Her horrifying eating pattern [Hello Counselor / 2016.11.21]

[@nicoleeeeeeeeebiebs]

not many of the audience thinks this is a worry but it is!!!!!! she needs to see a psychologist before it gets worse

[@GraceUMun]

I think that’s because there are so many eating disorders in Korea... sigh It seems like she knows there’s a problem and wants to change, she just doesn’t know how and needs help with the follow through. I wonder if the show or her fam might have set her up with a nutritionist and/or a personal trainer to help her through?

[@douce7344]

sighnicole for real i really wonder what the fuck is wrong with this audience. when it comes to other concerns they just give a lot of votes just for some attitude problems and when it comes to mental physical health they just don't try to think about how serious and blame the person. Like for the kid that didn't want to school that clearly had depression and was considered as lazy when she clearly had some issues at school and they believe the fake ass classmate. And the guy who attempted suicide because he couldn't be an actor or a singer and was labeled as obsessed and rude. They clearly dont see mental health problems, there are sociopaths, depressed, and bulimic people in this show and they dont fucking care and dont have enough knowledge about such important problems and tell them to adapt to society when how the fuck a person that has mental health problems can do this, this is just gonna ruin them mentally even more.

[@Lily23112]

That's right. Even when you know it's bad for your health, you just can't stop doing it. I've surffered this problem before so I know how dangerous it is.

[@rxie6005]

+douceのこ korea is alittle bit too far back for mental health.. I only discovered mental health issues and connected thier problems through symptoms from westerns too.. Alot of asian countries sucks or give zero fucks about mental health and its sad

[@helloworld-sl2lw]

That's South Korea for you

[@denisedenise3602]

i hate this show bc they never take anything seriously. the other day a girl was obviously depressed but her mom and everybody were laughing at her saying she was just "lazy".

[@kinantifauzinhundra1556]

Hello can u please tell me which ep was it?

[@Jenny-sz7nq]

Denise Nice which episode was it?

[@lolo-vh6xh]

It's because depression isn't taken seriously in korea they say it isn't a mental disorder.

[@QueenJaneway]

Some parts of Korean culture sucks butthole. Food is good but the social culture is terrible

[@downunder211]

This show just uses people's weaknesses and insecurities to make fun of them, especially if the cause is obviously a mental health issue. It's disgusting.

[@heolysuga7375]

A lot of the people that come into this show have serious mental/emotional disorders. They need to seek actual help

[@FallenAngelEnemy]

im hoping that behind the scenes the show will actually point them in the right direction of people to get help from

[@momideloach]

The show does help with getting them help, the show is sort of to let the public know and get the public's help because once the public knows the person can how the public actually feels about their problems and will be more encouraged to get help,, if you get what i mean

[@sugarkats21]

[@jbird631]

*describes every single characteristic of someone with bad bulimia - "you are in the premature stages of anorexia"

[@cantacarallada]

She also starves herself for days. I think it's a mix of boths.

[@jisol_1155]

@liana i think its anorexia binge-purge subtype. she binges on food, purposefully or not throws it up, and then starves for days on end.

[@chump.7326]

jisol_11 I think it’s BED maybe, she doesn’t seem to purposefully purge, at least it’s not implied. She overeats and then her body can’t keep the food in so she may naturally be forced to puke. It depends on her international behind puking

[@jbird631]

Oop just seeing these replies now - yea it's definitely a mix of things but it seems that she does purposely puke. Binge starve cycle too. It's definitely a mix of things I was just commenting on how it seems that's the only eating disorder they can recognize when it's even clear how much she eats

[@biancakekoa1363]

Anna “purging” isn’t just vomiting though. Taking laxatives, over exercise, starving yourself, etc. after a binge are all characteristics of bulimia. If you simply binge and don’t do anything about it then that’s something else

[@ChooChewChu]

This segment is a great example of just how behind Korea is when it comes to mental health.

[@blackclothesblackcat8873]

PewPew Yes it is still a taboo there

[@formystudies]

It's not exclusive to Korea, but Koreans do pay excessive attention to appearance.

[@c.y.p]

moni&mini same like proper hard

[@sketchesification]

so much stigma attached to mental disorders in Korea but also they don't have stringent health privacy laws there. Employers will look at prospective employees health records before hiring and so any mental issues will be on their permanent record which hinder employment. That is another reason most do not seek psychiatric help.

[@___pphh8554]

I know I shouldn't have laughed because her symptoms sounds like she has bulimia, body dismorphia.. But they made it comedic..?

[@bubbles02010]

lol what do you mean, "you can get anorexia"?? she already has freaking full-blown BULIMIA. this is pretty serious

[@katiekawaii]

Korea has among the highest, if not the highest, and fastest growing rates of eating disorders in the world. Korea also has an uncommonly high rate of eating disorders among men. It is becoming a problem of epidemic proportions, and it simply is not being discussed. (And a good example of the way it's often treated on the rare occasions when it actually is discussed is Sojung of Ladies Code. She admitted to struggling with an eating disorder, and the next day her management released footage of her eating pizza, like, "See, she's eating pizza! She's fine! All better!") I really hope someone in Korean media will take this up as a cause and get it the attention it deserves.

[@ohhana8336]

[@Faiangel]

[@nheilvocal3801]

katie kawaii it really depends on the agency look how oh my girl member was treated right by her company by diagnosing her in a hospital for her to eat but sadly sthe company let her go

[@hannax2420]

Even Jimin from BTS went on extreme diets but since he's a guy people didn't care even if he clearly was anorexic

[@sanchka1]

katie kawaii So true. And it all is linked to Korea's obssession over looks and their mentality that they can criticise anyone over looks. Even strangers. Her low selfesteem was all caused by ppl that surrounded her that told her she wasn't skinny enough. Sadly this isn't only Koreas problem but many other asian countries' too. I know, because I am asian myself. I grew in Europe and never had problem with my self esteem, "only" had to deal with racism, which decreased the older I got. But then I moved to my homecountry and lived there for 2 years and it was suffocating af. I lost my self esteem, started to develop stress and anxiety syndromes and lost my glow, all because ppl around me were so judgemental about looks and materialistic things like what kind of clothes you wear and etc. So glad I moved back to EU, cuz I wouldn't be able to live there without developing psychological problems.

[@herroisabellakate]

as someone with an eating disorder, she shows clear signs of bulimia. often time bulimics will binge and purge, as well as purge through starvation. i hope she gets the help she needs and understand how beautiful she is.

[@BloodyAssasinKiller]

She has Bulimia nervosa and if you don't seek medical help immediately she will continue to do so and can die.

[@aikusayanagi5606]

ikr and they said you might get anorexia and I'm like Heck she is already anorexic, bulimic, and has a purging disorder

they really need to invite specialists to the show

[@Bbg346]

[@Iluvmycowcow]

Sad moment when ppl have to pick between an abusive husband and bulimia as the worst on national television.

[@JukiIsCrazy]

Koreans don't know the word "Bulimia" and something like eating disorders don't exist there from what I can see. The girl has a beautiful body. She can have that with a normal diet. T.T I'm getting depressed.

[@p.a.681]

Anorexia was mentioned by one of the hosts and most agreed that she has a serious problem so I'm sure that some of them are aware to an extent. Hopefully even more awareness is raised on such issues.

[@eenco8259]

@JukiIsCrazy I have to dispute your theory about Koreans do not know about Bulimia. How can you speak for 50 Million + people living in South Korea? There is psychiatrist In South Korea like any other nations in our planet earth. Don't be so ignorant if you gonna generalize I least have a irrefutable evidence that could support your claims. Let me ask you this?? Are you board certified psychiatrist in other word do you have the credentials?

[@JukiIsCrazy]

Een Co You are missing my point. I am not saying 50 million people are ignorant and do not know the word "bulimia." And I do realise one of the hosts said "anorexia," but in my opinion, he used it wrongly. She has bulimia (or prebulimia), not anorexia. And just look at the beauty standarts. And maybe watch some Halyu back videos about "being skinny" in Korea. I am not a psychiatrist. And I do not live in Korea nor I´m korean, so my opinion could be totally wrong. But that´s how I see it. And I think what "Baroque" said (asked) is right. I do think Korea is "culturally more stigmatized (in this problem) than the West." (English is my second language so I hope I expressed myself properly).

[@isaymamamoo9469]

+JukiIsCrazy I interpreted your point in a different way. They don't even know the word 'bulimia' because starving yourself is so common there that they don't even see what's wrong with it.

[@JukiIsCrazy]

Tan Chuan En I agree with you, yes. Sorry If I didn't get it right away. :)

[@EmoDarkness36]

She has a very dangerous eating disorder, why is she on a talk show and not at a hospital??

[@scoob1670]

@Perry potato poor excuse.

[@abcde_ghijklmnopqrstuvwyxz2188]

It'll be known to everyone if she gets diagnosed or gets help. Disorders and just generally mental health are really taboo in South Korea.

[@stelrush]

Watching this was so frustrating to be honest. No mention/consideration of an eating disorder throughout the whole video. This is most likely bulimia, and she's had it for about 3 years already?? This is such a serious disorder that hasn't been properly treated at all; at that point the urge to binge eat (and purge it all afterwards) would be pretty much _uncontrollable._ "Love yourself" speeches and unprofessional advice isn't going to be of much actual help. I really hope she tries to get therapy soon...

[@annalima7166]

Seriously, I'm so frustrated

[@noahmaasaki4326]

Sohyun 이소현 here's the thing he said she "could" get anorexia when she obviously already has the symptoms for bulimia. Meaning they 1)either don't know about bulimia 2)doesn't even know that anorexia isn't something that you can just get. It's not like a common cold. It's a mental disorder and she already is showing signs of a serious eating disorder yet he only says she "could" have it I'm sorry if it can off as mean but this is super fustrating

[@VannaCuppycake13]

Noah Maasaki Well, you *can* get anorexia. Of course it doesn't come and go like the common cold, but you can develop anorexia over time because of environmental factors, it's not always genetic. I know it's frustrating because it seems like she has bulimia nervosa, and I believe she does, but it's improper to diagnose someone if you don't have the right degree and schooling to do so. The people on the show might get in trouble if they were to "diagnose" her; they probably have to say "you could" or "you might", but I'm not sure how it is in Korea. I do wish they had told her to seek professional help though, she really does need to get properly treated before it gets worse.

[@noahmaasaki4326]

Vanna you can’t “get” a mental illness. You develop one. They are different. What you are describing is the development of a mental illness. By saying you can “get” a mental illness implies you just simply woke up and got it, when in reality it doesn’t work like that. Your information isn’t flawed, just badly worded. As for Korean culture, there is a terrible stigma around mental illness there and that is why it’s even more important for them to talk with more knowledge because if they don’t it’ll only spread bad or misleading information.

[@amei6242]

as someone who suffers (and is currently working on recovering) from an eating disorder i’m shocked at how insensitive these people are! ED is no joke and should be taken very seriously. poor girl i hope she gets the help she needs

eating pattern? you mean uh- bulimia?

[@Cassy858]

How many votes can i get to have Hello Counselor hire an actual psychologist on the show? This girl needed serious help for her mental disorder and yes, it is a mental disorder, not just a physical one.

[@EvelynZaneta]

i had bulimia and anorexia too in high school cos somebody told me i had "big boobs and fat ass" and also i have to "fix my face" until now i still struggle loving myself and have trust issues, i only perceived "you're pretty" comments as a way to pity me, to make me feel better, or they say it but don't really mean it e.g: as a greeting "hi! wow you look pretty!' but they only say it bcs they don't really have anything to say. please if you're reading this, teach anyone that you know, or maybe your future kids, not to make fun of somebody's appearance.

liz liz absolutely. i was even carrying pictures of cool girls on myspace that i wanted to be. i printed them and carry them around my wallet. so everytime i go to the school's cafeteria i would stare at those photos so i would not be tempted to buy an ice cream. there was 1 time a classmate told me "i think u gained weight" i ran into the toilet and cried. and vomitted.

[@christinechon2464]

This T.V. show is great to tell something to the public audience that there is a misunderstanding, (like the lady who was mistaken by a child all the time) or to convince the person to stop doing something (like making there child work extra hours),or to convince the person that they have a problem and need to get help. This is done with the support of the public audience, after seeing the number of votes on the screen of people who see it as a problem, they realize that all the people think that something needs to be done. After the show something is done like seeing a therapist, and this is just to help them, and push them forward to help that. You saw how she felt about going to the doctor, but now after seeing the votes, it may encourage her to go seek help. If also gives an idea to the public of how they should be a treating the situation similar to this.

[@arandomperson7813]

they make her realize how bad it is and they give her a choice to make a difference with their own problems

[@MuseandherFeelings]

I blame her parents for saying those harsh words to her.

[@IonIsFalling7217]

I can't imagine saying those things to *anyone* much less someone I purport to love

[@ckim4evr]

Wow, these hosts are terrible. They keep treating this serious issue like a joke and if it's something that can easily be overcome with exercise or just eating less - it's a psychological problem. It runs deeper than that.

[@ckim4evr]

I most especially hate the guy on the left with a green jacket - his comments are too harsh to be directed at someone with problems like her and also reek of victim blaming.

[@KR-gi2co]

ckim4evr while you are right, you can't expect them to take this incredible seriously because they're not actual therapists. They are a show that's broadcasted all over Korea, people reporting the problem and the people on the show obviously know this ain't therapy/counseling. This show provides more of an outlook of their lives for other people,and to decide whether it's actually a concern. Afterwards its up to the person to seek help or get therapy. Sorry for how late and old this is. But everyone keeps blaming the hosts instead of the acquaintances

[@UmuPadoru]

Seems to be a general thing with Koreans not taking these things seriously. It's a culture thing.

[@belensakura4857]

ckim4evr i agree. They just speak up their opinions without thinking the real solution.as if this person can change overnight

[@bitchdaeng27]

Literally everything yall blame them on the hosts REMEMBER THEY RE NOT SPECIALISTS THEY'RE JUST GIVING ADVICE

[@arabella777]

Ummm wtf r they doing there?? Girl obviously has a binge eating disorder she shouldn't even be in Hello Counselor she should be in a psychologist's office she needs help asap idk who they think they r to be giving advice for a person with a mental disorder they r just entertainers not doctors

[@AluraAlua]

In general, mental disorders are still a taboo thing in Korea. A lot of places won't hire you if they find you've been mentally ill and have prescriptions/have seen a psychologist, so a lot of people ignore they exist and try to solve it the way shown here.

[@arabella777]

Alura White damn I didn't think of it that way

[@AluraAlua]

That Brunette Over There Yup. Probably a pretty decent contributor to the reason they have some of the highest suicide rates in the developed world. One of the hosts did mention anorexia though, so maybe that shows progress

[@glencoco5159]

That Brunette Over There i think they gave pretty good advice for entertainers

[@arabella777]

+Glen Coco Yeah I understand that they couldn't give advice the same way a professional would and I would agree with you if after all they said they would also added the fact that she needs to go see a psychologist. I wouldn't have anything to complain about if they would have said that. An eating disorder should not be taken lightly as it can ruin a person's life and definitely cannot be solved with a chat of less than 20 mins.

[@ParanoidPopsticle]

This is so frustrating! I feel like they don't really know about eating disorders in Korea...

[@lolo-vh6xh]

They don't know. In korea depression isn't taking as an mental disorder.

[@ErinaBleu]

Even the slow speaking is a sign her body is already shutting down. She talks about how she falls down and can't even walk up stairs... she's got an eating disorder and it's bad. I really dislike how they deal with it on this show. Almost as if she has a choice, like she can just suddenly "gain confidence" and start eating healthily. She's a very pretty woman, but she doesn't see it because she's been pushed down all her life. she needs psychological and physical help. I know this was a year ago so I really hope she's gotten it by now.

[@redi6320]

So True.

[@formystudies]

She checks every box for bulimia nervosa. She should see a health professional right away. She's in college right? Can she see a school psychologist or something? ED sufferers are often ashamed of their own actions and are thus very secretive. I'm surprised she's willing to share her condition to the public. Seeing how focused on appearance the country has become, the community should be more educated on eating disorders, so I hope her story can inspire governors and entertainment companies to take it seriously. Eating disorders are the deadliest clusters among all mental diseases, wrecking the body and mind from the inside out, and often coupled with other mental problems(e.g. clinical depression, OCD, anxiety). I really hope she gets the treatment she deserves.

[@May04bwu]

She's also sharing it with her friend on regular basis. That's very unusual imo

[@dananguyen1415]

poor girl need professional help, when you eat to feel satisfy then purge after like that...man i just hope more people know that starving themself is not not how you lose weight

[@lue-rjeatumpalan1363]

she needs an intervention and therapist. I think this is early onset of Bulimia and anorexia. Theres reaĺly something wrong. I watched this episode and she's already taking sleeping pills to sleep off her stomachache due to overeating and hunger. I hope the show will recommend it for her please I am really worried.

not exactly early onset if she`s been this way for three years. This is disturbing to watch, especially when they all seem to make light of it.

[@gogibeef4280]

Korea needs better education on eating disorders because the way most people "diet" there, is by starving, and they don't realize how unhealthy it is for them, physically and mentally I know dis cos im korean and i have korean friends who are like this

[@MagicalNini]

what she needs is to get dragged to a damn hospital (literally drag since shes too weak to even walk like a normal human), not have a tv show and some friends tell her that shes eating bad. she needs doctors to firmly tell her that shes going to die if she continues like this. maybe that'll shake some sense into her.

[@adastraperaspera8889]

Forcing her to eat and get better will make things so much worse. She has to slowly change her mindset about her body and be willing to do it. If you tell her she'll die because of this, I think she literally wouldn't care. When I suffered from anorexia I even felt happy and encouraged to starve more by receiving comments like this. Of course this isn't always the case, but I think that this kind of mindset is widely spread amongst those who suffer from EDs.

This show's really stupid for deciding if an issue is a problem or not. At the end, who are these ppl to decide if it's a problem or not. They're all problems. If I was a producer of this show, I would change it so that it's a rank of how great the problem is. 1 small, but a problem nonetheless, to 5 as a critical problem.

[@abthurd]

I also do not agree with the format. One good thing I like about the show is they did point out the main problem hence forcing the people to confront with their problem. I think one of the MC did mention it is a premature symptom of anorexia. I hope her friends, her relatives that will be watching this show take note of this and put some action to it. I wish they put two permanent professional casts (therapist/psychiatrist/counselor) in their panel hosts so that eventhough the format applies appropriate advice can be made for the people and also for viewers' learning and awareness.

[@icedmocha5264]

[@abthurd]

Bruh, I don't think she blows out her bad memories out of proportions. And it just doesn't make sense to me they ask her to get over it. It is her friggin memories Really tho? I understand her so much when she said she rejected the guy because he doesn't seem serious at all and she doesn't mix well with guys because of her memories. Not to mention her brother also said the mean things to her. I'm not surprise at all that her distrust towards men is that high. After what she had gone through she deserves so much better than a guy who can easily find someone else to date after she rejected him. From her personality, I would say she's an introvert means it takes time to get to know her and approach her because she would not be approaching people and acting friendly. She's a timid girl. I'm so pissed that they asked her to get over her problems just because she had friends with her. No empathy at all. No amount of boyfriend can help her get through that. If she couldn't learn to love herself first, she will have more problems in the relationship which will lead to more issues. You think it's easy to find an ideal guy that can love a girl with issues and flaws? This is why I stop watching this show. This girl is clearly going through the worst time of her life, need a professional help and they just asked her to get over it, then the problem will be solved. What kind of bullshit is that. And just a thought. Her bulimic/anorexic symptoms might have started because of depression due to lack of self-confidence.

[@nielsericcalasin2458]

Some Koreans' obsession on appearance and weight is really alarming.

[@get2myra]

the vicious cycle of binge/purge is much much deeper than stress, or obsession with her figure. she needs a professional treatment center. The best thing her friends can do for her is have boundaries and stop enabling her activity by trying to comfort her on the phone, but confront her with challenging questions to truly help her to soul search. The unhealthy eating habits is an external result of something very serious internally.

[@ETFbvbAA]

+Ivy N-C I'm 5'4 and I weighed 100 last times I was weighed but I think that's because I'm naturally skinny. I think it depends on the body type. It's obvious this girl is afraid of gaining weight. It's sad....:/

[@keziahb.5485]

I hope one day she understands the balance between exercise and eating. You can still work out and eat the food you love, but just less of it. Eating like that and then skipping eating without moving your body can really kill you, so its important to learn balance and to take care of yourself. Too much of some thing can kill you; my best prayers are with her and hope she is bold yet strong enough to recover. Fighting!

[@sereimony]

This is one of the most memorable episode in my opinion. As a person who has suffered from eating disorders and lack of confidence, I know how hard it is for myself and other people around me. I hope everyone who sees this video, will not starve themselves to lose weight instead, they should be proud of who they are. Appearance is just a small part of you. I think it is the inside that counts.

[@YoungCGoddess]

This is just one prime example of why Korean beauty standards need to change... I hope she gets professional help and gains confidence within because she is very pretty and she doesn't have to change for anyone

[@919452]

Sometimes the way Korean culture sweeps serious issues under the rug makes me sad. I've seen eating disorders now in addition to what is obviously cheating husbands to sexuality denial (gay and lesbian both) and physical and psychological abuse and addiction of both genders, oh and the inferred shame of shotgun weddings... I'm not saying the US doesn't have talk shows about alllllllll off thheeesseeee thiinnggsss (Maury anyone?) but they always seem to talk AROUND what is really happening just so everyone can 'save face'. You know what makes someone proud? Overcoming a real issue instead of pretending the real issue never existed. Here we ask 'how do you feel knowing he's cheating' or 'there is help for you to leave him because he is hitting you' or 'have you thought about seeing someone to discuss your issues with your body and your relationship with food'. There is no "oh so you had your feelings hurt get over it' or 'really though, you are eating too much when you binge'. It's like cultural denial. No one ever stopped stopped a massive hemorrhage by pretending they weren't bleeding in the first place. And just for the analogy naysayers, yeah, a small cut heals on its own, but a small cut is like a woman getting mad because her husband didn't take out the trash that day, but a hemorrhage is like he cut her off from her friends, spends all of their money on booze, and doesn't want to watch their baby (which is on yet another episode of this show). I don't think I will be watching anymore episodes because it's too frustrating and sad. Korea is a culture of appeasing others and while societal kindness and respect goes a much longer way than it does in the US it, once reaching a certain line, it's detrimental to personal health both mentally and physically. I hope somewhere there is a culture that has found a decent middle ground that regards those on the outside at the same level as the individual inside without some false sense of shame.

[@Salem_6_6]

This! So much!

[@xzxzojkeymtzxzx7712]

the abuse that exists is so obvious but they dont acknowledge things like neglect, emotional blackmail etc. and laugh about it that it just hurts to watch. they should really add professional doctors and psychologists to the show and not have the severity of the problem just decided by the audience

[@girlonline9038]

Watching this in 2021 mad me so angry. She reminded me of myself because just at that time this came on KZbin I was 16 and struggling with bulimia / binge eating disorder but thank God I have recovered. The way they said she blew her "bad memories" out of proportion really pissed me off. Because it's the trauma she faced as a young girl with her family that made her react a certain way when people poked her and made fun of her. I had an ED for that exact same reason and its because of childhood trauma from a very materialistic family. I wish her well this 2021.I hope she did her best those past few years.

[@alex-holly]

This is textbook bulimia. the poor girl. i hope she goes to a real psychiatrist, i hope that hello counselor has a referral system behind the scenes. it sounds like she has a major electrolyte imbalance, all the falling over and fainting. that can effect your heart :\ at the height of my bulimia i would've rather killed myself than go on a show like this. so humiliating. but i hope the fact that she showed up means that she recognises its a problem. if anyone is struggling with an eating disorder please tell someone and get help. its a long, long fight but you can get better and be happy with yourself.

[@cinnarenaroll1292]

she's so pretty and seems like such a sweet girl if she focused more on her health, I think that could really help her be more confident in herself. I hope she comes back to the show later with some improvements and a bright smile

[@yeseulz]

Korea’s mentality to eating disorders are usually “diet” “mukbang” If a person has anorexia they consider it as “diet” and won’t even care and if they have BED they will consider as “mukbang” “fast metabolism” “foodie” The way they think won’t change any time soon..as many ed sufferers increase they just say it as “youth’s obsession to become pretty and happy” eating disorders are not even considered a problem to the citizens and it won’t change till the day when even one person looks up to the toxic beauty standards and media pressuring the youths to fit the category especially with their celebrities! ~the way I eat is similar I just don’t restrict much(because I can’t) and I don’t purge/vomit why?? because I have BED and she clearly has bulimia..I really hope she’s doing okay now

[@fatinsam1808]

been bulimic and still struggling i personally dont think she needed these “advices” from comedians and to be broadcasted on national tv. she should talk to the right person. This will not help her binge-purge cycle.

[@rh1no-m3v]

I can relate to her. Once I start I can’t stop

[@august_shin2618]

she's totally like me....😣 can't help if i started one thing then I can't control myself ...c

[@LadyVSaka]

same, when I eat, I lose myself, the next I will starve my for 3 days... if I over eat myself, I just vomit all out again..

[@christellen3077]

Call for help, find activities to do with your friends, consult a nutritionist, get informed, find what you like to eat, learn to cook, a journaling diet for what you eat, to have new ideas, all this to chge your eating patterns! No excuse :) Be blessed!

[@christinaxu6789]

you guys shouldn't do that. its really unhealthy and its damaging your body. if you wanna lose weight. tell a doctor and they can help you out. plus, based on your profile picture, you guys don't need to lose weight.

[@shabirahhisham6328]

I suffered from bulimia during my secondary school days so I understand what she's doing and I hope she finds help asap. I got discharged from therapy and hospital last two years and free from ED and living a healthy lifestyle now.

[@chickenbutt8599]

they're all nice girls tbh i wish them all happiness and health *

[@Cheannjo]

even by listening to taejoon and thr other's narration, i can tell *as clear as a day* how this girl is suffering psychological issues, specifically an eating disorder. i really want to hug her omygod

[@arushirajesh4843]

I'm happy something like this was discussed on the show. Korea's obsession with a "slim body" goes way too far sometimes. Like he said, she could have become anorexic. And also like they said, being over 50kg for 164cm is absolutely normal. Honestly, if people make fun of her for her weight or figure, she should just ignore them cuz their views and opinions should not affect her in any way. "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder". You don't have to look like an idol to be considered "pretty". A lot of idols are really underweight but I've seen many idols like Apink's Bomi and Twice's Jihyo who are actually at the right weight.

[@anikaachal6192]

I wish I was there so I could have had a talk with that girl, she is so nice and pure, I hope she is doing well.....

I'm the same height as her but I weight somewhere between 50kg and 55kg... The thought of someone being less than 50kg is already scary... but how she eats is worse :O I hope she goes to a hospital or facility and recovers well

[@balletcrazy16]

I think Korea has dieting so ingrained in their culture that even starving or purging seems normal/not a huge issue

[@AshleyWeill]

It’s crazy how so much of Korea and Japan see eating disorders as diets

[@ingridlam125]

her story is literally my life as well, used to be fat --> got eating disorder --> got extremely skinny --> premature stage of anorexia --> starve myself, dizzy and cold all the time and now i puke from time to time coz i am so anxious of my weight... could totally relate...

[@MsTheeloisa]

the girl: so my friend is like totally bulimic and she's basically killing herself the whole studio: hihihihihi ahahahah huhuhuhu

[@ms.soapii]

It’s sad that they don’t realize how serious this is

[@peya_peya19]

I want to share my story, I was 75kg before when I was in high school so I have this diet that I only eat apple everyday, no other foods just only apple and water. I loose weight and I was around 37kg and after that I started to eat foods and after eating I have to vomit everything. If I check that I gain weight like I am around 42kg I have to starve myself for like 3 to 5days and yes I was diagnose with Bulimia 😪.

[@user-qt9kh2ub6u]

Peya Aynaga I’m so sorry to hear that :( if you don’t mind me asking, how long did you only eat apples for?

[@raina7210]

i was dealing with this and still am and it’s heartbreaking to hear that other people go through this:(

[@ffaeth]

Well, I complain about myself too. I'm 156 cm and 47kg(I gained 3kg) , I think I'm too heavy but I have no plans of having a diet. Food is delicious so why bother dieting 😂.If you don't wanna gain weight then measure what you eat. Lessen the rice you eat at Breakfast,lunch & dinner, what's important is that you don't skip meals. Eat fruits too.

[@Vera-wl7fy]

I'm 18 years old and weight 54kg/ 157cm I might need to diet but you for sure dont. When I was younger I was stressed and often skiped Breakfast and after school I eat sooooo much that I felt sick. It really ruined my metabolism. People that are like the girl on the show need help asap this kind of dieting is not good :(

[@ffaeth]

Violeta V I agree. She really needs help.

[@ffaeth]

Violeta V That's the bad thing about skipping meals, it can slow down our metabolism, making us gain weight more. It's really not helping at all, I tried that too. 🙁

[@ubiquitous_star584]

페이너지영 You're definitely not too heavy. I have a large body build and I'm 153cm and 48kg but I'm still very skinnyS

[@KajdaAl]

The worst part is that nobody said the word anorexia or bulimia out loud, because they don't find this extreme...I wish the girl best good luck, I know from my experience what eating disorder feels like. She needs support.

[@MSGPP]

i actually understand this girl a lot...

[@uonlosudlq3316]

I am really worried for this girl. She’s so pretty and I hope she really got help. I really developed a crush on her. So please be safe out there! She is amazing and should really stop being so self conscious. :(

[@shainiskpascual5271]

Oh my god i can totally relate to her. I binge eat a day because i know the next day i will starve myself. I say to myself that "i should enjoy eating today because the next day, I'm not going to eat" I hate my mind

[@tiaislam645]

Omggg they’re sooo pretty 😆 I love the black haired girls voice so much

I was just like her i got hospitalized when i became 84lb at 5”3 , i was diagnosed with bulimia and binge eating disorder she needs to seek help because its been 3 years for her its really dangerous. Anyone who’s suffering from eating disorder , no matter if they’re male or female , how much they weigh ,how old they are please try your best to get out ,its hard to but it will just slowly kill u

[@elviraescalante3759]

wow... this is so sad... hope she get medical and psyological treatment asap... I understand her feelings when she says she can't stop eating and being afraid of wanting to eat more the next day... this girl has.a serious problem :'( sadly ppl in Korea don't see this as a real concern... o.o

[@Pinkeumae]

I used to be like her, I kept binge eating for a whole day or two and then vomiting everythimg I could. I would starve myself for days until I saw the scale going down the weight I wanted to see. It got to the point I was so mentally and pshysically in a really bad condition that I ended up in the hospital with fluids because I was severously dehydrated and animic. I started going to therapy weekly since that episode and it's been two years since the last time I vomit!! Sometimes I still binge eat because that's how my anxiety works, but it's reaaaally just sometimes, and I know what to do about it later, to not feel so guilty, to just let it happen and stop blaming myself for it. For anyone who is suffering for this or some eating disorder please, get some help ♡ it do gets better

[@26lilily]

no shit, she's suffering for 3 years, thats some serious eating disorder. and the hosts take it lightly...

[@jadeliew2489]

i dont understand how koreans can call an eating disorder a diet, they downplay the issue so much.

[@Dino13]

Thank you to everyone that wrote in the comments that this girl actually has bulimia and not just "weird eating patterns" because this could have been so triggering to me, thank you for the warning. I clicked thinking it was going to be like those American shows where people eat weird stuff, yet it turns out is an eating disorder and that they discuss it so casually? I lived in Korea a few years ago, and it was so sickening to me how girls treated eating disorders as normal dieting. It was awful and sad and made me feel so empty knowing there was nothing I could do to get them to ask professional help. It definetely triggered my ED so much, but even more than that was how terrible it felt to know how normalized ED were. Again, thank you all from saving me from reliving all that again.

[@qhairilrizman3841]

I'm so touched with their friendship 😭

[@ParanoidPopsticle]

That's not a diet or mainting her figure, she's got an extreme eating disorder. She needs to get help!

[@hihigh1196]

they really do not understand anything about mental health. ive struggled with eating disorders for about a year, i would go in a cycle of eating regularly then feeling fat and starving myself for a month. i recently did that again, and even if its not as extreme as hers, i know how she feels. i gained one pound and was sobbing. it really made me feel so horrible. they shouldnt make her feel bad for crying over her weight if they know a thing about eating disorders. this is really upsetting why am i still watching this

[@mothastrud]

[@Amybozhemoi]

im in recovery from ED and if i was publicly "ridiculed" or "exposed" id be stressed and worse. Her friend should get actual help from a real therapist

[@sorchanewman3385]

This is really sad because it looks as if this girl has an eating disorder and she really shouldn't be on a show like this she should see a doctor or a therapist. I don't think any of these presenters are qualified to help her and this really shows how behind korea is in terms of mental illness.

[@klaraskorepova6968]

Experiencing an eating disorder myself, this girl needs help! Because this is no longer just dieting, she really is sick. I hope she'll get better soon, but it's not something you can overcome on your own (and btw that has nothing to do with being strong, it's you don't overcome illness by your own will only). What's even worse is that nobody suspects eating disorders since South Korea is so obssessed with dieting and starving that they find this behaviour normal.

[@chia5723]

I feel like they should be talking to professionals, not being on a tv show
