WJSN’s Seola has given an unsettling look into an alarming method many idols are using to lose weight.

Seola recently opened up about dieting in a new YouTube video with Studio SLAM. Responding to comments that she’s slimmed down lately, the star revealed some of the common ways idols shed the pounds, and one in particular shocked everyone: “There’s also the method of drinking so much alcohol that you throw up.”

It’s a method that idols actually use a lot.

Seola went on to clarify the approach in more detail, explaining that idols drink a few shots of soju or whiskey on an empty stomach before going to bed, with the aim of drawing excess water out of the body to reduce bloating.

When there’s a photo shoot or music video filming coming up, you starve yourself completely, then before going to sleep, you drink about two shots of soju or strong whiskey and go to bed.
No food goes in, only alcohol, and that alcohol pulls all the water out of your body.

While the end result may make idols look unwell, Seola says that all disappears under makeup and stage lighting.

You become completely emaciated. If you look at your bare face, you’d think something was wrong with you, but once you put on makeup and stand under the lights, you look sharp on camera.

Seola also revealed that another go-to method she’s used herself is “only eating candy and chocolate.” Since the sweet treats are small, Seola says, “your stomach doesn’t stick out.”

Your blood sugar goes up temporarily, so you can get through filming. Otherwise, I just don’t eat at all.

The confession lands amid growing concern at how thin many K-Pop idols are becoming, with several being branded “bone-thin” over the past few months. In response, some stars are now being praised for gaining weight rather than losing it.
