She showed concern for her well-being.
Iconic second-generation girl group Crayon Pop’s member Way recently called out HyunA’s rapid weight loss, expressing her concern over her well-being.
She mentioned HyunA in a video titled “Why K-Pop Diets Fail + How To Succeed,” posted on her YouTube channel on November 5, KST. The idol offered a detailed explanation of why the extreme dieting culture is often unsuccessful in the long run and referenced several idols by name in the process.
Way brought up HyunA, who recently garnered quite the attention after posting her drastic weight loss update on social media. Last month, the idol had made a concerning post, berating herself for gaining weight and vowing to become “bone skinny” again. Then, on November 4, the idol revealed that she had lost a whopping 10 kg, now weighing only 49kg.
HyunA Shows Off Changed Appearance Following Criticism And Massive Weight Loss
Way expressed sincere concern over HyunA’s rapid weight loss and her approach toward the whole process.
Hasn’t HyunA gained a bit of weight lately? I saw her Instagram post where she said, ‘You used to be skin and bones,’ blaming herself, and I felt really sorry for her. It’s good if she’s decided to go on a healthy diet, but she also wrote, ‘I ate a lot of crap.’ Of course, eating is fine. But why use such words?

She continued, “That’s a reward-punishment mindset. It means she’s planning to starve herself again. When that happens, the yo-yo effect will come back.” Way also emphasized that starvation becomes an ineffective method of weight loss with age. “It only increases the likelihood of becoming ‘skinny fat.’”
Way also pointed out the problems with other idols’ quick weight loss procedures, including WJSN’s Dayoung, who recently lost 12 kg for her solo debut.
The Crayon Pop member explained that her first-hand experience with starvation diets has shown a decreasing effect with time. Instead, she now eats well, which gives her more energy to work and exercise better. “Being mentally healthy leads to better work as well. It’s a positive cycle,” she concluded.
