theyre equally gushing over her and disgusted by her weight. Strange.

I don't think it's her (herself), but the impression people are getting with what kind of image the industry tries to promote.

Her proportions are a little more dramatic. I wouldn't criticize her, but out of early impressions, she does look concerningly skinny. I haven't heard of any attributes of fragility or health issues, and it seems like it's just the case of legitimately having a "supermodel" figure.

The babyface, kinda singular aesthetic is probably also wearing on her critics. Me personally, I'm not hating. I'm just seeing there's a lack of versatility being showcased if we had to review the technical side of visuals which is generally its own can of worms in this industry.

So that + her figure + her singing and dancing not exactly being anywhere close to exceptional (well, she's not awful either), and then being at the forefront of two groups, I get that it doesn't sit entirely right with some people. She's at the forefront predominantly due to a particular aspect of her visual (her figure). Comparisons are also something we wouldn't really want to get into, but it's hard to miss what other leads/faces do that she doesn't.

Don't get me wrong though, that doesn't warrant directing criticisms at her. I think it's particularly fascinating when people with traits or qualities that are believed to land them in other industries, end up in this one. Itzy Yuna and Weki's Doyeon are similar. Lesserafim's Kazuha coming from a ballet academy is also an interesting one.
