Broadcast on June 19, KBS 2TV's 'Hello Counselor' welcomed A Pink members Bomi and Eunji to the show, and they shared their concerns on excessive dieting.
Bomi commented, "I lost about 8-9 kilograms (17-19 lbs) and then gained it right back after 3 months. My immune system has become weak since then and now I have eczema."
Eunji also mentioned on dieting side effects, "I developed sinus problems for the first time, which led to an ear infection. My tonsils were so swollen, I couldn't sing for a while," talking about the serious consequences of trying to lose weight by skipping meals.

Yeaaaaaaaaaaaaah BUT... Lets be real for a moment. That's YOUR choice. Big part of being a celebrity is also about hitting certain beauty standards. And there's a healthy way of doing it and then there's a shitty way of doing it. You acting like some kinda victim of social pressure is kind bs when YOU decided to diet unhealthily and not manage yourself with healthy lifestyle.

It's so sad that this is a thing but it's so important that idols speak out about the dangers of dieting. It's unhealthy and inhumane - many of the forms of fad dieting.

Thank goodness they revealed such things. People always seem to think skipping meals is the way to go, but being underweight and losing a drastic amount of weight in a couple of days is not normal. It's unhealthy and it brings a lot of dangerous consequences with it too. At least some people are now aware that they have to be careful when losing weight this way.

I'm glad she's talking publicly about how bad crash dieting is for you. There've been several female idols who revealed their slimmer bodies and said something like "All I ate every day was half a piece of chicken and that's it!" like it's a point of pride. It's not something to be proud of, it's extremely unhealthy and potentially dangerous.
