Yeojin from LOONA shared her way of losing weight that is deemed unsafe and controversial.
LOONA’s Yeojin recently answered a fan’s question on her Instagram story about her pro tip for dieting to lose weight.
The female idol shared a photo of her weight scale, which showed her current weight at 34.2kg, and replied to the fan’s question with a simple answer: “Not eating.”
It’s worth noting that Yeojin’s height is 1.48m. With her weight of 34.2kg, her BMI (Body Mass Index) is 15.6, which is below the normal range of 18.5. Moreover, sharing starvation as a weight loss tip is deemed as unscientific and controversial.
Starvation or extreme dieting is not a recommended way to lose weight, and it can be detrimental to one’s health. While it may lead to temporary weight loss, it can also cause severe damage to the body in the long run.
In the K-pop industry, where there is immense pressure to maintain a certain image and body type, it’s not uncommon for idols to resort to extreme measures to lose weight. However, it’s important to promote healthy weight loss methods and discourage the glorification of starvation.
