Xiumin is a member of EXO, who previously had a hard battle with yo-yo dieting. From losing and gaining weight too fast, he has since learned from those experiences and been maintaining a fit and healthy body for over 4 years since.
cbx sitting and telling all the exo-l’s the dangers of starvation felt so refreshing. you don’t see much of this in kpop and im so glad they actually promoted the healthy way to lose weight instead of a quick fix.
It pained me when Xiumin openly admitted that he didn't know what his "role" in EXO was. And it seemed like for a while, he thought he needed to achieve this dream body for people to love him. But I hope he knows that we'll love and support him no matter what!
Well, It's SM blame. They put him everywhere and anywhere at the same time. Meanwhile, other members have positions to especifics, he was put with the dance line, was presented as a rapper but in promotions they didn't promoted him in any position. And he didn't thought, he knew that he has to achieve his certain body for people to love him and was exactly what happened. Until that moment, SM put him in a corner to sing his own lines, and his fandom exploted when he lost weight. It's sad but he needed to do that to have a career.
@ingrid6295 I feel like Exo is one of the groups where some members aren't utilized properly. I mean,Chen,D.o.,and Baekhyun are amazing,but I wants other to showcase their vocals more. I was extremely surprised when I found out Suho and Xiumin are the lead vocalists of the group. Also, it doesn't make sense why he isn't the leader, I mean all sm groups oldest members are the leader of their own groups.
*This week I'm gonna try and get back up all my old videos that were removed for copywrite and fix them.* Xiumin doesn't have an update since he hasn't changed since 2017, all till 2019 with Love shot his weight has been stable. He's in the military now and overall he always seems to have a good head on his shoulders. Xiumin acts pretty responsible all the time and takes care of his health in the same regard.
Hi! Can you please do Jungkook from BTS? I’m worried about him right now. He’s mentioned constantly time and time before about him looking fat or chubby and always wanting to lose weight and I’ve noticed a change in him over the years.
I can see how Yoyo-ing can seem appealing as a quick-fix weight loss, but the things it does to your body long-term is just not worth it. I think Xiumin has a good, sensible head on his shoulders. He tried yoyo-ing, realized it was really bad for him, and afterwards is trying to educate his fans to help them make better and healthier choices regarding dieting.
I remembered what Xiumin said that he was fat and lose confidence with his body. But when he loss weight people treated him differently. He continued " why people judge others base on appearance." He is talented. He is caring and kind. He borns to be love. Don't care about those toxic people who always criticize others but never look at themselves. I'm sure many people love Our Minseok. 🥰
When he said he weighed 53 kg my jaw dropped. I'm a little bit taller than him and that would be very underweight for me as a woman so it would be severely under weight for a guy. I'm so glad he doesn't do crash diets anymore. Your health is so much more important
Korean standards are really scary and fans can be so toxic about one's weight T-T Also it doesn't help with shows where they always talk about weight and diets.
@@rnaql4336 they never said “korean fans” just fans in general. and i’ve been into kpop for a decade and i’ve seen almost every idol talk about dieting/wanting to lose weight - that’s cultural. there’s a reason there’s so few overweight/curvy idols
I remember Growl era Xiumin, I was so shocked because he looked like a completely different person. I am so happy he is doing a lot better than he used to be. I love him to death, always have, always will.
Girl they still a group 😭😭 xiumin is coming back in like december and SC is having a comeback AND kai is preparing his solo debut 😫 we getting contentttt
“they thought he was talentless” ??? remember that high note by xiumin both on weekly idol and on a live performance by exo-cbx BROOOO idk where the word “talentless” fits in that
plus the fact that Xiumin is a versatile member. He can sing, dance and rap as well. I don't know what these people watch to say that Xiumin is a talentless member.
EXACTLY. I don't get this attitude either, especially since Minseok actually got into SM by placing SECOND in a singing contest, while there are other members who were scouted because of their visuals - Chanyeol, Sehun, Luhan, etc (I'm not hating on them of course, just saying that Minseok already proved his talent in the very beginning)
aside from his amazing vocals in EXO CBX think he’s the best dancer in EXO right after Kai his moves are so fluid and precise sharp in the right moment, he also used to rap back in EXO-M days. Minseokie is one of the most all rounded talented idols in kpop, if some antis think he’s untalented that’s the worst biggest joke his Versatility is beyond me
But you gotta realize that he doesn't fit Korean beauty standards. Those people don't care if he has "memorable" features, anyone who doesn't fit the beauty standards are ugly for them. I think he's very cute tho
It breaks my heart whenever people opens up about his weight and obviously he is not comforatble talking about it. Like you dont talk about that in public, let alone in national television. Great thing however Lay, Chen, Baek -- they got him covered and made light of the awkward situation. I love you Minseok! Thank you for being you!
I dont see Xiumin fat since debut. His body figure then was just right for me. Hes so handsome, talented, cute and sexy. My bias wrecker!! Btw Im just new to exo so im soo late to this kind of issues. Theyve been through a lot 🙏💕
I remember a very similar case. iKON's Donghyuk. He has a good physic with thunder thighs but he was very obsessed with dieting that he got so so skinny. Now he is healthy ❤️❤️❤️
from “Love me right” and onwards i think he started to feel confident in his body and that really showed which had him look and appear even more attractive❤️ (my personal favourite of his “best” era in terms of hairstyle clothes and makeup: Monster Kokobop The Eve Love Shot)
It breaks my heart when i watched this video! He did everything just to satisfy his fans and also the media. Its sad that some people acknowledge artist base in their looks not in their talent itself. I really like XIUMIN because he such a sweet and humble guy. Alot of LOVE from the Philippines!❤❤❤
@@_.victoria9872 WHAT- i hope he's fine good gosh 10kg in a week is too much especially since he was really muscular (assuming that the 10kg was mostly muscle mass)
Tf who said xiumin didn’t have a purpose in exo, his purpose is being the sweet caring and talented hyung he is, and btw his beauty is beyond reality i always thought he looked like an anime character
The fact he wasn't insecure about his appearance when he debuted but became self-conscious because of people was really sad and even if I don't think Luhan did it on purpose, he somehow helped to created the problem. Xiumin had an healthy weight back then, but he started to promote the Baozi nickname non stop in every single promotion, a nickname that he invented to address Xiumin's "chubiness", he some how make people talk and focus on Xiumin's weight often and Xiumin didn't like that nickname because of it but he keeped using it and fans found it cute and even some of them still using it. We have to be thoughtful about the comments we make, especially if it is about something as personal as the body, those comments, jokes, and nicknames can been hurtful. Even as fans, there is no need to keep using a nickname that it's known to be perceived as negative for the idol himself just because sounds cute, they are persons after all.
42istheanswer everyone is different. When cutting out certain foods, your body could react differently than someone else. I’m not saying that is or is not the reason she lost weight, I just think everybody is different in this sense. Have a wonderful day!
This is actually a touchy subject for fans especially elsas but we’re all so glad he eventually did have a good relationship with fitness and health ;;
I'M SO GLAD SEEING MINSEOK SEEM SO HEALTHY AND SHINING WHILE IN THE MILITARY I CAN'T WAIT FOR DECEMBER I'MMA WAIT FOR YOU MY BABY I LOVE YOU SO MUCH PLEASE NEVER GO ON A DIET AGAIN AND EAT DELICIOUS THINGS
Argh. This makes me so upset that he received so much flake in the early days. I tell you what Xiumin's role is - he's the ultimate bias wrecker. Just when you are not expecting it, he sneaks into your mind and takes over it completely until you don't think of anything else but him ♥
i love all of your videos ! you should really do CLC Yeeun cuz i feel like no ones talking about her, she lost so much weight and ive barely heard anyone talk about it
I’m actually amazed by the information you have in ur videos,,,!about all the responses of netizens and such....😮i’ve been myself an exo fan for years but didn’t know xiumin received negative comments in 2012 about his weight.. How do you know all that stuff? It’s better than wikipedia🤣 Also i like your analysis vry much!
Minseok had weight issue even before debuting. He was overweight (not a critic just a fact,) when he was a child but lost weight by exercising (which was a good call since dieting isn't healthy as a kid... nor as an adult to be honest XD) in order to play soccer which he adores. Koreans have a really weird way to push forward the weight topic on TV show even to the point of using his childhood overweight picture to distract him when they were playing tennis. In France it would have been considered has very rude and as harassment and public humiliation. Even showrunners between them on a TV show were criticizing/laughing to one of them (a woman) for being fat... The weirdest is that if you look in the public of those TV show or even on streets Korean are mostly Short, tanned, round shape head, flat hair, chubby face and thighs and they expect others to look so different from them unconsciously criticizing their own features... Purely insane .... When idol are next to their manager for example the difference is so big that you could think they are from two different species almost. If you put minho or even Taemin next to their Euisoo manager the size of the idols' head is half of their manager ...
I noticed that you're doing updates on different idols, can you please do an update for seola WJSN, especially since they recently came back with Butterfly??
idk about the old fanbase, their misconception of thinness and fatness is insane to me. xiu never looked anywhere "fat" back then, he instead looked healthy and adorable. he does not deserve that backlash for living his life, he's human too and deserves to eat and have fun just like the rest of us. seeing him get so thin in 2013 breaks my heart :(
Can you tell when a celebrity is struggling with bulimia? I know that anorexia is more talked amongst celebrities, whereas bulimia is often shamed and is more secretive (due to often being in a normal weight range). I would love a video on something like this, although I understand if not due to its triggering nature.
I think Xiumin struggled with bulimia, you can see that his cheeks weren't hollow even at his lowest weight, which is a good sign of bulimia. I hope he is doing okay now.
@@nini-jz1bt The truth is we have no idea of knowing for sure. However, not having hollow cheeks is not a symptom of bulimia, having swollen cheeks or jaw, yes (which is not the same). In fact, his face became thinner and the part of his jaw was very noticeable, just look at the difference between the photo from 2012 and the one from 2013 when he loss the most weight, his face was never swollen.
I love you baby no matter what chubby or not ...its not impostant to me...the important is i will love and support you forever cant wait too see you my.love
The fans started to called him Baozi because of Luhan and taking in account that Xiumin didn't like that nickname and all the hate he faced because his weight Luhan shouldn't call him Baozi non stop in every promotion they had, he somehow bring Xiumin's weight to the conversation and sell this idea of chubinnes.
this video was unnecessary, as for all these weight loss videos. You don’t need to bring attention to these things lmao. Weight loss and gain is a normal thing. Leave these idols be bro
OH SO BEING PAPER-THIN IS A GOOD THING? GODDAMN BRO XIUMIN WAS SO THIN IN HIS DEBUT AND U ACT LIKE U DON'T CARE? TRY STARVING YOURSELF FOR A DAY, SEE HOW YOU LIKE THAT?
@@kunfusedscreaming6990 haha lmao. Weight gain and loss of someone else is actually none of your business, and is a very personal thing, so making a video about it is not necessary. Even if he was “paper thin” it’s none of your business, showing support is one thing but making a video is another, but because of obsessed freaks like you, you still think it’s fine to make these kinds of videos😚
