The downfall of Wonyoungism (a Kpop commentary) 

OMG YOU'RE SO PRETTY I LEGIT DIDN'T KNOW IF YOU WERE REAL WHEN I SAW THE THUMBNAIL

And then when Liz gained weight she was also heavily criticized like wth these idols don’t know now where to place themselves it’s kinda sad

omg, i agree 100 perscent. Also when wonyongism came out i thought it was so cute. But it slowly got more and more toxic

I've never seen any one talk about the negative side of wonyoungism fortunately I've not rlly seen any posts that glorifies unhealthy habits but I understand how things went wrong and rlly enjoyed ur take on it!! Great vid 🩰✨

the thing is, wonyoungism in itself is a good, healthy thing- it means to be your best self and not care what others think, because "you are you, i am me." for me it encouraged effective habits like doing pilates, consistent skincare, properly studying and helped me dress better. but i've definitely seen those tips around that glorify unhealthy things disguised as 'strictness' and 'discipline.' like that's not motivation, that's just going to make you miserable!!! they make people think that wonyoungism is all about being skinny and pretty when it's not. so annoying.

Toxic Wonyoung Accs are so annoying and the ones that say "harsh motication" are just bullying people which has to actually stop

Acne is normal thing and I’m tired of people thinking it’s weird and unnatural

Fr, I think some people forget that when woonyoung was "unhealthy" and hating on her she has still a minor, she was a teenager. She could have been perfectly health and might have look skinnier bc of the busy schedules. It so ridiculous this hole situation people need to stop comparing themselves to idols

You are so pretty ❤ Also, as someone who had a failed attempt with Wonyoungisim due to acne, I 100% agree with your opinion

real wonyoungism is good but some people try to change this actually ı love real wonyoungism

So I’m 30 and pregnant and I’ve always been underweight. I’m still underweight and PREGNANT! I weigh 48 kg (106 lbs) and I’m 5’6 and nearly 4 months pregnant. It is very hard for me to gain weight it always has been. I was actually hoping to gain weight when I found out I was pregnant, but actually started losing weight because of food aversions and morning sickness. I’ve never had an ED, and actually always hated my body for being so thin. However I’m realizing now that’s just how I am. Even now pregnant when most women gain weight I’m still struggling to do so. I say all this because you don’t know someone and their body. When I was Wonyoung’s age I was barely 45 kg (100 lbs). So when I see people make such comments to young women who are thin I want to speak up for them. Some people have fast metabolisms, some have small stomachs so get full much faster, some might have an illness that makes it hard for them to gain weight. We do not know. There’s just no need for the rude comments. It’s okay if you’re genuinely worried for the person, but I thought to shed some light that it’s not always an ED.

wonyoungism is supposed to be a healthy mindset like wonyoung she always tells fans to eat well and to take care of our bodies and health i hate how toxic it’s gotten

I get all my wonyoungism content from youtube like a boomer and when you showed that "you are you, I am me" one I was so glad I'm not on tiktok LMAO

I had an eating disorder for YEARS. It did damage to my body that I am still dealing with. I would NEVER encourage anorexia. Loving k pop but having had a ton of body image issues from my anorexia results in periods of time that I can’t really watch k pop idols. However I always remind myself that I’m 3 inches taller than my favorite idols and I’m not at Asian( they are smaller in bone structure than I am and I can’t compare myself to them) plus I’m not as young and we all know your metabolism slows down with age

As someone who had acne from age 10-28, I got the last laugh. All the people who made fun of me for it in high school now look 10-20 years older than me. My best friend from high school used to make fun of me for having acne and oily skin, and now her kids refuse to believe we went to school in the same decade let alone the same class. I had another friend who made fun of me and now she gets mistaken for my mother on a semi regular basis. So if you have acne and oily skin, just know that when you’re 35+ you’ll look 5-10 years younger and the people with perfect skin will look 5-10 years older.

as someone who had suffered with intense, painful hormonal acne my entire life, thank you for telling people who post hate about others' faces and bodies to eff off >:D queen behabior for standing up to bullying. you're beautiful inside and out for that (something that some bullies who practice extreme lookism will never understand apparently...). thank you for another well--spoken video : )

"Wonyoungism" is the most chronically online word ive seen in my life

Wow, you are so eloquent, you said exactly what needs to be said. Instant sub! Please keep posting, I'm calling it now, you are definitely going to make it big

Thank you for this video! I got into self-care a year ago, and started stanning and following Wonyoung and Wonyoung aesthetic. I hated seeing people making fum of others because of eating, acne, etc. So you bringing this up and saying that it's okay, and you should focus on YOU, really helped me. Thank you!😊

more people need to see this omg

As a wonyoungism acc I hate how toxic wonyoungism has gotten, on RU-vid it isn’t the bad but tiktok is way worse!

I’m glad you’re talking about it

showing your hair to my next salon appointment, love your hair color and hairstyle

love your commentary! btw, can you do a makeup tutorial?? your makeup is so pretty

the idea tht wony is promoting unhealthy body standard is just fckin wild cuz how is she honestly doin dat, by simply existing? cuz everytime I seen or read anything wony said she is just talkin bout how much she loves to eat n never commented on her weight or tht she is actively doin something to keep it or lose it, like the only time she spoke on dieting is when she told students to never diet n tht they shouldn’t worry bout things like tht in their young age, lord just leave the poor girl alone at this point

i think i’ve never seen someone talk about this subject like you did, like i completely agree with you! btw ur so pretty and i love your humor🫶🏼🫶🏼

I just fell upon your channel and i love your point of views! Continue, I'm loving your content 🤍

MAD underrated

ahhh how do i put this? when something is a factor or causes something(in science) it might not be the sole or primary cause....like if ur skin is prone to acne coz of say genetics, eating oily food will add to it bur if ur not genetically prone, oily foods wont be a problem, so eating oily food is a factor for acne but its not solely responsible there cud be sooo many reasons for oily foods affecting or not....these topics require research so pls dont jump the gun in such matters...hope this makes sense! and i hope u don't take it the wrong way no offence!!

I started with Wonyoungism 8 months ago and it really helped me, and it make me sad to see these toxic sides of this trend. It was a trend that was supposed to help others, not helping with ed's

I don't think wonyoung is responsible for fans's eating disorders, cause let's be honest if it wasn't Wonyoung, these people would have taken someone else as a thinspo. Believe me. Especially since Wonyoung never promoted any bad habits, there's plenty of videos were she tells her fans that eating enough, having enough sleep and avoiding stress is very important, that's pretty healthy if you want my opinion. There are also many compilations of her asking her fans if they ate well before they met. And in Ive's content she's always talking about what she ate and what she wants to eat. It may be a lie, but in any case she has never been caught talking about starving herself or doing any diet. You're not responsible for people's disorders by just existing, and if she had an ED herself how could we ask someone who's mentally ill to take the responsabilty for people's ed ? That just doesn't make sense. Also for the "if you have acne it's because you eat too much fast food" hell no. In 18years I've been in a fast food like 5 times I think, because my family don't like it so we never eat there (I'm not a big fan either though, the only times I go there it's because I'm with my friends who don't have acne 🤦🏼‍♀️), I literally wash my face everyday and have a complete skincare provided by my dermatologist, and I've also tried TWO treatments against acne and guess what ? I still have acne. I don't get why people think it is related to unhealthy habits or with being dirty, I live in France and I've never heard about it, every body know that acne comes with puberty cause it's caused by hormones. I feel like only Americans think that.

this video needs to go viral great job keep it up❤

I clicked immediately to check if this is AI or a poser lol😂. YOU'RE SO PRETTYY, nice content, new subscriber❤

Man i got shocked When I saw how many views you have, you are underrated as hell 😭😭😭💔

Help😭🤚 1st off, what you said in this video absolutely is REAL!! Not only that but the way you talked about it is very relatable! I too cant stand my anger when it comes to people like these!! Like please sit down

this is specifically why i deleted tiktok like 9 months ago. my brain rot has healed and im so much happier lmao

You are so well informed that it surprised me. This is your first video i see from you 🥰 but instant subscribe.

You look like you could be a I've member actually. I really like your content and simplicity in your videos. Its refreshing.

Woah, your so pretty and underrated!!! I will be looking forward to your future videos.

gurl u are literally beautiful, i’m a dive too 💓 and i honestly don’t like how much forced hate wony gets.. but honestly i needed this, i have a lot of insecurities, and i’ve always wanted to look better, but you’ve helped me 🫶🏼

girl i literally thought u were ai in the thumbnail😭 ur sooo pretty and this video was really well made💕💕

You raised an interesting point about how paradoxically, Wonyoungism accounts hide behind her profile picture to hate on people who don’t behave in the same way she does. This mirrors her haters, who are otherised in the Wonyoungism ideology.

„Acne is not a choice.“ „Your not better because you have clear skin. Get over yourself.“ Felt so good hearing this while looking at my own acne. Thank you!!

I LOVEEE this, and I think you’re super underrated!!! I just know soon you’ll reach over 100k 💗🤭 OH and you’re super gorgeous!!

WOAHHH YOU LOOK SO ANGELIC ??? I LOVE THE HAIRRR

If self love related wonyoungism content isn’t the only one you get, but there’s ed related one too, it means TikTok reads information from your other apps and info from the content you interact with and follow (including TikTok). So be careful because algorithm is clever 💖 I have only seen self love related content on wonyoungism - I have not even 1 bad thing to say, it has changed my life for the best & in every community there are toxic people, but , if you don’t want to see Ed content on tiktok, then don’t follow it on other apps

and wonyoungism is supposed to be promoting healthy standards… not promoting something like having an unhealthy body besides, i really wanted to do wonyoungism so much that i even set wonyoung as my ult bias (ive isn't my ult anymore because illit came along, but i still stan ive)

omg ur gorgeous 😭🙏

Damn when you said "so much older than me" I died. Half of the black pink members would only be 5 years older than you. This is why I'm scared of turning 20. T.T Everyones gonna think I'm gonna be so old in another couple of years.

omg I just discovered your channel, first of all, you’re absolutely gorgeous, second of all, I feel like wonyoungism was definitely really amazing at first, but over time… it became so toxic! It’s disgusting. Ily, pls keep creating amazing content, I’ll support you!

I like your videos because yout voice is smooth and clear, and i can listen to you as a listening practise (i'm not a english speaker) while working, tysm

Something that always bothered me about this aesthetic was how they tend to promote a single body type & try to make it seem accessible if people adhered to certain diets & actives like pilates. But everyone's body is different & the results will differ from one person to the next. Two people can do the exact same sport/workouts & have similar diets but still have completely different bodies (Ik from experience as a former figure skater). Same thing can be said for skincare (you can avoid junk food & still have acne). Also this lifestyle isn't "realistic" to everyone. Some people already have busy schedules (work, school, etc) & some people can't afford certain products/foods associated with the aesthetic (I mean have you seen the state of the economy rn? Grocery prices are high in some places).

CRAZY REQUEST : any recommendations for the most toxic sources? Deprivation and crazy recommendations motivate me in a strange way. When I watch all those toxic videos it's like "ok, they can live off one apple a day, so you definitely will survive if you'll eat rice and veggies without adding ice-cream for a dessert". Like, I need to see the extreme to find my middle. So. Any resources?

Please consider doing a video on the vitriol IVE Liz received when she gained a little weight. It was so sad 😔

i feel bad for wonyoung! people are trying to base their whole lifestyles off of hers but.. we don’t know her lifestyle! and we ESPECIALLY shouldn’t be using her as thinspo. it’s so upsetting for viewers and maybe for wonyoung as well. people need to remember she’s a person just like the rest of us

Girl you are so angelic 👁️👄👁️

I understand that people sharing ed videos should take acccountability but speaking as someone who used to be very very ill with a ed, your ed voice/illness truly takes over your mind. You very much live in this unhealthy negative world in your mind not thinking about what you may be posting on social media let alone what you are saying in real life to people. The accounts that post those ed videos also want to jump into this negative kpop/ed/unhealthy community because ed's are a very very lonely and sad illness. Again this is just from my own experience and trust me when these people actually get help and get better they will feel awful and realise the sillyness they shared on tiktok/social media but you can't force these people to get help, they are publicly struggling and sharing awful toxic things but again, ed's do so much to cope and to take over someones life, thoughts and actions. Its truly a awful illness that never fully leaves you, even though I am not in the depths of my ed anymore I still struggle on a daily basis. Not hating on you btw!!! This was a great video on wonyoungism and I agree it got really out of hand from people taking good care of themselves like wonyoung to actually physically wanting to look like wonyoung because she is so naturally so thin (keep in mind not everyone is naturally this thin, everyones bodies and body systems are different so never force a body that is normal and healthy for someone else but not for you!!!) I just wanted to stress a little more that the people posting toxic ed/kpop stuff and the people who turned wonyoungism into a shared ed coping mechinism are scarily struggling inside their own world/mind. Instead of hating these people, next time report the account or encourage them to get help so they will stop the unhealthy actions they are presenting online.

I just found your channel by accident and I have to say that you‘re are very pretty because your outer beauty matches your inner one! Loved your opinions and the nuances you had that people often forget to consider❤

Where do you get your clothes, theyre so cute!!! Btw you're really pretty

you being the 7th member of ive.. 🤍

6:50 you ate this part ily

I think the original philosophy of self care and confidence was a generally good thing. And being inspired to better and have high self-esteem is a net good. But calling it “Wonyoungism” feels a bit weird. It’s obsessing over a girl you don’t know, and trying to replicate a life style you’ll never know the full extent of.

omg i follow you on tiktok this caught me off guard. but you ate that ;P

Most of the people on Wonyoungism community are very nice to each other. Of course there will be always some people who are toxic. But Wonyoungism actually helped a lot of people.

You're giving major Hermione Granger vibes (in the best way possible!)

I watched a few of your videos and i share the same thoughts, i love your content! 🤍

I’m so glad this video popped up on my recommended! I’ve had the same opinion about wonyongism and it was nice to hear someone else’s take on it.♡Also you really are so pretty and I love your shirt! Where’s it from?
