"I will get a grip"

Singer PSY recently issued an apology to his fans and followers after receiving significant backlash for his weight loss. This week, numerous Korean netizens criticized his appearance, commenting that he appeared "too thin."

Today, PSY posted a video on Instagram showing himself enjoying a meal of boiled pork. Alongside the video, he shared a heartfelt message addressing the feedback he had received about his appearance.

“After receiving harsh criticism for losing weight, and being told by a young man in Subong that I looked thin, and hearing from the audience at Daegu 1st Arena that I looked thin too, I devoured boiled pork with salted shrimp, kimchi, and peppers, mixing them with green onion and seasoning in a rage, until I couldn’t tell if it was broth or tears. I will get a grip.” by PSY on Instagram.

In the video, PSY is seen enjoying a substantial meal of gukbap (pork rice soup) and boiled pork at a renowned restaurant with a 50-year legacy. The post swiftly attracted attention from netizens, who continued to express their opinions on his eating habits and appearance in the comments section.

“Since it’s Daegu Arena 2, you should get a second bowl of rice, too, right?”
“If you keep going like this, you might collapse before you even get to Busan. Eat more, quickly, quickly.”
“Your jawline shouldn’t be showing. Eat more. And after the Daegu concert, have some makchang (grilled intestines) with soju.”
“That restaurant… it’s quite far from the concert venue, but you still went there~ haha.”
“Sigh… eating just a piece of boiled pork at a time… trying to eat kimchi and pork together but ending up with only one… are you going to be able to perform like this? Please manage yourself properly… please ㅠㅠㅠㅠㅠ”
