Top Singer Who Lost 33kg Opens Up On How Dieting Ruins Her Career
A top Korean singer revealed how dieting has had a negative impact on her career.
On March 19, a video titled Lee Younghyun? Chatting with a Friend Met After 20 Years was uploaded on YouTube.
In the video, Big Mama‘s Lee Younghyun talked about her recent life with Song Ji Hyo, saying, “I’ve changed a lot. I lost the weight of one elementary school student,” referring to her diet. In fact, she had gained attention for losing 33kg.

However, Lee Younghyun revealed she had given up on the diet. She said, “I was dieting before a performance, but I quit. It was so frustrating. Singing is the only thing I do well, but because of the diet, my singing wasn’t good, so I got really angry.”
She added, “Why am I even losing weight? It’s been two days since I quit dieting out of frustration. Our manager was even giving me hints while picking out clothes for me.”
