Not everyone was a fan of the sexy model, however, as comments she made during an Instagram live pointed towards her having received hate. She clapped back at naysayers, questioning why they would have such high standards for other people.

People call me fat if I don’t lose weight, not attractive if I do lose weight, and that there’s nothing to see if I make the effort to exercise. If you have such high standards, why don’t you do anything to manage your own appearances?

— Kim Woo Hyun

Fans showed her support immediately after this, something she thanked her supporters for.

But what has the model been up to since 2019?
