Netizens and K-pop fans talked about IVE Liz's supposed weight gain. Although some K-pop idols who gain weight usually garner negative comments from netizens due to body standards in the K-pop industry, the K-pop idol was able to collect praise instead.

As per fans of the K-pop idol, Liz's chubby cheeks made her look younger and even cuter. Furthermore, Liz's fair skin and big bright eyes also supplemented her charm. Even though the IVE member garnered chubbier cheeks, Liz's iconic dimple seems to be more prominent.

This is not only a great compliment to IVE's Liz but a great step toward body positivity in the K-pop industry as it is known how strict the standards are in terms of visuals in K-pop.
