While maintaining weight comes naturally to many idols, others struggle to do so and have to resort to extreme diets. But while dieting and maintaining weight has definitely become one of the top obstacles for idols, Wendy believes it shouldn’t be.

On a recent talk show segment regarding the guests’ current concerns, the topic of weight was brought up into the discussion. Wendy responded to show host Han Hye Jeon‘s concerns, by saying ” I feel that I don’t think things such as weight are that important. I think being healthy is sufficient. Also, I think it’s really pretty when women are confident.”

Hence no matter how people’s outer appearance and no matter how they are, we overlook these kind of things because that is just so cool. For me, I really thank that is great.”
