'Single's Inferno5' alumnus and former national track athlete KIM MINJI shared an update on her rapid weight gain-and-loss diet.
On the 9th, a video titled "First 24-hour diet vlog I'm filming (full reveal of making abs)" was uploaded to Kim Minji's YouTube channel.
That day, Kim Minji did a mukbang of premium Korean beef, known as hanwoo silbi gop jjim-dak as a late-night snack. She said, "Because it's summer I really need to diet. My basal metabolic rate is really high but I eat more than my basal metabolic rate. This is bad. I'm gaining weight. I'll eat only this and start dieting tomorrow."
While eating the late-night snack she worried, "Will this make me puffy tomorrow? How many calories is this?" and lamented, "I'll start losing weight tomorrow. After I eat this I'll run and do weights tomorrow anyway. I don't have abs right now. This is bad. I've never been like this so I'm flustered."
The next morning, Kim Minji turned on the camera with a puffy face. She said, "I can't open my eyes. I'm so swollen. I'm going to go work out now. I'll get ready and be back."
She then said, "I've gained so much weight I'll show you my figure," pulled up her T-shirt and, seeing a flat belly with her abs gone, despaired. She blamed herself, saying, "I'm a pig. What is this," and called it "a side fat I've never seen before."
Kim Minji said, "My sides have fattened. I'll lose weight and come back. I really need to lose it," and explained, "I lost some weight because of gastroenteritis, but when I went to Taiwan my appetite returned and I gained quite a bit. Because of that my abs disappeared, so today I'll try a sudden weight gain-and-loss 24-hour abs challenge. When I entered filming for 'Single's Inferno5' I had just come from competing, so my body was in good shape. My muscle mass was high and I weighed 56kg. But when I came home after it ended I was 54kg," describing her state before gaining weight.
After getting ready to go out, Kim Minji said, "I'll go do fasted cardio to reduce swelling," and went out, but heavy rain prevented her from running on the track. She regrettably turned back, saying, "I came out to do fasted cardio but it's raining heavily. I wanted to show you running, but I can't help it. I'll show it during a competition."
She said, "I couldn't work out but I have to eat. I didn't exercise so I came to get protein," and ate a low-calorie healthy meal. She vowed, "I've finished eating and I'll go to the gym. Since I couldn't run, I'll work out harder at the gym."
At the gym, Kim Minji revealed her weight routine and continued strength training. After finishing her workout and checking her figure, she expressed satisfaction, saying, "It went in quite a bit. I don't have a belly but suddenly? What's this? Everyone, exercise. Exercise is the best."
She also did ab exercises after returning home and revealed her 10 personal ab routine moves. After showering she said, "Doesn't the swelling seem to have gone down a bit? If you urgently need to lose weight or reduce swelling, definitely try this once."
Before bed, Kim Minji checked her figure and said, "I'm quite healthier. Do I have abs? I was really thin during 'Single's Inferno5,'" adding, "Doesn't it seem a bit less than this morning?" But unsatisfied, she said, "I did eat a lot recently. Let's do cardio. The 24 hours was a failure. It's because I didn't do cardio. If I had done cardio I think I would have lost more. Next time I'll show a 48-hour or one-week diet."
Meanwhile, Kim Minji gained recognition through the Netflix dating reality show 'Single's Inferno5' and SBS's Shooting Stars. She has been widely loved, earning the nickname 'track Carina' for her looks resembling aespa's Karina.
