Billlie Tsuki Reveals Company Stopped Her Muscle Training Over “Too Thick” Legs. These Beauty Rules Are Infuriating!
Her revelation on the show shocked many fans and sparked conversations over how companies treat K-pop idols.
South Korea sets very strict beauty rules for women. Every part, from face to body, must follow ideals. And recently, Billlie’s Tsuki shared that her agency stopped her from lifting weights because her legs grew too muscular, far from the thin look expected of female K-pop stars. Fans are reacting to it angrily. Read on to know more!
During an episode of the MBC variety programme Radio Star, Tsuki opened up about her passion for fitness. She talked about building impressive strength through regular workouts, reaching a total lift of 165 kilograms across three key exercises. Her dedication paid off, but it clashed with professional demands.
After one photoshoot, the images captured shadows that made her toned legs seem overly wide. Staff felt absurd, as it was the opposite of the delicate image expected from idols. So, the agency stepped in with a firm rule and asked her to stop heavy lifting for now.
This setback did not take down Billlie Tsuki’s love for staying active. She turned towards activities like jogging. Her honest words on the show shocked many viewers and raised conversations over how companies control idols’ bodies.
Give energetic performances! But don’t be athletic! But don’t be frail! But be skinny! But don’t get sick! But never eat! But be pretty! But be effortless! Truly and earnestly fuck you to the beauty standards of k-pop. https://t.co/9h9svptMNz

Earlier, on the show Heo Young-man’s Baekban Journey, OH MY GIRL’s Mimi shared a tough memory from her early days. The group got a chance to shoot for a skincare brand ad. However, Mimi stayed behind in the waiting room, as her skin tone didn’t match the theme of the ad.
This hurt the K-pop idol a lot and she practised hard to change her image. But there were no results. These stories from Tsuki and Mimi are extremely frustrating. Women often face endless judgement. They ignore everything else and focus only on their faces and bodies as if they have the right to judge. All we hope is that the world is kinder to all of them.
