Do we REALLY have to be "skeletal" to debut? Coz the pressure is getting insane.

Every time I watch recent music show fancams, some idols look so painfully thin that I’m genuinely scared their legs might snap. And if they look like that on camera, they must be literal skin and bones in real life… ㅠㅠ

I get evaluated every week and the feedback is always "the camera makes you look bigger, so lose more weight." But honestly, how do you even find the power to dance when you’re that emaciated? Is it even healthy? Since this is the standard for K-pop right now, I’ve been obsessing over the numbers on the scale and trying to force myself into a lower weight category, but it’s giving me major imposter syndrome. Sometimes the reality check hits way too hard.
