Fans continue to worry about Red Velvet member Wendy's overly thin body.
Red Velvet, of which Wendy is a member, met fans by holding the 2026 Red Velvet FAN-CON "A Day in Red & Velvet" at Korea University HwaJeong Gymnasium in Seoul from July 31 to Aug. 2.
As the concert was held ahead of Red Velvet's full-group comeback and sold out all seats, the set list included hit songs such as "Dumb Dumb" (Dumb Dumb), "Bad Boy" (Bad boy), "RBB" (Really Bad Boy), "Psycho" and diverse album tracks such as "Huff N Puff" (Huff N Puff), "Blue Lemonade" (Blue Lemonade) and "Hit That Drum" (Hit That Drum).
In particular, the "Bulldozer" stage was revealed for the first time through the fan concert, and a fancam video of Wendy filmed by a fan is drawing attention on online communities and social media.
In the video, Wendy took the stage in a black halter net top with lace details that stood out and slim pants styling. Contrasting with her previously bright and fresh image, a hip and strong aura filled the stage as Wendy displayed powerful yet restrained charisma and showed intense, rhythmic choreography and gestures.
But the stage video was filled with comments worrying about Wendy's very thin body. Fans, seeing Wendy's emaciated appearance as if only bones remained, reacted with "I'm so worried," "What am I looking at right now," "I want to see her healthy self for a long time," "She has lost so much weight that even her muscles seem gone," "If she looks like that on camera, I can't imagine how thin she is in person," and "Wendy has been thin for a long time but used to have more muscle. Now she's just bones. I wish someone around her would say something," among other responses.
Wendy has been known for her dieting and management habits for some time. In 2017 she appeared on a variety show and said, "I've tried every diet. When I'm 40 I'll eat as much as I want," and on a web variety show she revealed her management routine, saying, "When I wake up I first take water and supplements. My body type fits morning fasting running, so I run on the treadmill wearing sweat clothes. At 12 or 1 I definitely go to pilates."
Meanwhile, Red Velvet, of which Wendy is a member, will release their summer mini album "Velvet Summer" at 6 p.m. on Aug. 3 on various music sites.
