The post sparked fierce debate over body image standards in the idol industry.
Koreaboo
KATSEYE’s Daniela has sparked heated debate with a simple Instagram photo after the star revealed her height and weight to fans.
Earlier this week, Daniela shared a photo of her driver’s license on her story. Alongside drawing admiration for her surprisingly photogenic ID photo, the post quickly became a talking point when fans noticed her listed height and weight.
According to the license card, Daniela stands 5 feet 4 inches tall and weighs 110 pounds, prompting some to make lighthearted jokes about her height as the shortest member of KATSEYE.

Others, however, reacted more seriously. Many fans argued that she was promoting unhealthy standards by intentionally revealing her weight, expressing concern about the impact on younger fans who might view the number as a goal to achieve themselves. Some also slammed EYEKONs for claiming that KATSEYE rejects the traditional standard for idols’ body types, claiming that her weight is too low to be healthy.

On the flip side, many fans defended Daniela, insisting that her weight falls into a healthy range for her height and noting that she trains for hours a day as a performer to keep her body strong.

She’s 5’4 and dances 8 hours a day that’s genuinely not that crazy of a weight for that height and that much cardio

According to body mass index calculations, Daniela’s measurements place her at a BMI of 18.9, which falls just within the “healthy” range of 18.5 to 24.9. However, modern health professionals have increasingly criticized BMI as an inaccurate measure, particularly for women and those with muscular builds.
