ITZY’s Chaeryeong, widely known for her slim and well-maintained figure, is drawing attention after revealing her unusual approach to dieting and food choices.
Instead of following strict diet rules, her comments about what she eats — and what she avoids — have sparked curiosity, especially given her consistently lean physique.
On Hyeri’s YouTube channel, Chaeryeong appeared as a guest and was seen reacting to a table filled with dishes like chicken gizzards, chicken feet, tripe, and fried chicken.
She then shared her personal beliefs about food and weight, saying, “I think meat is food that doesn’t make you gain weight.” She even seems to consider fried chicken diet food!
I even think fried chicken is diet food. Pizza makes you gain weight, but chicken doesn’t.

Despite her slim figure, Chaeryeong explained that she enjoys eating more than people assume.
I’m not someone who eats small portions, but I’ve been completely labeled as a ‘small eater’ image. Among the ITZY members, I actually eat quite a lot.

The ITZY star also revealed how much she avoids carbs.
I can eat two servings of meat but I don’t eat rice. Protein doesn’t make you gain weight, but carbs do.

Her comments have drawn attention largely because of the contrast between her relaxed eating habits and the slim figure she’s consistently known for.
