Influencer Choi Joon-hee took to social media to directly confront the rude, malicious comments directed at her. After she posted a photo of her abdomen, so thin that visible veins appeared, some netizens unleashed vitriol that crossed the line. She chose not to endure it, instead openly calling them out.

What particularly sparked public outrage was the malicious body-shaming that dragged in her late mother, Choi Jin-sil, with comments like "your mom must be furious in heaven" or "that's a body men hate." Given her history of gaining up to 96kg due to steroid side effects while battling lupus, and then losing it down to 41kg through rigorous discipline, people are pointing out that mocking her—and dragging her family into it—simply because she is thin now, is nothing short of irrational verbal violence.

Choi Joon-hee struck back with a sharp "Why don't you lose some weight yourself," while also showing her unshakeable attitude by sharing lighthearted glimpses into her daily life, such as the difference before and after makeup. This incident goes beyond mere gossip about a celebrity's weight loss; it poignantly exposes the cowardly face of malicious comments and the bizarre interference of those who feel entitled to judge others' bodies.
