Actress Shin Min-a and singer-actress Hyeri have become embroiled in controversies surrounding their body shapes and appearances.

Hyeri recently faced an unintended "belly fat controversy" due to her fan meeting attire. On the 7th, she appeared on stage at a fan meeting held at Seoul Ewha Womans University Samsung Hall wearing a slim-fit one-piece dress.

However, due to Hyeri's outfit and the camera angle, some viewers remarked that her lower abdomen appeared prominent, sparking heated debate about her body shape.

Seemingly aware of the controversy, Hyeri shared various fan meeting outfits on her Instagram, labeling them as "Night Version."

Amid the ongoing controversy, Hyeri finally spoke out. Through a fan communication platform, she stated, "Actually, I like myself, but viewers might think I'm not acting like a professional. (But I don't understand why one must be slim to be considered professional.) Still, if Hyerumi (her fandom name) wants me to, I will try my best. I'll exercise and stay healthy."

Shin Min-a also drew attention for appearing slightly heavier than before.

On the 15th, she attended a VIP screening of the film "The Pupil" at Seoul Yongsan-gu CGV Yongsan i-Park Mall. Notably, Shin Min-a's husband, Kim Woo-bin, also attended the VIP screening, generating further buzz. Kim Woo-bin stood in the photo zone to support his wife's film and engaged in fan service for attendees.

Shin Min-a, who appeared at the official event, became the subject of pregnancy rumors. This was due to her cheeks appearing fuller than before, making her look as though she had gained weight.

However, fans cautioned against excessive speculation, stating, "Assuming pregnancy simply because someone is married is rude," and "Appearance can vary depending on lighting, clothing, and camera angles."

Shin Min-a experienced a similar situation last year. At the "Disney+ Originals Preview 2025" held in Hong Kong ahead of her marriage announcement, she was photographed wearing loose-fitting attire, which sparked premarital pregnancy rumors. At the time, her agency firmly denied the claims. Following the denial of pregnancy rumors, Shin Min-a and Kim Woo-bin held their wedding in December of last year.

Recently, as excessive online evaluations and speculation regarding celebrities' body shapes and appearances have continued, voices calling for self-reflection on the excessive interest in their private lives and bodies are also emerging.
