"So Yu got this thin?." 10kg or 20kg is commonplace. Stars who have succeeded in extreme dieting, losing up to 30kg, are appearing one after another regardless of gender and age. We looked into the entertainment industry news that is drawing attention for dramatic, gaunt transformations.
Girl group SISTAR member Soyou posted photos along with the single word "FR" on her personal social media on the 5th. The released photos show Soyou traveling in France.
In particular, in the photos Soyou caught attention wearing a so-called "backless" design dress that boldly exposed her back. The daring white dress was striking yet innocent, and Soyou's slender figure from the shoulder line down her back to her waist surprised viewers.
Soyou, known for a healthy sexy concept as a former member of girl group SISTAR, had previously drawn attention for a fit, muscular, healthy-looking body. But after recently revealing she had lost 20kg, she joined the ranks of those with gaunt physiques. It is reported that she lost 20kg over two years through diet control and three hours of daily exercise. After gaining attention for losing weight healthily without anti-obesity injection treatments known as Wegovy or Mounjaro, she added to the surprise with travel photos showing her current condition.
Not only Soyou, but recently the entertainment industry has been drawing daily attention with extreme weight-loss cases. Previously, actress Kim Min-ha also shocked fans by revealing on her personal social media a gaunt appearance with her collarbones and shoulder bones exposed.
Concerns about her health arose, but that was a misunderstanding. Kim Min-ha reportedly rapidly and extremely lost weight for acting after taking on a terminally ill role in Netflix's new film "Let's Make Our Sun."
Regarding this, Kim Min-ha recently said in an interview about the film "Hana Korea," "I lost it over two years. Compared to when I filmed 'Hana Korea,' I lost about 16 to 17kg," adding, "I had a role that required losing a lot of weight, so I lost a lot to match that. Ninety percent of it was for the role, and it was a time when I was wondering how I could show a different side. I lost weight over a long period to maintain both the loss and my stamina," easing fans' worries.
Post-diet changes have attracted attention across genders. Singer Sung Si Kyung recently surprised people by losing 10kg. Given Sung Si Kyung's popularity for 'drinking room' and 'mukbang' content on his personal YouTube channel, the dramatic change was even more shocking. After becoming a cosmetics brand model and shooting fashion magazine pictorials, not only fans but the general public poured intense interest on him.
Sung Si Kyung appeared as a guest on "Tough Bro," a YouTube variety show hosted by his close friend, broadcaster Shin Dong-yeob, and said the reason for his diet was, "If it hadn't been a cosmetics model offer, I wouldn't have done it," adding, "I care about justification. Since it was a good opportunity, I decided to get my body in shape for it. At first I hesitated, but once I start I follow through. I didn't want to be a burden." He revealed that he began serious exercise and diet management on Jan. 4 and lost about 10kg, and joked that he ate 170 flatfish during the process, drawing both laughter and astonishment.
In addition, singer K.WILL lost 14kg, former Jewelry member Seo In Young lost 15kg and showed daily content on YouTube that surprised viewers, comedian Hong Yun-hwa lost a staggering 40kg, and YouTuber Pungja also succeeded in losing 32kg, generating buzz. Diet methods mainly combined diet and exercise, but there are plenty of stars who frankly confessed they also used weight-loss injection treatments such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. The transformed stars' updates are fueling the public's enthusiasm for dieting. <
