On this platform, the normalization of bodyshaming has become alarmingly common. Mocking Changbin’s body, ridiculing his appearance, and treating these attacks as harmless jokes is neither humor nor opinion—it is harassment. The fact that this kind of content reaches thousands of views and interactions only shows how easy it is to dehumanize someone when they are perceived as a distant idol.
Changbin is not an object, not a fictional character, and not a punching bag for releasing frustration or fueling fanwars. He is a real person, with emotions, boundaries, and dignity. Constantly dragging him into conflicts between fandoms, using his image to provoke reactions, or justify personal attacks reflects a complete lack of empathy and accountability. He did not start these conflicts, nor does he deserve to carry the hatred others choose to direct at him.
The hypocrisy surrounding these situations is impossible to ignore. Many people demand respect, morality, and sensitivity when the idols they follow are attacked, yet remain silent, or actively participate, when the hate is directed at Changbin or other idols. This double standard also exists within the fandom itself and cannot continue to be overlooked. Bodyshaming cannot be condemned in one case and justified in another based on convenience. Selective empathy is not empathy.
There is absolutely no justification for insults targeting someone’s physical appearance, mass harassment, mockery disguised as humor, or threats. Defending personal preferences or favorite idols does not grant anyone the right to dehumanize another person. Someone’s appearance is not an argument, not a joke, and not a weapon to win internet disputes.
Furthermore, interacting with this type of content does not help stop it. Replying, quoting, or giving it visibility only amplifies its reach and makes it harder for such content to be removed. Anger is understandable, but the most effective response is always to report it under Abuse & Harassment (Inciting Harassment / Insults), block the accounts involved, and avoid engaging in any way.
The normalization of bodyshaming and hatred disguised as entertainment says far more about those who practice it than about the person they attempt to attack. Changbin deserves respect. Idols deserve respect. And moral consistency should not depend on who you follow or which side of a discussion you are on. Respect is not optional.

It has come to our attention that members have been filmed while off schedule during this leg of the tour.
We ask that you continue to respect SKZ privacy by NOT sharing these videos and condemning the people that share these blatant violations of privacy.
you know what i’m gonna say it…. it’s kind of really annoying and disrespectful how a lot of you are completely disregarding everything beomgyu has gone through over the years which he wrote about in panic and just playing it off as “he wrote it abt soobin’s break” when. that’s literally just not at all what he even said? he said himself that was not the entire reason but that he was feeling highly emotional during that time so he was able to write the song then since he was in a down headspace…. but not that the song was about that situation… he’s said many times now panic is about his mental health since he debuted and overcoming his pain and we also know last year was very hard on him in general so I think it’s really weird to undermine all that he’s been through and be like “it’s about soogyu” because he made 1 comment about writing it while soobin was gone :/ he tells us he wants to finally show us his true thoughts and feelings that are very personal to him and yall are just turning it into something totally different it’s very odd
The dumbest thing in kpop is how fans react to idols doing normal things. Like wtf do you mean it’s going on four months for Hwarangs from Tempest’s hiatus???? He’s been gone four months and missed a whole comeback over going to a club as a legal adult???? Bring him back already
