This article is only a brief introduction to her video, describing her eager attitude and lovely smile as winning her fans of all genders. The article linked below it describes her rise to popularity in the "Era of the Pudgy Girls," stating that Japanese talents and performers had previously been limited to stylish young women, but larger women are now taking their place as household names. Zukki is a prominent idol fitting into this pudgy category and her diehard fans seem to increasing. 2ch creates threads every time a new photo of her surfaces, including a recent one that obtained over 2000 posts in the span of 4 days. Zukki also appeared in a popular magazine for "Pudgy celebrities you like," which spawned a great debate on the internet. Many people support her, saying that she is fine just how she is, "a symbol of peace," while others vehemently oppose her, saying that she is fat no matter how you look at her and mocking her position in Morning Musume, claiming that despite previous pudgy periods of Abe, Kago, and Yoshizawa, Zukki is the biggest yet.
So, regardless of the debates and hate comments, her popularity is on the rise as a result of her figure.
(edit: beaten, but the info is still useful I believe)
