…it attracted criticism of her body as well. Many international fans believed that she had once again started using hip pads to make her hips stand out more.

Hip pads have risen in South Korea recently, with many natural-looking options. They have been used especially to cover hip dips or to give the body a more hourglass shape.

Fans have been claiming that while her viral “U Go Girl” performance seemed to show off her natural curvy body, her hips looked unnatural in the performance at Inha University’s festival.

It's okay to admit she wore hip pads In this particular video compared to the pic y'all are showing.
First pic she's obviously not wearing hip pad cuz her small frame and hips balances equally lol. https://t.co/xy7RdNSohq pic.twitter.com/W6KzEIHr3K

With more balanced comments also come undeservingly harsh criticism.

On the other hand, some have called out these malicious comments for their over-concern about the star and her body.

Some even called it “misogynistic” with the way Yuna’s body in particular is consistently dissected.

Wow, foreign fans don't deserve to say that Knetz is misogynistic. why are you guys so obsessed with her body? It's so disgusting🤮🤮🤮🤮 https://t.co/pF7MAegUBA
