Sunghoon Under Fire: Why Are Fans Body-Shaming Sunghoon

Sunghoon bodyshaming started after fans noticed a big change during his concerts. Fans started talking when his ENHYPEN body transformation became obvious during concerts. He looked broader, stronger, and much more muscular than the slim “ice prince” image people remember.

For plenty of fans, that Sunghoon muscle bulk up era was a good thing. They thought he looked healthy and strong. But things turned mean quickly. As concert videos and photos went viral, people started posting nasty comments. A popular report made the situation even worse by bringing more attention to the hate.

Weverse Live Comments Took It Further

The worst of it showed up on Weverse Live and Korean online communities. According to fan discussions, some commenters criticized his bigger frame and told him to lose weight. Others openly pushed the idea that he should go back to looking extremely thin, wanting him to look like the ‘walking stick’ image fans used to describe him as.

During one live, Sunghoon appeared to see those comments in real time. Fans said he went quiet, shifted in his seat, and answered in a subdued, almost apologetic tone: he didn’t have any more weight to lose. That moment spread quickly because of how uncomfortable he seemed. A discussion about his response called it genuinely heartbreaking.

Fans Say The Criticism Changed His Workout Habits

Some ENGENEs also connected the backlash to what happened next. In fan conversations, people said Sunghoon later lost much of the muscle from that “protein monster” phase and stopped working out heavily for a while.

Fans pushed back hard, saying there was nothing about a healthy adult idol looking muscular. Many ENGENEs were especially frustrated by repeated comments demanding that he look smaller again.
