MAMAMOO’s Hwasa recently admitted to anorexia on the show Body Documentary. Known for her healthy body, she revealed that she once went through dark times too.
Back when she was a trainee, she experienced anorexia.
I didn’t eat anything back then, because it was a period where I had to work hard, and I didn’t know what the right thing to do was. Everyone was saying that, and that I had to do that to debut. On the day that we weighed ourself, all the members went to the pharmacy and got medicine to clear our insides (diuretics). We would empty it all out, then weigh ourselves.

She also confessed that she had once been craving for some injeolmi, but had to eat it in secret. After the sudden spike in sugar, she ended up being dizzy. She felt stressed, angry, and guilty all at once, and ended up going to throw it up. Hwasa claimed that this was how she ended up being anorexic.
Hwasa is now one of K-Pop’s advocates for healthy bodies! We’re proud to see her come this far.
