An idol refers to a person who is admired or loved, often in the context of entertainment, a role model or celebrity. In the video, idols are the main subjects who undergo extreme diets to present a certain image on stage, highlighting the pressures they face to conform to societal and industry standards of beauty and performance.

💡Extreme Diets

Extreme diets are eating plans that are very restrictive and often unhealthy, pushing the limits of what is considered a balanced intake of nutrients. The video script mentions several K-pop idols who have followed such diets, such as Apink's Bomi with her 1L of juice and 2L of water regimen, and fromis_9's Jisun who initially did not eat at all and later adopted a Carb Cycling diet.

💡Nutrition Coach

A nutrition coach is a professional who provides guidance and support in achieving dietary goals, often with a focus on health and wellness. Jisun worked with a nutrition coach to adjust her diet, demonstrating the importance of professional guidance in developing a healthy and effective eating plan.

💡Stage Performance

Body image is a person's perception of their own body, which can be influenced by societal standards and personal experiences.

To Martin Poldma who donated for our Karina vs Yujin video, the ( )I-DLE Miyeon video, and our Shuhua video,

and to Robetro Uncle_ who donated for our video on Kpop news stories of Week 1 of July, thank you!

For idols, being on a diet is inevitable.

To show the fans their prettier and cooler sides on stage,

idols endure tough diets,

which makes us admire them and feel bad for them at the same time.

Back in the day, there were some extreme diets of idols that created a lot of buzz,

such as the famous diet of IU,

but idols these days are on different diets.

Let's check out idols who were on extreme diets that don't even seem humanly possible

and how idols these days lose weight these days.

But first, please LIKE, SUBSCRIBE, and turn on the notification.

[An apple and konjac jelly a day]

Do you think you can survive a day eating nothing but an apple in the morning

and some konjac jelly, while working all day?

This diet was OH MY GIRL Seunghee's daily diet when she was promoting a song in the past.

Through a brutal diet, OH MY GIRL's Seunghee is now very skinny,

unlike how she was in the old day.

She said that during OH MY GIRL's 'Windy Day' era,

she got on a diet after being shocked by how she looks on tv.

Back then, she only had 1.5L of water, a half piece of pear, and less than half a handful of chicken breast per day.

She maintained this diet for almost a month and lost about 8kg.

And to maintain her weight, she ate one apple for breakfast despite her extremely busy schedule,

and because she needed to take short naps throughout the day, she filled her stomach with konjac jelly to avoid damage in her stomach.

This diet ended up hurting her health,

so there were times when she wasn't able to participate in certain performances or scheduled activities.

So now, she apparently eats her meals at proper times.

However, she only has half a bowl of rice, so she doesn't gain much weight.

[No carbohydrate for over a year]

Male idols can't avoid extreme diets either.

SHINee's Key apparently cut carbohydrate out of his diet for over a year.

Key doesn't look chubby in old photos of himself as a kid,

but after he got into SM as a trainee, he was apparently called fat for the first time.

So Key tried all kinds of diets, including "Denmark diet", "one-food diet",

diet dosirak(lunch box), detox, and even took a medicine for weight loss.

After trying all these different methods, Key eventually tried cutting carbohydrate!

Since it's too hard to cut carbohydrate completely at once,

he had less and less carbohydrate in his diet over a period of time, and eventually, he had no carbohydrate for over a year.

With this method, he apparently managed to lose about 10kg in the end.

[1L of juice, 2L of water]

There is an idol who is known to be completely different in her active period and inactive period.

It's Apink's Bomi.

In fact, when Bomi looked a bit pretty,

her fans immediately thought, 'Apink's comeback is nearing.'

There isn't a diet that Bomi hasn't tried.

She has tried so many extreme diets!

But as a result, her immune system got weak, so she suffered from serious atopy.

However, after working in the Kpop scene for a long time, Bomi seems to have found a diet that works for her.

When Bomi needs to quickly lose weight for her activity,

she has 500ml of anti-aging juice for breakfast. For lunch, she has 500ml of dietary fiber juice, 2L of water, and various nutritional supplements.

And lastly, she has half a glass of chocolate protein before bed. That's she has in one day.

With this method, Bomi said she lost 2.4kg in a week.

What's important is that following this diet, you need to have little food for a period of time.

After having small amounts of healthy foods like eggs, sweet potatoes, apples for a couple of weeks,

she started to have proper meals and exercise as well.

[Even a few grams matter]

You can see that fromis_9's Jisun has lost tons of weight as well,

compared to how she was in her early debut days.

To have this kind of body, Jisun said she got on an extreme diet and ended up damaging her body.

She said that at first, she did multiple aerobic exercises with an empty stomach and didn't have any food at all.

And when it was too hard to endure, she had just a little bit of protein shake.

But when she continued this diet, she felt that there was something wrong with her body,

so she started watching YouTube videos on nutrition and exercises.

She apparently exercised in a proper way and followed a diet called Carb Cycling.

She had 50g of carbohydrate, 98g of protein, and 15 to 20g of fat.

And yet, she failed to lose weight, so with the help of a nutrition coach,

Jisun changed her diet and worked hard.

I guess it's thanks to this hard work that we got to see

Jisun with a beautiful body in her performance of 'Stay This Way'.

[One meal in 10 days]

BTS's Jimin is also an idol who has lost a lot of weight, compared to his early debut days.

Jimin looked so cute and handsome even before he lost his weight,

but Jimin said that when he was looking in the mirror during a choreo practice for 'Blood Sweat & Tears',

he suddenly wanted to look handsome, so she started a brutal diet.

After all, the no eating strategy was most effective,

so Jimin ate only one meal in the period of about 10 days.

After this diet, Jimin realized that he should never do something like this again.

Apparently, BTS's Jin has been on a brutal diet as well.

For about a year, he had only 2 packs of chicken breast in his diet for about a year and ended up suffering from malnutrition.

It's good to strive for a better-looking performance, but I hope they take good care of their health.

[I was afraid that I might die.]

All of TWICE members now have beautiful bodies!

But to achieve this, TWICE members had to force themselves

to be on dangerously brutal diets before they debuted.

A week before the debut showcase,

JYP told Momo that she couldn't be on stage for the showcase unless she lost 7kg within a week.

At TWICE's debut survival program,

Momo was a member who made a dramatic debut by being brought back from elimination at the last minute.

So Momo, who was desperate for her debut.

didn't eat anything for a week for the showcase performance

and exercised to lose weight.

She was pushing herself too hard to lose weight, so when she went to bed,

she had a scary thought that she might not be able to get up the next day.

The only thing she ate was a piece of ice cube only.

I guess it's a miracle that she managed to do the showcase performance without any serious problem.

Besides Momo, all the other members of TWICE had to manage their weight,

so they even went to a sauna together.

And Sana even passed out while she was pushing herself to sweat too much.

The fact that they were on such worrying diets before their beautiful and fancy debut performance

makes me feel bad for them and root for them even more.

[New diet culture among idols]

However, when you look at idols who debuted recently,

you can see that entertainment labels' policies on diets seem to have changed.

IVE members were seen ordering Mala xiang guo, Guo Barrow, and steak for delivery in the morning,

and aespa members were seen eating ramen, sausage, etc at the Han River.

But they didn't just eat.

Wonyoung skillfully did an advanced Pilates move,

which showed that she had done Pilates for a long time,

and Karina exercised at the gym in the proper posture,

which showed that she had exercised consistently.

Recently, ITZY's Yuna looked so skinny that even her ribs were visible,

which made many fans worry.

But Yuna reassured the fans, saying that she eats well.

Previously, ITZY members have talked about their daily diets.

For lunch, Yuna eats the food she likes, such as beef pasta, a hamburger, or pizza.

For dinner, she said she has chicken breast salad without dressing and manages her weight.

What's important is that she does NOT eat anything past 8pm!

As you can see, she has managed her weight without pushing herself too hard,

but she seems to be getting skinnier, possibly because ITZY's choreo is too hard.

It seems that idols are not trying insane diets in a short period of time like the old days.

Instead, they seem to freely eat what they want to eat, but through consistent exercise and lots of practice,

they're naturally losing weight and staying healthy.

I think it's a good change that encourages the fans to try a healthy diet,

as opposed to making the fans worry by introducing extreme diets.

In order to always show their beautiful sides,

many idols always put themselves on diets, which is tough.

And yet, some malicious commenters and reporters make lots of

negative comments when the idols seem even a tiny bit swollen or heavy due to their condition.

Actually, even before losing weight, most idols aren't even that fat.

ITZY's Ryujin once said,

"It's not that idols must be skinny. It's that when you are skinny, your dance moves look prettier on stage,

and you can wear a wider variety of stage outfits.

I don't think idols are losing weight because they think being skinny is pretty."

For idols who are working hard to show better performances to their fans,

as opposed to trying to fit themselves in a certain standard of beauty,

I hope that people root for them rather than making negative comments.

These have been idols' extreme diets and some recent changes.
