On the May 22 episode, Hyorin revealed that her label Starship Entertainment had strict weight regulations, especially when she was a trainee.
She explained, "I was 6-7kg (13-15lbs) lighter during the time I debuted. Back then, they checked everything I ate and my weight every day. I was afraid that I might weigh more if I drink water so I often didn't drink water and waited."

Hyorin also revealed that she gained a greater appetite after she started working in the entertainment industry. She said, "They forced me not to eat when I was a trainee and I'm the type who wants to do it even more if someone tells me not to. They told me not to eat so then my desires to eat grew stronger. That led to a strange sense of damage and I've got a greater appetite."

That is the dumbest shit I've ever heard. Its amazing how bad the knowledge of health, weight loss and diets are in Korea considering they "claim" they're always doing it and struggling with it. If you didn't know, water has the caloric value of 0. And for water retention, your body will store water from other sources anyways depending on the food you eat.

i think the idea of what is the "ideal weight for idols" need to change. We as fans, should not be happy when we see celebrities with "Ant waist" and 20" waist. its not normal. reminds me of the recent Weekly idol, where they measured Momo and Tzuyu's waist to try and break the 17.5" record, it just makes it look like Momo's 22" is "fatter" in comparison, when 22" is already very very slim. Instead of comparing waists and weight, i think every celebrity, Singer or actor, should go for a annual FULL health check and be proud of it, IF it shows a clean bill of health rather than aim or things like super slim and such. if the health check detects some abnormalities then its a good chance to do something about it early. Early detection saves lifes.
