Ahn Yujin doesn’t fall behind Jang Wonyoung at all, in fact, she might even be better in some ways, but she still doesn’t get called a top-tier visual, and I think it’s because of her neck. For women, more than men, things like neck length, thickness, and whether the trapezius muscles are visible really affect the overall upper body impression, probably even more than skin tone. That’s just how it feels to me these days. (For reference, the X halter neck Jang Wonyoung wore is a style that actually makes the neck look shorter.)
NingNing is probably the most underrated member in aespa. (Nationality aside,) if you just look at her facial features, she had the potential to be called the next Jennie, but instead, people just see her as a downgraded version. All the aespa members have similarly pretty features, but the stark differences in popularity within the group seem to come down to the softness or delicacy of their overall vibe. I think the neck plays a big role in that, and it’s probably one of the reasons NingNing keeps going on extreme diets.
When the neck is mostly covered, the facial features stay the same, but the overall vibe changes completely
I remember being shocked when watching TWICE’s Sixteen before their debut, seeing Tzuyu and Sana in a two-shot made me wonder if Nayeon’s face was unusually large or Tzuyu was nearly disappearing. The difference in body proportions between them was extreme; it’s even more noticeable in the actual broadcast than in that image. But within TWICE, wasn’t Sana or Nayeon always the most popular? Of course, Sana’s face is seriously small.
Even though that unique charm of hers would have stood out more if her face was small too, imagine if that charm came with a thick and short neck? I doubt she’d even have gained any popularity.
When people talk about maximizing femininity, they often only mention hips or chest, but neck matters just as much. Unlike breasts or hips, you can’t surgically adjust or hide your neck as easily

Cut that bullsh*t of ‘women should be this and that’ ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ What’s important for women is also important for men. Do you also go around doing ‘makeup that men love!’ ‘wearing clothing style that men love!’ you boy crazy b*tch? ㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋㅋ

What are you expecting women to do? First it’s about the midface obsession, and now even neck length obsession? Go analyze your own face or body

Don’t act up, if you were really born a woman, go cook some spicy pork for your husband. What matters isn’t neck length; what matters to women is how well your husband’s spicy pork turns out. Instead of fussing over idols’ neck lengths, why not go cook that pork deliciously for your housewife husband?

You were criticizing female idols, grabbing their hair as if innocent, but now you’re mad? If you’re smart enough to get fixated over neck length… wow
