People praised the singer for her noticeable weight loss, claiming that her beauty now stands out among members. They also explained that Liz is naturally a "stan-attractor," but she suddenly became controversial for not being able to manage her body after debut.

Liz was constantly bullied for her bigger frame and "swollen" face compared to other members, and it seems it pushed her to shed weight.
