Following the popular rankings of girl groups by average height, a new chart, recording the average weight of boy groups, has attracted a lot of attention among netizens. The bar graph ranked the boy bands’ average weight from lightest to heaviest. Teen Top was the lightest with 55.1kg (121.5lbs), while 2PM took home the title as the heaviest boy group with 69.1kg (152.3lbs).

The boy groups were ranked in five different categories with amusing labels: Why Do I Live, No Words Needed, A Not So Average Average, The Real Average, and Height and Weight Are Proportional.

Many female netizens were shocked to see that some of their favorite male idols weighed approximately the same as they do. In fact, Teen Top, SHINee, Infinite, ZE:A, Twilight, and FT Island weighed under 60kg (132.3 pounds).

Netizens commented, “[I]Teen Top and I weigh about the same...how sad

It makes sense that 2pm weighs the most since they are so muscly. Still, they are all very skinny in comparison to westerners. Not making a fat reference, just that Westerners tend to have more bulk that isn't necessarily from obesity. :)
the guys from big bang dont look that skinny, except G-dragon. i've had alot of time to look at them lately, they're my current obsession :P

We understand that we need to continuously release albums for us to continue as ShinHwa, but at the same time, we see the necessity of having different venues to communicate with and stay close to the public.
"

He added, "This is not a pilot program. It's a long term project and we think the people we work with is as important as the concept of the show. The staff at JTBC has been very considerate throughout the process of preparing for the show. We trust them and believe in their ability to foster 'ShinHwa Broadcast.'"
