B2ST’s Kikwang defends his height on ‘Weekly Idol’

B2ST‘s Kikwang explained the truth behind rumors that say he’s shorter than 170cm (5’6″).

On the recent broadcast of MBC Every1‘s ‘Weekly Idol‘, Kikwang, who’s been given nicknames such as “midget” and “kid”, stated, “Portal site profiles say that I’m 170.8cm (5’7″). In reality, I’m sure I’m taller than 170cm. I’m actually still growing right now.”

MC Defconn responded, “I feel like you’re taller than last year,” comforting Kikwang. Jung Hyung Don, however, was a bit skeptical after comparing his height to member Doojoon, who’s 177cm (5’10″) tall.

The truth about Kikwang’s height and an investigation into B2ST’s profile data will air on August 29th at 6PM KST.

IU reveals her true height and weight on ‘Strong Heart’

We recently reported that IU would reveal her true height and weight, and the nation’s little sister did exactly that.

On the May 29th episode of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, IU was determined to set a few rumors straight.

“My bones are thin, so they can appear thin even when I have some meat on my bones,” she said. “I lost a lot of weight suddenly, and so people have been saying that I look like I am starved, and that I look like an elementary school student.”

“I want to reveal my true height and weight right here,” she added.

A weighing and height scale was then brought out into the studio, and after IU stepped on, her true height was proven to be (161.7 cm) 5’3.6″, and her weight to be roughly (44.9 kg) 99 pounds.

“On average, female celebrities weigh about 45kg (~100 pounds),” she said. “I want to now say that I too have the figure of a celebrity.”
