Danielle is gaining attention for her weight during her pre-debut days, which sparked discussion regarding her current weight and idols debuting at such a young age.

Here's what people are saying.

NewJeans Danielle Sparks Discussion Regarding Her Weight During Pre-Debut Days

Danielle's presence in NewJeans is a force to be reckoned with since the idol is a pivotal member of the team. Loved for her sheer talent, multilingual assets, genuine personality, and contagious smile, Danielle has proven herself as one of the best fourth-gens in K-pop.

Bunnies who were in deep enough within NewJeans' history are also overly familiar with Danielle's past, as she has appeared in numerous variety shows as a child, loved for her cuteness and presence. Eventually, Danielle worked her way up to become a singer.

In 2018, Danielle once performed at the Young Artist Festival held by MICKLE PRODUCTION. The performance was well-received by Bunnies, who treasured and considered it one for the books since Danielle is now a member of fourth-gen K-pop's leading girl group, NewJeans.

However, in a thread made by netizens, Danielle's weight also caught the attention of many. The post titled, "Wow, so Danielle also dieted," was flocked by the author, who uploaded two screenshots of Danielle's performance that emphasized her weight.

The OP captioned, "I thought she was born with that skinny figure, but it looks like she lost a ton of weight."

Netizens also commented on the post, pointing out Danielle's "meatier" proportions in the screenshots and comparing it to her "skinnier" present. Others argued that Danielle still looked averagely skinny in the photos.

Straying away from the weight topic, some even mentioned that Danielle's visuals resembled renowned South Korean psychiatrist and author Oh Eun Young. Read their comments below:

•  "But even in the video, she has a nice body even though it's different from now."
•  "Even in the photo you posted, she's not considered chubby here."
•  "But mixed people and Western people in general, they really don't gain any weight on their face."
•  "She looks like Oh Eun Young ahjumma."
•  "I thought she looked as skinny as Rosé here but looks like she can even lose more weight."

International netters joined the discussion, where they addressed how young teens are forced into a harsh diet once they get exposed to the K-pop industry. They remarked:

•  "Even children have to diet."
•  "Do they believe all idols are born underweight? This is a weird post. She was still skinny here and now she's skinnier."
•  "This is why I hate children becoming idols. No child should ever have to go through dieting or the rigorous trainee process or idol life."
•  "She wasn't even overweight ever, but now she's super skinny. I hope it's a reminder to K-pop fans that most idols are forced to diet and they're not 'naturally' like that."
