Girl’s Day‘s Yura has opened up about the struggles she experienced after undergoing major weight changes. During a recent YouTube appearance, Yura reflected on filming Marrying the Mafia: Returns and revealed that her lifestyle at the time caused a dramatic change in her weight.
Busy filmings had caused her to drink alcohol more frequently than usual. It caused her to gain 8kg (17 lbs) in just two months.
“I was basically drinking almost once a day back then. I had been 47kg (103 lbs) for four years, but while filming that movie I gained 8kg (17 lbs) in just two months.”
Her friend Kim Hee Jung pointed out that at 170cm (5 “6), weighing 56kg (123 lbs) would still be considered normal. However, Yura admitted it felt shocking to her personally.
“It was the first time I saw that weight in my life. I had never gone over 54kg (119 lbs) before.”
She then revealed that she quickly tried to lose the weight again. She chose the unhealthy method of starving. But the rapid loss ended up causing unexpected changes.
“After the movie, I hit 56kg because of drinking, and I practically starved myself and immediately went back down to 47kg. I completely stopped drinking and barely ate, and suddenly my cheeks became hollow and I looked much older.”
Yura explained that she eventually decided to gain some weight back and felt better afterward. Despite that, the people around her still expressed concern for her, leading her to reconsider her diet habits.
Yura has always been known for her tall and slim figure, with her legs famously being insured during debut.
