After the video was posted, many internet users flocked to the video to express their concern for the idol's health. Many were afraid that she was suffering from an eating disorder and that she was in a bad cycle of losing weight, gaining a little, and then losing again.

Some comments read,

  • "I think once you are in that cycle, it is hard to break. I'm sure she wishes she wasn't like this. She must be facing some immense pressure."
  • "Wonyoung, please, I am genuinely scared for you, and I am not even a fan."
  • "She claimed to have gained 5kg to fit in with the other members visually, but I think there is more to it. It's sad to think about."

While some expressed concern for Jang Wonyoung, others believed that the TikTok should not have been posted in the first place and should not have gone viral. Weight is a sensitive subject, and everyone's body is different, urging many not to judge Jang Wonyoung.
