Hyeri Responds to Belly Fat Controversy by Posting Slim Photos: 'I'll Try Hard, Including Working Out'

Hyeri, an actress and former member of the girl group Girl's Day, has responded to controversy claiming her stomach appeared prominent due to the outfit she wore at her fan meeting.

On the 16th, Hyeri posted photos and the text "Night Version" on her SNS. She revealed her appearance from her recent fan meeting where she appeared wearing hot pants. As if conscious of the recent belly fat controversy, she showed off her slim figure while exposing her waist.

Hyeri held the '2026 HYERI ASIA TOUR FANMEETING IN SEOUL' at the Samsung Hall of Ewha Womans University in Seoul on the 13th. This performance marked the beginning of her Asia fan meeting tour.

She performed Girl's Day hits such as 'Something', 'Twinkle Twinkle', and 'Ring My Bell', as well as aespa's 'Whiplash' and Choi Ye-na's 'CATCHY CATCHY'.

However, following the performance, various opinions poured in online regarding the tight-fitting outfit Hyeri wore. In particular, some netizens reacted that her abdomen appeared prominent due to the design and silhouette of the outfit.

In response, Hyeri communicated via a fan communication platform, stating, "Actually, I like myself, but I understand that those watching might think I'm not being professional. But I don't know why being slim is a requirement for being professional. Still, if Hyerumi (fandom) wants it, I'll try hard! By working out and staying healthy."

She will continue her fan meeting tour through major Asian cities including Macau, Ho Chi Minh, Hong Kong, and Taipei.
