In order to have a slim body as desired, many Korean idols have had to follow extremely harsh and unsafe diets.
The menus and dietary methods of Kpop stars bring a clear weight loss effect, but in some cases lack of science. Here are the weight loss methods of the top 5 Korean idols that make everyone “shake their head” after listening to them because they are too austere and harmful to their health.
TOP (BIGBANG) When he auditioned for YG Entertainment, TOP weighed up to 100kg and he was rejected because he was too big. To lose weight quickly, the rapper of BIGBANG only eats Yanggeang – a jelly made from red beans. Not only that, TOP also completely cut down on starch, sugar, and fat and even drank only filtered water to forget the feeling of hunger. 
The extreme diet helped TOP lose 20kg in 4 weeks. Sharing his feelings about his arduous weight loss process, the male rapper said he would never try again. (Photo: Internet)

The “national sister” revealed that she only ate 1 apple, 2 sweet potatoes and 1 cup of protein water to lose weight. However, IU also said that she only follows this type of diet every time she returns to the stage, but does not always apply it regularly.

Fortunately, IU has understood the harmful effects of constantly dieting like this, so she does not apply it often.

Heechul’s girlfriend shared, she only took 1 ice instead of eating and not only that, she was so obsessed that she thought this would make her gain weight. However, now, Momo is no longer forcing herself to diet like this. She regularly exercises and eats sensibly without worrying about her weight.

However, the male singer revealed that he has an extremely strict diet. On a past reality show, Jin revealed, “ I diet constantly. I only ate two pieces of chicken breast each meal and for a year, I survived on two meals a day “. 
Although it is not easy to gain weight, Jin still has an extremely strict diet.

Jimin admitted to having “starved to death” for many days just because he wanted to have a slimmer and slimmer body. I thought the male idol only ate 1 meal a day or 1 meal a day, but he fasted and only ate 1 meal in 10 days. 
Fans couldn’t help but worry about Jimin’s health during the time he was practicing choreography while fasting. However, the male idol himself also said that he will never go on a diet like that again. (Photo: Internet)
