Soloist Somi Reveals Secret Behind Her 46kg Body

Somi has opened up about how she maintains her figure during comeback season. On August 15, the YouTube channel It’s Moonbyul released an episode featuring Somi, where Somi and MAMAMOO‘s Moonbyul candidly discussed eating habits and diet during promotions.

When asked what food she craves most right now, Somi picked a carrot râpée sandwich. Moonbyul, surprised by the choice, asked if it was even tasty, to which Somi explained that whenever she promotes, she tries to go for foods that are fresh such as salads, vegetables, and the like.

The conversation then turned to diet management while promoting. Somi revealed the secret to her 46kg body. At 172cm, that puts her at a BMI of 15.5 only. It mostly boils down to low appetite induced by busy schedules.

“Honestly, I don’t have much of an appetite during activities. The stage outfits can feel tight, and if I eat too much before performing, I feel heavy on stage. It’s better to feel light. Even after finishing a stage, sometimes I can’t eat properly because I have to rush to the next schedule. And I don’t like eating in the car.”

To make things easier, Somi shared that she recently changed to a car with a built-in table so she could eat more comfortably on the go.

Meanwhile, Somi released her second EP “Chaotic & Confused” on August 11 and is currently promoting its title track “CLOSER.”
