ITZY member Chaeryeong directly shut down a fan comment urging her to eat less during a June 30 fan chat. The idol shared a photo of her full poke bowl and confirmed she planned to finish every bite.
On June 30 in KST, Chaeryeong posted a picture of her meal on a fan communication platform and fielded comments from supporters. When one fan told her to eat just a small amount, she replied that she was going to eat the whole bowl.
Fans quickly rallied online with backlash against the comment, calling out what they saw as toxic policing of idols' diets. Multiple users shared screenshots and expressed frustration, with some suggesting the behavior reflected broader issues in the fandom.
The incident adds to ongoing discussions about body image pressures in K-pop, though Chaeryeong's direct response stood out as a firm boundary. No further statements from the agency or other members were reported in the coverage.
