In the Korean online community, a recent post sparked a widespread discussion about the "real" height of the well-known Korean actress and Red Velvet member Bae Joo-hyun Irene and aroused scrutiny among Korean netizens.
The post was titled "Is Irene really 150 centimeters tall?" ", which has garnered more than 103,100 views and a large number of comments analyzing the issue.
The original poster compared Irene's height to her teammate Kang Shi-ki, whose profile profile shows her height at 161 cm, and even taking into account the possible 2-3 cm difference, the alleged height difference between Irene and Shiki, as well as between Yeri Kim and Son Seung-wan Wendy, remains a point of contention.
The netizen said, "Considering that Shiki's information says 161cm, even if there is a gap of 2-3cm, the gap with Shiki, Yeri and Wendy are also about 156 to 157, right?" The gap between them is quite large."
The post was accompanied by a screenshot of Red Velvet's recent return to the stage, in which Irene is significantly shorter than the rest of the team, however, some sharp-eyed netizens pointed out in the comments that Irene's posture in the screenshot is hunched over because of the choreography of the "Universe" dance.
The members of Red Velvet, with the exception of Park so-young Joy, who is significantly taller, are all popular for their petite stature, and have even become popular many times because they appear much shorter compared to younger K-Pop groups.
The comment section reflects the various opinions of Korean netizens, with some netizens believing that if you consider her appearance and popularity, whether height is still so important when evaluating Irene's overall attractiveness.
Netizens left messages saying, "Irene is petite, but is she a little hunchback in the photo?" "Even so, if her face is Irene's, what does it matter about her height? ", "Except for Joy, why do they only choose such short people, SM definitely doesn't care about height", "The height gap with Shiki is not big, why does she live like that, and use such a photo to claim that she is 150cm tall? "Irene is bending her legs, isn't she? "Wait.
