Recently, a netizen sent a message to Tzuyu (TWICE) through the paid communication application for fans "Bubble", this person wrote: "Can't you reduce fat in your legs? The supporting dancer is even slimmer than you".
Tzuyu replied humorously: "Thank you. Save money and use it for useful purposes.
When screenshots of the exchange spread on forums and social networks, a wave of criticism quickly erupted. Not only TWICE fans but also international Kpop fans in general also spoke out against negative comments aimed at Tzuyu.
This comment appeared after TWICE's concert on February 15, when a Tzuyu performance video attracted attention abroad, in which some international fans questioned the beauty standards in Korea.
In the video, Tzuyu performs a powerful dance with a short bodysuit combined with fur boots. An international fan commented: "I really hate Korean beauty standards. Slim legs? That's ridiculous. There should be more female idols like Tzuyu".
This view supports that Tzuyu's figure does not follow the "slender" standards of Korea, but pursues a healthy appearance.
The incident once again sparked a debate in the global Kpop fan community about the strict assessment of appearance in the Korean entertainment industry.
Conversely, some Korean netizens refuted that: "It is unreasonable to generalize the beauty standards of an entire nation based on a few personal opinions.
Before Tzuyu's calm handling, many viewers expressed their support with comments such as: "Paying money just to leave malicious comments?", "Tzuyu's answer is very classy", "Tzuyu really has a seductive figure"...
Tzuyu (Chu Tu Du) was born in 1999, with Chinese nationality. She is the youngest member in the famous Kpop girl group TWICE. Right from her debut in 2015, Tzuyu has been praised as the most outstanding beauty in the group, as well as female groups of the same generation.
In October last year, Tzuyu and 3 members Nayeon, Jihyo, Momo had a fiery performance at the lingerie show "Victoria's Secret Fashion Show 2025" in the US.
Tzuyu's sexy appearance caused a social media storm. The "Wear Everywhere Push-Up Bra" bra with a retail price of 39.95 USD was immediately "sold out" by Tzuyu on Victoria's Secret's official website in Japan, China, the US, the Philippines and many regions.
Even, this product is called "Tzuyu bra" and caused a fever for a long time. Tzuyu's change from a cute, sweet style to a sexy, bold one has received much support.
Earlier this year, Victoria's Secret announced the Valentine's Day lingerie collection with TWICE as the representative face. Tzuyu and TWICE members continue to accompany the brand in the campaign to honor feminine, confident and multi-faceted beauty.
