Recently, a story of SNSD''s Taeyeon being rejected as blood donor has resurfaced and became a hot topic among netizens again. Last year, precisely September 17, 2011 on the KBS program "Love Request", Taeyeon wanted to be a blood donor and met up with a doctor for the blood donation.

However, she was rejected because Taeyeon was underweight. The doctor explained that to be a blood donor, you have to be on the age between 16 years old to 65 years old and you have to alteast have a weight of 50 kg for Men and 45 kg for women, and unfortunately, Taeyeon weighed less that 45 kg. 45 kg is around 99 lbs when converted. Netizens commented, "Thats too bad, so that means IU also cannot donate blood", "So they do have rules to follow, im glad they do not just let anybody donate blood voluntarily", "She's so light, she needs to eat more".
