[theqoo] Reality of Idol's Diet, shared personally by female Idols

(T/n: the whole post is a screensho so I'll translate the text)

Recently, Loossemble's Yeojin and Vivi had a livestream with their fans

They were talking about a diet story that happened

"- There was a time when we were working hard to diet
- and they threw away all~ the food in our refrigerator
- do you remember unnie?
- for example, I ate an hamburger back then
- I ate it 1 month prior (to the event in story)
- but they found the receipt of that hamburger in an outfit I wasn't wearing
- but that was the start of HELL
- they yelled "everyone come out!"
- and took everything out of our povkets
- and they threw everything inside our fridge, even the sugar and salt
- vitamins and red ginseng... everything that could be eaten (were all thrown away)
- (we could only eat) 2 eggs and half of an apple per day"

Wow.... seriously, seeing this makes me realize that not everyone can become idols

Ah by the way, Loossemble is a group consisted of LOONA's Hyunjin, Vivi, Yeojin, Gowon and Hyejoo who redebuted

1. Back then, kids just needed to be skinny but now, they need to look both skinny and healthyㅋ if someone is skinny but has no muscles, people will start to nitpick again

2. No matter how little you eat, eating 2 eggs and half an apple is way too oba?

3. How can someone even survive eating like that?

4. Why would they even throw away things like vitamins and red ginseng?

5. They already eat so little but they are even throwing away their supplements??

6. Yeojin said that she was 151 cm and weighted 33 kg...ㅠㅠ

7. Shouldn't they make sure to eat supplements though? ㅜㅜ

8. And they have to work so hard to dance. This doesn't make sense

9. If they eat this little, they will still get the yo-yo effect...

10. I think that their case was pretty severe. It's not as bad nowadays

Quote from Selynn

It is not enough for a normal human body with 2 eggs and half an apple. As far as I've seen, most of the idols lose their hair due to lack of vitamins and protein and get sick quickly. I'm sure most idols follow such a strict diet because most idols get sick all the time during their promotions. It is normal for their bodies to get sick quickly with malnutrition and lack of sleep.

I actually think that all bad things happen before they start to attend music shows

for example they go on diet, eat much less than they should during the hardest time when they train choreo, sometimes they dehydrate and cut calories even before filming MV

so even before the time to attend schedule comes they are already probably feeling like vampire just suck half of their blood and energy out...
