However, others claimed that her round figure caused her to stand out less than her members. Some people claimed the idol appeared "chubby," which made her moves appear less elegant. As she is still young, many believe she still has baby weight. As she matures and loses weight, her visuals will become more attractive.
In the forum, people compared Jiwoo to aespa member Giselle. From her debut to now, Giselle is often scrutinized for her figure, with some claiming that she appeared heavier than the other members of aespa.

Another member of aespa was previously criticized for something similar. During their early debut days, Ningning was often criticized for being "chubby" compared to Karina and Winter. However, when she appeared to lose weight for the group's "Next Level" and "Savage" comebacks, Ningning garnered praise for her hard work and dedication.
South Korean internet users believe that a slim figure is an essential part of being a female idol. Because of that, some people are asking Jiwoo and Giselle to better "manage themselves" to show a better image to the public.
