This man's name is Baekho (Kang Dongho). He is a 23-year-old South Korean singer and songwriter with an incredible voice, who penned multiple hits for his own group and other artists over the years. He also composes and works as a vocal coach/director for other artists under the company he is signed for. A former athlete and a gym enthusiast who can carry all four of his group members at the same time, he showcases time and time again he never heard of toxic masculinity, speaking to his fans about his childhood desire to be a princess, his other hobbies such as eating and decorating yogurt, and his love for cute things. He is a frequent visitor of dog cafes, and a big animal lover. Both small children and small animals love him.
So what is the reason for me writing all of this? Recently, he has been a victim of bodyshaming on stan Twitter from fans of another group, who irationally hate the group he is a part of. As someone who struggled with body image for years and was forced to go on extremely restrictive diets by his company despite always being of healthy weight, it makes me so sad to see the mocking, insulting comments directed at him. He doesn't deserve that whatsoever. Baekho has only recently become confident enough to show his body, which got him noticed by Men's Health Korea and earned him a magazine cover, but somehow these people say he needs to lose weight. Nothing he does is ever enough to haters.
This man is a nice person. He is a kind soul, beautiful inside and out, and although he doesn't fit the so-called "flower boy" beauty standard of the Korean pop industry, he doesn't deserve hate for being his healthy, handsome self. Different is good too, isn't it?
So what I am trying to say is that the actual ugly people here are all those hiding behind anonymous accounts and egg icons to spew hate towards others just because they don't like them. They're ugly on the inside and pathetic. What sad lives these people are living to make themselves feel good by putting down others. Sad. I truly feel sorry for them.
