"MZ Wannabe icon" RAY from IVE has revealed a diet reminiscent of hyper-realism during idol activities.
The agency Starship Entertainment recently released a new episode of the YouTube channel "Try to Follow LAY by Celsius Ship" featuring RAY.
In the video, RAY, who activated the self-cam, said, "I want to introduce how I manage my diet during activities," and noted, "In the past, I would drastically reduce my food intake when dieting and tried various things. But I learned that what suits my body is to eat a moderate amount of food, and I don't follow a special diet during activities; I just eat moderately."
RAY also mentioned that eating half an apple is part of her morning routine, stating that due to her busy schedule, she mainly eats while traveling in the car. For lunch on the 1st day, RAY chose Nasi Goreng and ate her food slowly and thoroughly. RAY provided a tip for ordering delivery food, mentioning the importance of looking closely at detailed photos and review pictures. Regarding why she sits in the passenger seat when traveling, she explained, "I like to see the cars passing by and enjoy daydreaming while watching the sunlight."
At the same time, RAY revealed that she mainly has one meal a day during activities. She explained, "When I have comeback activities, I try to have long fasting hours. I enjoy my one meal a day but tend to avoid spicy foods and late-night snacks to prevent swelling. Still, if I'm really hungry, I might have some fruit in the evening." Additionally, on the 2nd day, RAY added her preferred toppings to curry omelet rice, giving a glimpse into her tastes.
On the 3rd day, RAY had a pack of strawberries for lunch and shrimp tum yum pasta for dinner but encountered an issue of excessive appetite on the 4th day. She candidly shared, "I had the tum yum pasta the day before, and I was disappointed I couldn't eat much because I was in activity mode. When I got home, I craved it so badly that I got up in the middle of the night to eat cream bread and tangerines." She also revealed that she had two pieces of muk cham gimbap and tomato juice for lunch, expressing, "Since my music broadcast schedule ends tomorrow, I'm looking forward to being able to eat spicy food without worrying about swelling."
Amid her busy schedule, RAY faced the final music broadcast schedule, stating, "Being busy has reduced my appetite," and solved her meal with a slice of her favorite pizza and strawberry juice. RAY concluded by stating, "I truly captured the reality of being active in the week's meal plan," after revealing her detailed diet over five days.
Meanwhile, RAY shares diverse entertainment every Thursday at 7 p.m. through the YouTube channel "Try to Follow LAY by Celsius Ship." IVE will hold its third fan concert, "IVE SCOUT," on April 5 and 6 at the KSPO Dome (formerly the gymnastics arena) in Olympic Park, which has recorded full sales for all sessions.
