look at loopy and i remember to Song Ji Hyo who really sensitive about weight lol, and the bear looks like gwangsoo lmao.Pororo's glasses make me remember to Yoo Jae Suk but it must be Haha cz its Haroro :D
I understand that weight is a very taboo subject in the US. But in Korea (where Pororo was created), it is normal to talk about someone's appearance. When you have gained weight, you friends and family will tell you. People say it's out of concern for your health. I think the last thing we need to do in the US is sugar coat the fact that someone is overweight. We need to address this serious epidemic. It starts with children. Not making them "insecure" but showing them a healthy body image.
I can see where the fuss is coming from but u do need to realize that people who are unhappy about their body image doesn't change their minds after a few encouraging words. While I was hoping loopy would be assured by her friends, in reality it helps but doesn't change the way they see themselves. This is telling us that words itself doesn't do all the work, what u truly need to do as a friend is support them and make sure they are doing it the healthy way.
LOL sorry I know that its a serious topic right now, but i fell over laughing at the part when Eddy drives up and she walks away lol. and after the wink she kills everyone lol
But yeah at the end the guys say shes not chubby. How do you think Poby feels lol He polar bear for crying out loud.
i think advocating dance as exercise for young kids is a great idea. this episode addresses body image, a very sensitive topic amongst Asian cultures.
What needs to be understood about Korean culture before watching any Korean shows or cartoons is the stress put on Korean girls by the media to be skinny and in shape. In Korea, expected to be extremely skinny is considered normal. Just like in the US, most people are overweight. The difference is how Koreans handle the media's influence. In the US, girls or guys think "These celebrities are so skinny, I wish I was like them." and don't make an effort. In Korea, they actually make an effort.
For a frame of reference, Korea has one of the highest anorexia rates in the world. So it is really F**Ked up that a kids' show talks about getting skinnier.
@chocolatehen Messed up body image is messed up body image. Loopy is still a child and can't possibly look like a grown-up person until she finishes growing. A better message would be "you're fine for you, and here's what you can do to be HEALTHY" I don't know Korean, so I'll have to trust that the subtitles were accurate that they character said "skinny"
However, any way you slice it, having a character in a kid's show set aside a glass of juice while imagining her butt inflating is not cool.
@MomOfLV It seems like some people really didn't get the point of the show. This mentions that skipping a meal to reduce is bad. Also, the pink beaver's friends said she is pretty as she is. So, do you still think the show is inciting children to go on a diet for beauty? In the foolish way? In addition, Most Asians are naturally skinny because of their healthy eating habit.
How is this anti-feminist? Just because the guys had the answers to the problem that troubled a girl? If being politically correct means guys have to be portrayed as 90% worthless, I'm voting this up for breaking such a narrow-minded mold.
Besides, the issue this deals with is something a lot of young girls struggle with. It gives real girls the message that competing with fictional girls is pointless. And managing their weight is best done with exercise, not regurgitation. This is very positive
eh, for what it's worth, i didn't think it was anti-feminist at all. if anything it's addressing body image/insecurity. the characters tell rupi that she's not chubby, and that if she does feel motivated to lose weight then she can do something about it with exercise. ultimately her friends like her either way
I came here because of Hello Baby. O_O

This episode wouldn't be aired in U.S. without controversy. It's true that kids need to deal with the idea of body image but not for this age group.
