Soyou opens up about losing 20kg, “I didn’t feel like a celebrity”

Singer Soyou opened up about her experience losing 20kg after reaching her highest weight.

on the 4th, Soyou appeared as a guest on radio show “Noon Song of Hope with Kim Shin Young” and showed off her witty talk.

during the broadcast, DJ Kim Shin Young said, “I saw you on ‘Knowing Bros’” adding, “honestly, it feels like it would be hard for you to lose any more weight.”

Soyou responded, “Many people think I lost weight from an already slim body, but I actually hit my highest weight and was shocked, which led me to lose it,” drawing laughter.

she candidly revealed that she once weighed up to 68kg, saying, “When I checked my weight, I thought, ‘this isn’t what a celebrity should be.’ I also naturally have a lot of muscle, so I felt like a ‘muscle chubby’ person,” sharing her struggles.

speaking about her diet process, she added, “as I kept losing weight, I plateaued around 54–55kg. I didn’t want to give up my muscles, but around the time my song ‘PDA’ was released, I had to cover my whole body, and I thought being slimmer would make the outfits look better, so I ended up losing muscle as well.”

Netizens who saw the clip reacted with comments such as, “Soyou’s toned and healthy body is her trademark,” “Her diet story is really motivating,” and “Since summer is coming, everyone’s talking about dieting.”

born in 1991, Soyou debuted in 2010 as a member of the group Sistar. known for their signature sexy concept, sistar gained immense popularity before disbanding in 2017 after seven years. since then, Soyou has continued her career as a solo artist, releasing hit songs like “Stupid in love” and “Some,” showcasing her unique and appealing vocal style.
