perceived as beautiful when they were “paper thin”. As a result, Wendy suffered demeaning comments for not “fitting” the standard of idol beauty.

In the broadcast, Wendy confessed that “she used to be quite fat before.” Apparently, due to the pressure to stay slim, she tried extreme diets, eating only mixed cabbage, apple or pumpkin juice, one out of three a day. (This is not recommended!)

In addition to the restrictive diet, she is even stricter in terms of training, jumping rope 1,000 times a day, working out at the gym and taking lots of walks.

She lost about 15 kg in about 4 months.

While what Wendy did before wasn’t healthy, looking back, fans are amazed at the “Feel My Rhythm” singer’s commitment and discipline.

Since the dramatic weight loss in 2016-2017, the star stopped doing routine activities and began to take better care of herself.

In 2023, her hard work pays off, because you can see that she is not only slim, but also healthy!

Meanwhile, Got The Beat released their first EP “Stamp on It” on various music services on the 16th. The title track of the same name is an R&B-based hip-hop dance song with an impressive piano sound and a powerful 808 bass beat, and the lyrics tell a story about surviving to reach the top of fierce stage competition.
