TWICE's Tzuyu is gaining attention for her healthy and toned physique, which stands out from the "bone-skinny" trend often seen in idols. Bloggers note that her stage outfits highlight her strong waist, back, and lower body lines, suggesting a body built through consistent exercise rather than just being thin. Her tall stature and long limbs already give her good proportions, but her current image emphasizes a balanced and muscular form.
Separately, Tzuyu has recently been embroiled in a political controversy, with reports from Taiwanese media alleging that Chinese entities offered her extensive local activity support conditional on her publicly endorsing the "One China" principle. This proposal, reportedly involving a Taiwanese veteran management figure Zhao Xiaowei connecting with Tzuyu's family, included conditions such as stating "One China" or "Taiwanese are Chinese" for full support in broadcasts, performances, and management. This has stirred significant discussion among K-pop fans, recalling a similar incident from 10 years prior.
Regarding her fitness, Tzuyu herself has revealed that she primarily engages in Pilates and CrossFit. She has practiced Pilates for approximately 7-8 years since her debut, using it for core strength, posture, and body balance, especially beneficial for her long limbs. CrossFit, a more intense regimen, helps her build stamina and overall muscle strength, which is crucial for an idol's demanding stage performances. In response to the political reports, Tzuyu reassured fans via Bubble, stating, "Don't worry too much," while the alleged middleman, Zhao Xiaowei, denied formal cooperation or political conditions but did not deny contact.
