how much further does mental health have to go before korea stands up and does something?

TOP was targeted as a “coward” by media

Hansol was “too queer” for the media to care

Is it going to take jonghyun taking his own life for them to fucking do something about mental health? It is not fake, it is very very real and scary for those going through it.

It worries me how little people seem to be discussing or even bothered by the unhealthy weights some idols seem to be at

For example, Wendy from Red Velvet.

Before Red Flavour, she was clearly not this weight, and appeared to be very healthy. In these pictures, however, you can clearly see her ribs and her legs are very very skinny.

This case of being underweight, did admittedly get noticed by many people, but seemingly mostly because it was weight loss, while many people don’t seem to notice idols that have been too skinny since debut.

For example, Blackpink.

One thing that always got me is Blackpinks legs, and the sheer level of skinniness they are. When ever I watched their dance practices or performances I always found it very worrying. Now, I’m not saying people can’t be naturally skinny, I am myself, but the idea of an entire four member group all being so thin is worrying. It’s highly improbable for them to all naturally be this level of skinny.

Rosé has been said to have one of the smallest waists in all of Kpop, at 24 inches, it is insanely tiny.

The only thinkable reasons I can imagine for this is that one, they are infact not eating propably, or two, YG purposely chose very skinny people. Both of these are very worrying, because these aren’t weights girls should be aiming for. We are naturally supposed to carry fat, it’s healthy, being this thin should never be encouraged as something all girls should aim for.

Finally, I’d like to talk a BTS’s Jimin.

This one, largely, has been rather ignored by many - seemingly because Jimin is a male. That in itself, is extremely worrying. You see before and after pictures tagged with “glow up” and wonder how people can’t be wondering how someone who was naturally chubbier - but healthy all the same - got so skinny. You could put it down to puberty, but it doesn’t sit quite right, since generally, puberty doesn’t shrink you down to that level.

You can find instances of him talking about how little he has been eating, how strict his diet is, and yet many people seem to not be bothered.

His muscle loss, additionally could be put down to the sheer amount of weight he has lost, shown by this statement from an article in the huffington post “very low-calorie diet plans that contain less than 1,200 calories a day may cause you to lose something your body really needs, muscle.”

Now, admittedly, I don’t know all the facts about weight or weight loss, or even these idols, and I do not want anyone to think that I am judging these idols if they are just naturally skinny, but I just felt the need to make it clear that many idols weights - and there are so many more instances I could have spoken about in this - do truly not seem healthy, and that this really is something that needs to be brought to light.

#no guys you don’t understand #this is super important #mental health in korea is literally awful #you can lose your job because you’re being treated for depression #the fact that this big name star is opening up about it is huuuge  #so thank you gong yoo 

the screenshots here are from near the end of the interview, which i think makes it even worse, because the interviewer listened to everything he’d said and still didn’t treat it very seriously. there are other parts where she seems very smart and intuitive, but then other times he’d say something like “i hate myself to death and feel like i’m an empty shell” and she’d just laugh and move on while i’m just like !!!

i was really impressed by how open he is about it though, even the “ugly” symptoms that aren’t really talked about normally — like how he said he used to lock himself in his apartment alone and drink and “bang on the walls” because he didn’t know how else to cope with all the pain he was in, and he even mentions hurting himself and talks about scars and refers to himself as a “masochist” and says a coworker once referred to him as “someone constantly trying to hurt himself.” the fact that he was able to talk about all this so openly, despite the reaction he got, was so impressive and amazing to me

it’s really heartbreaking though because he’s obviously never had the support he needs — at one point he mentions that the first person he ever opened up to about all the pain he was in (back in his mid-20s, when he says it was much worse) was a director who was considering hiring him, and he later found out that that director had told people she thought “someone like that” would be “too difficult” to work with, and it caused this rumor/pre-conceived notion about him to spread that affected the way his coworkers treated him. now that he’s famous and has had other work he’s literally known for how charming and nice he is to everyone, but at that point his coworkers all thought he was moody, pretentious, and rude and always avoided him on set because of this, all because he opened up about his severe depression to the wrong person

@chris brown stay away from yugyeom you absolute piece of garbage

[got7-updates]

Translation: OH_mes

[gmmmtv]

[kinowhere]

chris brown recently followed yugyeom on instagram and i’ve seen a lot of ahgase trying to push for a collaboration between them and try to treat this like we’ve treated similar situations in the past (youngjae w/ elliot yamin, etc.)

so i need to remind y'all that chris brown is an abuser, he’s been involved in multiple domestic violence cases, he’s admitted to stalking

whether you think he’s talented or not is irrelevant because he is literally an abuser and we do not need to further his platform and yugyeom does not to be associated with him further

like this is not a collaboration we should be advocating for and while i’m happy for yugyeom that someone who’s work he enjoys noticed him, we have to be aware of the reality of this situation and not support or promote chris brown or any sort of collaboration between him and got7
