(G)I-DLE's Yuqi shared some tough stories about her trainee days and the strict dieting rules she faced.
On July 12th, a video featuring Yuqi was posted on the YouTube channel '집대성'. In the video, Yuqi talked about how hard it was to diet as a female idol trainee.
She said, "When I was a trainee, we had to weigh ourselves every Saturday. I always felt so sick on those days." Daesung, who was also in the video, felt for her and said, "Weighing yourselves every week? That’s really tough."
Yuqi then mentioned, "Miyeon unnie told me that YG trainees weigh themselves every day." Daesung replied, "We wouldn’t know. It seems like female trainees had it tougher."
Daesung asked, "You must have become an expert at losing weight. What was the most effective method?"
Yuqi answered, "I really became an expert. After eating during Chuseok, I gained a lot of weight. They printed our weights and posted them in front of the office." She explained that everyone could see her weight.
She added, "At that time, seniors like BTOB, Pentagon, and HyunA sunbaenim could see it as they passed by, so I lost 5kg in three days. We had to reach our target weight before they would take the printout down. I still can’t forget that experience."
