A female K-Pop idol revealed the shocking moment when she hit her highest ever weight in life and the harsh diet story where she even had to give up muscle to overcome it.
On the May 4 broadcast of MBC FM4U‘s Noon Hope Song with Kim Shin Young, SISTAR‘s Soyou, Cravity‘s Hyeongjun and Wonjin appeared as guests.
That day, DJ Kim Shin Young said, “I saw Soyou on Knowing Bros. She used to be the icon of yo-yo dieting, but now she has become a dieting icon. Actually, losing weight from Soyou’s body is even harder.”
Soyou laughed and said, “Many people think I lost weight from a skinny body, but I lost it after hitting my peak weight and being shocked by it.”
Kim Shin Young asked, “She’s decisive. When she decides, she does it. What was your highest weight?” Soyou honestly replied, “It was 68 kg.”
Kim Shin Young, curious, asked Soyou, “Did you have a unique mindset like suddenly deciding one day, ‘From now on, I have to do this’?”
Soyou said, “When I saw my weight, I felt, ‘This is not what a celebrity should be.’ I even had a lot of muscle and was like a muscular pig. So I started losing weight and got stuck around 55~54 kg. But giving up muscle was hard, so I wondered what to do.”
She continued, “At that time, with the release of ‘PDA,’ I covered my whole body, so I thought it would be better to get thinner to fit the clothes well, so I even lost muscle.“
