Taiwanese singer and actress Selina Ren has drawn criticism online for her appearance after giving birth to her son, Xiao Yaoguo. Despite focusing on family and motherhood, some netizens have commented negatively on her post-partum weight.

Veteran media personality Dee Chih-wei strongly defended Ren, expressing anger at the online criticism. "Just mind your own business!" he wrote on Facebook, questioning why people were commenting on her weight. He argued that it is unreasonable to expect celebrities, especially those in their 40s who have recently given birth, to immediately return to a pre-pregnancy or youthful physique.

Just mind your own business!

Actress Chung Hsin-ling echoed this sentiment, offering her support to Ren. "Selina looks super beautiful," Chung stated, emphasizing that Ren's happiness and well-being after overcoming past personal struggles, including a severe burn injury and a divorce, should be the focus.

Chih-wei further asserted that body image is a personal matter. He believes that as long as an individual is healthy, comfortable, and happy, they should not have to justify their appearance to anyone. He stressed that physical changes due to childbirth and aging are natural and should be accepted.

Selina looks super beautiful.
