she’s also super self aware of the cycle that shes stuck in. she talked about it on knowing bros (im pretty sure) how her fans would know when apink was getting ready for a comeback when bomi was suddenly starting to lose weight. its upsetting to see, i hope shes able to find a balanced diet and mindset that she can maintain without straining her body so much.

18:07 thats actually so sweet how Eunji was telling Bomi to eat and that she would look fine in the photoshoot

Honestly it's really concerning that now everyone also said that Bomi's weight is like a countdown to APINK's comeback. And I love Bomi's body in Dumhdurum era, she looks healthy

Something I notice about companies putting idols on strict diets is that often times some idols develop a unhealthy relationship with food

I actually gasped when I saw her in this new comeback... poor Bomi :(

I think Bomi's struggle with dieting is one a lot of people can relate to or experience at some point, especially when your body is your job. At the beginning it's great, because she could get super thin for a short while when promoting then eat like crazy on hiatus and just starve temporarily a few times a year to lose it again. But now the consequences are catching up, starting with her Atopic Dermatitis condition. The more you binge then restrict, the hungrier you get over time and Bomi is also starting to face that uncontrollable hunger causing some uncomfortable mukbang binges.

A lot first and second gen groups were stuck in such a vicious cycle where dieting was promoted really unhealthily, and there was no one to tell them otherwise - it was brought up in various variety shows and contents. I'm glad that it's gotten a little better now, but it's still a problem.

To anyone who wants to lose weight: please, take it slow and still enjoy food / life. I know it can be hard to accept, but getting rid of years worth of weight can't be done successfully in a short period of time. I relate so much to Bomi. I managed to gain around 5kg in four weeks because of crash dieting. You're going to be miserable if you try to lose weight like this and you'll also be in a lot of bodily pain. The miserable feeling will just make you want to eat because you're sad. When you're happy and healthy, you're more likely to do things right. I spent years yo-yoing and it has negatively impacted my body. You don't have to be underweight to be beautiful. Muscle and a little extra fat can make you look even more beautiful. You'll also feel stronger and more energetic. Life is too short. Don't spend your life worrying about losing weight ASAP and being scared of food. Tomorrow will still come. So will next year. Take any weight loss slowly, and you'll be much more likely to succeed in keeping it off. Weight loss is about lifestyle; it's not like a medicine you take for a period of time. If you go back to what you did after losing weight, you'll just get stuck in a cycle. Life is about moderation.

You would think that after being an Idol for so long and having build a loyal fanbase they would be able to focus less on their diet and find a more consistant way to stay in shape... but it suprised me to see them, especially Hayoung and Bomi, that thin again 😟

I knew Bomi would yo-yo diet. She even talked about how her health was not good because of it. I remember she mentioned it on Hello Counselor before. It’s so sad because all the girls are so pretty and they exercise enough as it is with all the long dance practices they have. They need to have proper meals and especially when they were young they were still growing so they should of eaten more than what was given. I just pray all the girls are healthy and have a healthy relationship with food. No matter what us fans and non fans alike support them and just want them to be happy and healthy.

Bomi seems funny but who know her extremely serious and professional person

The fact she has been so transparent about the juice diet was like she was telling ppl it isn't worth it but it's jyst what she has to do to keep her job

this whole idea of losing weight before a comeback and gain it all again after it's so bad. i hope she realizes it soon :(

Could you please make a video on IRENE's sudden weightloss? She's visibly lost alot of weight during the Queendom era due to her scandal. I love your videos ❤

I definitely noticed hayoung’s weight loss but i didn’t really notice bomi’s until now…i hope she knows we will support her no matter what and that she deserves the whole world :D

In 2018 and 2019 she looked good I think she should focus on maintaining that weight as it’ll be more sustainable than trying to maintain being underweight.

I relate to this ENTIRE video heavily. Since I started highschool, I used to be in a very dangerous mindset of crash-dieting and binge. It only got worst with school making me feel depressed and worthless, an the height (at this time) of which my mother was very abusive and treated me like utter garbage so food was a comfort but I always felt bad about how much I ate. It was a constant cycle and it was hard to stop. I was…15 when this all started and I’ll be 18 in about 2 weeks. Seriously, people, get help if you can. This sort of thing can be very detrimental to your health. Nobody is going to tell you “well do these three things and you won’t binge anymore”. It’s never that simple. This can manifest itself into an ED. I’m currently still battling this but I took it upon myself to approach food in a different manner. I also show myself lots of self-love and support. Anytime a negative thought pops into my head about food or how much I’m eating. I pause an ask myself “Why am I thinking like this?” An most of the time it’s because of how I FEEL when I’ve had an excessive amount. Regardless I tell myself “Your human. It’s okay to not be perfect. You are beautiful regardless of the way you look. Beauty extends so much more beyond how you look”. And no, telling yourself this doesn’t mean you’ll AUTOMATICALLY believe it. The point is to take baby steps with yourself. Treat yourself well and don’t beat yourself up because your not making the progress as quick as you’d like to see. We all have different bodies and our bodies all work differently. Why be mean to yourself when your deserving of so much love? I’ve found that, not even on a food level but on a personal level, resolving all the trauma and emotions that’s built up over time and letting them go was something that helps me improve and find passion for getting better. None of this was easy. It’s a big struggle. You break down some days, you give in some days and that’s okay. I remember crying because food was all I could ever think about, even though I wanted to binge and I wasn’t hungry at all! But change is never easy and it can be met with some resistance, but never give up. Keep striving. Keep pushing. Set healthy, achievable goals one day at a time. Rome wasn’t built in a day. Surround yourself with positive people. Listen to positive, empowering messages. LOVE WHO YOUR ARE BECAUSE YOU ARE YOU, AND YOU IS PRETTY FREAKING AWESOME.

As someone who's not really a pink panda but watches apink mv and music shows perfs(cuz they are bop) i never knew bomi yo-yos & do crash diets , i thought she is naturally skinny , this is so shocking and sad .. also, im really curious why they had to starve , i mean i know most people & even myself eat 3times a day(with rice) don't really gain weight, just maintains and even loose some sometimes. There are also times i binge / eat lots of snacks(even midnight snacks) i gain about 1-2kgs but its not really visible.. esp with idols they dance&perform alot so don't they naturally loose weight ?

I know there's a lot of request comments but I just want to say don't feel too pressured to do them if you don't want to, and I wanted to say thanks I have been watching your channel for a while and it's really helped me. I really look forward to your videos, they're very informative and thorough. 🙂

Why do people associate healthy food with bland food 😭😭😭😭

i always wonder why these idols take so much supplements. a female idol (i don’t remember who) takes 25 pills(?) daily and i was like wtf? then i realized they starve themselves so they need nutrients from somewhere else.

Glad I'm not the only one who noticed how thin she looks lately.

I just finished your video and I loved it! Thank you for all the work you put into your videos. I can tell that you do a lot of research, and I always enjoy watching them. Keep up the great work!

the video around 17:55 with the person filming telling her it'll be alright and to eat more as she probably mentally worked out the calories of each food and verbally spoke about how much of what she could eat broke me. i was doing yo-yo dieting and ended up with really bad heart issues, then months later in a psych ward. ive had so many moments where i spoke out loud as i got food how much of what i should eat with someone saying in the background "no youll be okay, its just food, honey!" my mind would translate those kind words as something that grated against my heart, i knew they were right but mentally i was so stuck on the habit that i just *couldn't* let them comfort me. it was like i *had* to restrict. its only been three years since this all started for me and my skin already has lost elasticity, ive lost teeth, am going to have to get more teeth removed. i am 21 years old. this video should be taken as a lesson to love your body and please give it the nutrients it deserves because it just wants to keep you moving and more importantly ALIVE. in the past, i didnt care because i didnt even want to stay alive. im sure she wants to get out of this path one day and i really hope she does. its torturous on your mind and body and we all deserve better than to feel guilty and ashamed if we eat just a little bit more rice. everyone please eat well and talk to your loved ones about how youre feeling and trust that they care about you, because they do.

Although is probably wasn't intentional, saying that someone lost weight and then saying she "became" so pretty because of it, insinuates that you can only be pretty when you're really thin. So sad that's how it is because living life worrying about if or when you'll eat is so nerve wrecking. I know because I had Ana half of my high school experience, with that it was accompanied by body dysmorphia, anxiety, and depression😭 ps. I'm okay now☺️ love myself and have a good self esteem but it took a lot of therapy😂😂

id like to kindly request if you could please do a video on wonyoung or chengxiao. chengxiao lost a lot of weight and has spoken about her method of dieting, and "fans" and directors shaming her being "too fat" and asking her to lose weight (this was after she first lost weight after her first few dramas) and becoming extremely thin. shes probably the thinnst ive seen her right now.

Translation correction for 4:56 Q: Which era do you think was your best? Bomi: No No No, because back then I really lost a lot of weight. Even to the point where I felt like I shouldn't lose any more.

I just wanna say thank you for uploading these videos. They help me so so much

It’s quite shocking she was always very thin even when she gained weight. Usually idols who yo yo diet gain a lot of weight at least couple of times and look clearly bigger.

Whenever I watch your videos I always get suprised with questions gg members and female kpop idols get from MCs. I will be honest it always makes me uncomfortable I can only imagine how hard it's for them!

This has nothing to do with Bomi specifically, I was just watching a bunch of these on this channel (which has been pretty interesting and eye opening) and noticed something and I'm honestly curious. What I don't get is why these idols are never taught like proper nutrition and health. They always seem to be crash dieting like a month before they need to do a comeback, like what are they doing the rest of the time? They should be eating healthily and exercising regularly so that there doesn't need to a "crash" just a few weeks before, sure they could potentially still cut back a little during this time if they want but it wouldn't have to be to the point where this yo-yo effect starts happening. Also, if they actually exercised regularly, you would gain some muscle and muscle as we all know is more dense then fat and also helps with burning more calories. So even if they are to be too busy like 3 months of the year for a comeback, the good eating habits and muscle you gained from the rest of the year should be good to maintain or to the extent that you don't need to go overboard even if you may not be eating so clean or have time to exercise properly for the times you are super busy. And honestly, 30 min a day of exercise is probably enough and does good for the mind as well. Again this is not an attack on Bomi or even other idols, honestly, I think the fault is more on the companies/industry for enforcing such strict visual standards and instilling this toxic mindset into these idols from such a young age and also crazy "fans" who jump boat the minute someone gains a bit of weight.

It seems like she's addicted to the feeling of (extreme) weight loss. She wants to experience it over and over again.

Waiting for hayoung … she does looked tiny during the recent comeback ;(

I like Bomi no matter her size, she should know we love her for her personality most.

Yeah I remember how crazy skinny she was back in 2016 with Only one !

She's my bias🥺 I hope she will have a healthy relationship with food in the future.. I'm worried about her and other idols 💔

Oh my god...watching the opening makes me cry, i immediately remember the first time i watch apink news and saw that scene and now i'm seeing it again....

Not the company basically telling them “you should feel thankful that we’re instilling eating disorder behaviours into you now.” 💀

Definitely one of the downsides of kpop, the female idols extreme dieting when they don't need to/are naturally slim. It's sad the agencies push this, they should provide proper food/nutrition. Such a beautiful woman, who didn't deserve this kind of pressure.

I have such a fondess for Apink, and I already knew Bomi had a serious problem with dieting, but seeing it laid out like this makes me really sad

She looked so malnourished this comeback i was really worried for her

Thank you i was waiting for u

It was funny to read the hate comments about her sharing her diet. The only reason she has to diet in the first place is because of those irrational fans, she shows how she does it and then they still slander her for it, if she didn't they would all tell her to diet but when she does they aren't happy about it. Honestly this is the part of kpop I hate the most. Fans wouldn't be satisfied with their idols having a healthy weight, because they'd look fat, but if the are too slim is bad too, you just can't make them happy.

I am greatly saddened that these girls define beauty as one who has the thinnest figure. The weight fluctuations Bomi endured is not healthy, and should NEVER be encouraged, especially by those closest to her. I am not at all shaming the girls, as it was their managers who abused them into thinking starving themselves is the best look for them. And yes, I say starve because these girls were definitely not consuming enough calories for their growing bodies, and weigh much less than they should for their age and height. This is cruelty, and I’m extremely upset with the management for not teaching these girls how to respect and care for their bodies. They’re beautiful and so so talented. Weight should not be a focus in the entertainment industry. The health and wellness of the idols should be top priority. I hope one day they can find balance, have a good relationship with food, and attain self confidence. Much love and take care❤️

I have never understood what koreans consider fat This is not fat at all

보미야ㅠㅠㅠㅠ행복했으면 좋겠어 다이어트 너무 힘들어서 슬프다...

18:22 lmao, imagine Eun Ji scolding you that way

Ngl the netizens were sorta right with this one. Speaking about the dangers of quick starvation diets but then she keeps doing them. I doubt she uses any of those diet snacks she endorsed. Her solution to her changing body type? Lose more weight.. Maybe she's so used to doing this that she's willing to tolerate the consequences. When Bomi retires as an idol I think she'll just overall be heavier. Unless she tries to get more into acting, but you can't yoyo within weeks cuz filming can go for months and they want the actors to look the same for the show.

Didn’t Bomi say that everyone knew when APink was making a comeback because she would lose weight…

It’s so sad no idols look for long term habit changes. They all want that short term fix for a comeback. Companies need proper nutritionists.

When I first saw her fancam pop up on my recommendation I didn’t even recognize her.

Its so sad that even when she was in her “biggest” state, it was still so skinny. Imagine how it looks on irl. These are humans not puppets. Im so sorry.

Please do on ryujin's sudden weightloss for mafia in the morning and loco....

Bomi looks so beautiful before and after wonderful princess she is my bias 💕😍😀💘😘💓

The way I gasped when you showed her in the latest comeback

It's a sad reality that the job of an idol requires her to be super slim. I think she looked totally fine, slim and fresh with a bit more weight before their 2022 comeback. Her current figure seems way too slim, but that's probably what Korea market likes? Dunno..

To a great extent the fans are the ones who create the climate for this. We are the ones who fat shame them when they are at what would be considered a medically sound, normal, healthy weight. The companies pressure them and they pressure themselves to give the fans the bodies that they want to see, otherwise no success will come and they will be ridiculed.

kindly do any of the 4th gen groups. ITZY,STAYC,NMIXX,KEP1ER,EVERGLOW,G-IDLE,IVE ETC. any members of the 4th gens. thank you🥰❤️

3:57 Quite surprised that they got (for once) a healthy diet plan. This is really good!

Bomi look so stunning before debut and after debut 😽😼😻💚💙💚😻

One thing I did notice, is that all the members were pretty slim for the Dilemma comeback

i hope bomi adopts a better diet soon or when/if she retires from the industry, she adopts a healthy eating style and can gradually recover. bomi look beautiful with weight on too!!!!

Good luck to her. It's always hard to maintain the body you like.

Omg apink luv!!! I remember i didnt care much about girlgroups but LUV was so addicting to listen

omg, i've been binge watching your videos for a few days now and yesterday I literally thought that you should do a vid about Bomi because I remember her talking about her weight. ivgudikcb

El cuerpo de bomi siempre me pareció bonito,espero que tantas dietas no causen más daño

I feel the pressure :( its really toxic: loosing harshly weight for a comeback and then gaining it again :(

Sad to see her struggle with her weight. Bomi is my fave member. She is always so cheerful and random.🙁

I really love you bomi 😺💜🔥😗😻💜

Can't believe she went through this 😢 for s0 many years 😢 😳

Oh bias 😗😎💛🔥

This was so sad to watch, there was a certain point where Bomi seemed to have a healthy relationship with food but then that relationship didn’t stay. I really hope the cycle she’s in will end soon.

one of the first idols of being honest about diet and proving how it's IMPOSSIBLE lose 10kg in 1 month being healthy

Knetz love to body shame and insult idols when they gain weight, but if they start dieting and lose some weight they also get pissed about idols talking about what they eat when they diet... Like at this point y'all would get mad and every single thing idols would do, I bet they get pissed if idols walk bc it's dangerous cause cars could fucking hit you 😭

They sure work very hard!

Tbh if weight is such an unskippable issue in the industry, introduce weight lifting. It has zero backsides unlike dieting and doesn't tire you out rather helps you lose weight for a frame of 36hrs next unlike cardio like dancing or running. Weightlifting is literally the way to go. Everybody knows sustainable fitness comes from exercising and building muscle. Especially not dieting. I wish kpop insiders really wanting their idols to lose weight could care for them enough to introduce healthy ways of administering it.

Pretty ❤❤

I just want to say your videos help me a lot. They show that people who diet constantly are never satisfied with how they look and have trouble loving themselves(like Park Boram), while those who enjoy eating healthy in moderation are happy and lively (like SNSD’s Seohyun). They have inspired me to gain some weight back. I have struggled with anorexia for years. I’m cold all the time, no period, disordered thoughts. I never really had a motivation to recover until I learned from your videos that a healthy relationship with food and exercise makes a person happy. I realized that I too deserve happiness, and for that reason I will work towards a happy and healthy body and mind instead of just being as thin as possible. (I know someone else made a similar comment on one of your older videos just like this too) So again, thank you.

Can you make a video about Wonyoung, former IZ*ONE member and currently an IVE member? Many people are worried about her weight loss, especially considering she’s very young

I didn't know Apink before I heard about Bomi weight lost, I hope she will be able to have a healthy relationship with food one day, she is really putting her health and body in danger. And what about the others members ? On the begining they were all on diet, so I think they're maybe struggling too ?

Can you do Wonyoung from IVE??? :o

this is so sad ,i love her so much and i really dont want her to be sick in the long run

"you should feel thankful that we're forcing you to diet now. You'll want to diet yourself later on" what an absolutely disgusting thing to say. "we're giving you an eating disorder now so you can stay thin later on" is what they really said.

The diet doesn’t sound that bad. They get vitamins, calories, carbs. Small potions naturally shrink your stomach. But heavy cardio is going to require more calories.

These managers and the way these industries work, it’s detrimental to idols/trainees/and in general, to the mental and physical health. This causes EDs. I hope they all get better, it’s so tough and sad. :(((

Can you please do Choi Chanhee? he lost so much weight this year and he sits at a 16 BMI which it's insanely low considering his age and insane schedule.

I love how down to earth Bomi is and how she enjoys the simple things in life. what body type does Bomi have? is she a mesomorph?

TWICE JIHYO UPDATE PLEASEEEE🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍🤍

Hayoung Apink next episode plz

I actually want to get smaller because of my height. I need to try the diet . But she’s pretty both ways

I always winder how they don’t get really bad ulcers when they do stuff like those juice diets

Can you do one for Apink Hayoung too please

This whole vid was just… sad. Poor Bomi :(

i need 2013 bomi back😭 no i need 2013&14 Apink back

the fact that she still didnt find a balance and cycle of eating healthy with some snacks here and there and work out...is concerning. i hope she find the right balance to be healthy.

I almost cried when I saw the "lunch" menu: sweet potato, corn or banana? Where the hell is the protein?

I'm so sconflicted because I can't help but think that we're to blame when this type of stuff happens or keeps happening because we as fans tend to praise them for losing weight. We say look how pretty you've gotten so it's just reinforcing this dangerous behaviour. Obviously we can't shame or berate them .. do we just not say anything ? Do we just not comment on people's bodies?? How do we stop this

Holy shit, I didn't know her weight was such a controversy. WTF?

I love bomi gaun Wright her face look more young

What are carboxy shots I see them in a lot of these videos
