• Hyeri Shares How She Lost 5kg by Cutting Carbs: "I Didn't Want to Exercise…"

    Hyeri, former Girl's Day member and now a popular actress, recently opened up about her weight loss journey, revealing that she shed 5kg by avoiding carbohydrates.

    On August 16, Hyeri appeared on the YouTube channel '117' in an episode titled "What's Up With You? You Keep Becoming 'Dexon' in Front of Hyeri." During the interview, Hyeri shared some personal stories and insights into her life.

    Hyeri talked about her eating habits, demonstrating a dish made with chicken thigh meat and zucchini. She confessed, "I’m not much of a cook, but I save a lot of recipes from social media. Sometimes, I’m too lazy to cook, and if I crave something like chicken feet, I just can't make it. I usually eat a lot and don’t really know what it feels like to be full."

    She then revealed her method for losing weight: cutting out carbs. "When I was filming 'Victory,' I gained quite a bit of weight, even though my role didn’t require it. When I told the director, he said, ‘I never asked you to do that.’ After filming, I needed to lose the weight, but I didn’t want to exercise."

    Hyeri continued, "So, I stopped eating carbs for five months and lost about 4-5kg. I originally planned to avoid carbs until Christmas Eve, to enjoy champagne with my parents, but I ended up stopping earlier. I was worried people might catch me eating carbs after I said I wouldn’t, so I just quit," she said with a laugh.

    Back in May, Hyeri mentioned on her YouTube channel that she had been off carbs for four months, and after three months, her skin started to improve. She added, "Even on my days off, I indulge, but I never skip my skincare routine when a project is coming up."

  • Kwon Min Ah worries fans with emotional post about fear and self-blame: “Everything feels scary, I need to get it together”

    Former AOA member Kwon Min Ah—who opened up in the past about being bullied—has once again shared a deep and emotional message on social media, leaving fans feeling concerned and sending love.

    On April 23, Min Ah took to her Instagram to write:
    “I don’t know if I’ve become completely twisted, or if I’m just scared. Maybe I’m afraid the same thing will happen again. Everything feels scary. And I want to say something sharp to myself too—get it together.”

    Along with the message, she posted a selfie where she wore a red knit top, had her hair half-up, and showed a soft pout with a calm expression. Though her outfit and style looked casual, the mood of her words felt heavy.

    Fans aren’t sure if Min Ah was directing the message toward someone else or simply speaking to herself. The final line, “get it together,” sounds like a tough love reminder to herself—but also makes many wonder what she’s been going through recently.

    People quickly filled the comment section with supportive messages, telling her to stay strong and reminding her she’s not alone.

    Min Ah debuted with AOA in 2012 and left the group in 2019. In 2020, she made headlines when she revealed that she had been bullied during her time in the group. The confession caused a huge reaction in the K-pop world, leading to conversations about idols’ mental health and group dynamics.

    Recently, she surprised fans when it was revealed she began working as a manager at a dermatology clinic, showing a new side of her life outside of the entertainment spotlight.

    Fans continue to cheer her on, hoping she finds peace and happiness in whatever path she chooses next.
