Is Jung Ryu Won Anorexic or Are Netizens Overreacting?

Written by Youngji On August 17, 2011

When Jung Ryu Won’s paparazzi shot hit the cyberspace on August 15th, many netizens commented that the actress may be suffering from anorexia. Despite the positive comments about her figure, rumors about Jung’s eating disorder spread enough to trigger the actress to state that she loves consuming meat and that she does not have an eating disorder during her interview. Her upcoming movie Pain co-star, Kwon Sang Woo even added that Jung eats a lot but doesn’t gain any weight.

Speculations about Jung Ryu Won’s eating disorder isn’t anything new and she has tried to set the fact many times. However, her words doesn’t seem to stick with stubborn netizens who will believe whatever they feel and think is right. After seeing Jung Ryu Won’s latest interview, I wonder if there is any point in trying to explain herself anymore. She will have to go through this every time another “too skinny” picture is released and the netizens will believe whatever they want to.

As a rule of thumb, Korean entertainers do not and can not piss off the netizens. However, shouldn’t it be okay for the stars to just ignore stupid comments from netizens and critics (myself included) and just carry on with their lives at some point? Or are they obligated to listen to and comply with our opinions because we play the role of the fans, who allow them to have a career? What do you think? Is Jung Ryu Won Anorexic or are netizens overreacting again because they are jealous?

Personally, I have a feeling that she is just one of those people who cannot gain weight. Mostly because she has been consistantly this thin, and has never looked “ill”. At least IMO. I have a good friend who is the same. She eats all the stuff I wish I could and is still as stick thin as she was as a teen. And she’s closer to 30 now!

it’s none of our business whether she eats or not, though it seems to be human nature to stick one’s nose where it doesn’t belong -.-
I don’t really know her to well, from what I see she is very thin but I’ve seen and worked with people who are much worse.
what I think is, humans will search for faults in each other, whether it be weight or behavior, it seems humans try to find reasons to hate each other sometimes.
Korea is also very obsessed with their weight as well, it’s a common thing to talk to each other about their weight while in places like America we tend to dance around the subject unless the person in question brings it up them selves… IDK, this is really just observations I’ve made, I’m probably just spouting nonsense

She’s skinny as hell, but she looks better now than she did last year.

I agree! She look sickly thing last year. She’s actually starting to look healthy in these pics and going back to the usual sort of thinness that she has. And extreme thinness/weight loss doesn’t have to be from not eating. A friend of mine a few years ago started losing a ton of weight. Then she got checked out by a doctor and found out that she had hyperthyroidism and had to be treated with radioactive iodine. JRW claims she eats a lot of meat, but I find that meat doesn’t help you gain weight as much as eating a lot of noodles and rice.

Netizens *facepalm*. I think they are just jealous because she has slim figure. Some people have fast metabolism that they can just eat whatever they want without gaining weight. Stop searching for people’s fault and find something better to do -.-

Fast metabolism my ass. She was bone skinny and obviously there wasn’t enough food being eaten. I dunno if it was her own personal problems or she has asshole management and her acting label but I was truely worried about her. Lately she seems a little better so hopefully someone intervened but I would say add a titch more weight and muscle and I won’t be sweating bullets

I feel sorry for her because clearly she isn’t anorexic, she just has those genes where she can’t gain weight no matter how much she eats. It is pretty clear even back when she debuted, she was thin and til now she is still the same. I think netizens should move on and find something else to worry about.

if she gains weight, the netizens will then think she’s fat.

celebs just can’t win sometimes.

She looks extremely underweight, she looks better now but there was a point around a year ago where you could see that she was clinically underweight and even dangerously thin. A lot of people don’t seem to see anything dangerous in looking that thin but it is. Eating disorders have several side effects which can lead to death. She might be naturally thin but I would say she’s still to thin.

I don’t buy that bullshit “I eat SOOO much, but I just can’t gain any weight!” – 2 yoghurts and an apple hardly count as very much. Sure, there are people who digest fast, but unless you’re a leaky bucket, you can’t eat too much and be super skinny.
And Ryeo Won had more meat back in Chakra and even Sam Soon days. Last cpuple of years she has been very, very thing. But anorexic? Not yet. She should eat a bit more tho.

People have been saying this about her for YEARS UPON YEARS. The bitch is thin, get over it. Just do what I do, be jealous and become a stan of hers. She can act her bony ass off, that’s all that matters.

Everyone is different. We got to accept her as she is. She got a wonderful personality, great values, soft spoken and very beautiful. She is the best actress with great sense of humor too. We can’t judge by her physical looks. Personality and character counts alot.
