Fans noticed the difference and flooded the comment section, praising her for showcasing strength and loosing it on her own time, despite being trolled. One user wrote, "Doesn't matter, chubby version or slim version, Jeongyeon is still one of the best." Another user wrote, "Transformations? She was always beautiful."

For the unversed, Jeongyeon had faced multiple health issues since 2020 due to anxiety, panic disorder and spinal disc herniation treatment.

She has been managing her health through recovery, consistent exercise, and specialised treatment. Despite returning to activities, she has occasionally sat out concerts to prioritise her health and recovery.
