Soyou, a former member of the popular idol group SISTAR, has revealed the harsh diet management method she used to maintain her body in the early days of her debut.

On May 23rd, MBN's 'Success, Not Hocance' aired a scene where Soyou had a meal with her hotel roommate, actress Ye Ji Won.

While we were having a conversation to get to know each other more closely, Ye Ji Won asked Soyou if she had been on the scale and kept checking her weight when she was active as an idol.

After answering yes, Soyou said that SISTAR received a lot of love for their healthy image, but in fact, at the beginning of their debut, they were really skinny.

She confessed his grievances, saying that while she was hiding in the bathroom and eating a small pill, he got caught by the representative of his agency and scolded him.

Soyou said that at the beginning of her debut, she maintained a height of 168cm and 49kg, and in the diet diary provided by the company, she recorded everything from eating a spoonful of rice to a side dish by writing the letter 'Bareuljeong'.

When Ye Ji Won heard SISTAR's weight management method, she covered her mouth and was shocked, saying, "It's really too much."

Soyou said that after the early days of their debut, SISTAR started to make their body healthy, and since then, they have been loved by the public.

Meanwhile, Soyou runs a YouTube channel called 'Soyugi' and teaches her subscribers diet secrets.

Soyou, who still maintains a perfect body, is receiving a lot of love by introducing various exercise methods and 'Gumtem' for weight management.

Actress Kang Ye Won got emotional as she opened up about why she took a break from broadcasting and why she’s finally giving love a chance.

On the March 3 episode of tvN STORY’s Can I Love Now?, Kang Ye Won made her debut as a new participant looking for romance.

During the broadcast, she revealed that negative online comments had deeply affected her. "I used to cry all the time reading comments. I get hurt easily. What might be a small wound for others feels like a huge blow to me," she shared, expressing the stress she faced from malicious remarks.

She also admitted that at one point, she wanted to leave everything behind. "I kept thinking, ‘How long do I have to keep working this hard?’ and it became overwhelming."

She added, "At one point, I thought, ‘I should just quit everything and move to the countryside,’ and that idea actually gave me peace," she confessed.

When it came to dating, Kang Ye Won shared that she had always been content watching others fall in love.

"It never worked out for me. I wasn’t the type to ask for introductions either. I just found comfort in living as an observer. Maybe it’s my fate. I’m fearful, and I lack courage. If I feel like someone might hurt me, I block them out from the start," she admitted.

However, the actress revealed that she ultimately joined Can I Love Now? for her father. "My dad was born in 1943. He had me late in life, and his health isn’t great."

She added, "I realized that if I continue living alone like this, I won’t be able to give my parents any hope until the moment they pass away," she said with tears in her eyes. "My perspective on life has changed. I no longer think just about myself, but about my parents."

Kang Ye Won’s heartfelt confession touched many viewers, leaving fans rooting for her to find happiness.
