She turned away from the path to being fat.

Soyou used to be in SISTAR, which is one of the most famous second-generation K-Pop girl groups.

Recently, she shocked her fans with how much she had changed physically.

Soyou was often praised for her amazing body proportions back when she was promoting with SISTAR. She not only had a great hourglass shape, but her toned muscles also gave her a look of athletic grace.

During the pandemic, though, it was hard for the singer to stay fit and keep her body in shape. Soyou shared with her fans on YouTube in 2021 that she had hit her heaviest weight ever, which was 62.4 kg.

She shared pictures of her body and said that she had been told she had mild obesity.

But when her body changed in a way she hadn't expected, the star was determined to get back to her old shape.

She lost a lot of weight by watching what she ate and going to the gym in just six weeks. She did, however, warn fans that her diet and workout plan were made for her body and that simply following it won't help them.

Her body was changing quickly, and in an editorial in the June issue of Cosmopolitan magazine, she showed off her increased confidence.

But it seems like Soyou didn't stop when she lost the weight she had gained back then. In her most recent Instagram post, the singer posed naked to show off her well-toned abs. She wrote "Just wait until Summer" under it.

Fans were, of course, blown away by her post.

"I'm looking forward ??"
"Those abs are on fire!"
But some people thought that her comment might be a hint at SISTAR's long-awaited comeback. They are still called the "Summer Queens" of Korea, after all.

Soyou is ready to set fire to this Summer, whether it's a hint at new songs or just a celebration of her own body.

IVE is on fire, winning big even when the odds are against them!

On January 30, IVE (Ahn Yujin, Gaeul, Rei, Jang Wonyoung, Liz, and Leeseo) made waves by taking home their fifth music show win with their pre-release song “Rebel Heart.” Despite M Countdown being off the air and replaced with a highlight show, IVE still claimed the top spot for the final week of January.

The show revealed the winner at the end, and to everyone’s surprise, IVE secured their second consecutive #1 victory!

This major achievement marks a historic milestone for the group, reaching five music show wins with just their pre-release track.

Fans, known as DIVE, couldn’t be more excited, and IVE couldn’t be more grateful. In a statement from Starship Entertainment, the group expressed, "It feels like a surprise gift right before our official comeback. We've only had happy moments promoting 'Rebel Heart,' and we're so thankful for this 1st place win."

They went on to add, "Starting from February 3, we will bring even more happiness to DIVE. The title track 'Attitude' we will release then is a song that we all really love, and we hope DIVE will look forward to it."

“Rebel Heart,” released on January 13, is the pre-release track for IVE’s third mini-album IVE EMPATHY, which will drop on February 3. The song has already been making waves on both domestic and international music charts. It continues to perform well on Billboard, landing at 51st on Billboard Global Excl. U.S. and 97th on Billboard Global 200 as of February 1.

But it’s not just chart success that’s getting attention! The “Rebel Heart” dance challenge on TikTok has taken the internet by storm, with the members’ dance challenge videos collectively surpassing 24.96 million views with just two posts.

Additionally, viral challenges like the emoji challenge and the band challenge—where popular Korean bands perform the chorus of “Rebel Heart” in their own style—have sparked enthusiastic responses from fans all over the world.

With their official comeback just around the corner, IVE is poised for even greater success. Get ready for IVE EMPATHY and the double title tracks, including “Attitude,” coming on February 3.
