[@MinttMeringue]

Yeah. It's so unhealthy. Here, let me not eat sufficient calories and get no nutrition at all. And people still defend them online saying they're "totally healthy"

[@heydemonsitsmeyaboi3524]

Well, it may be an extreme way of losing weight, but, as you see, they care more about their appearance than about their health. Also, many people starve themselves because it's the fastest or even the only way they can lose weight. I'm not defending them or saying it's better to starve yourself instead of losing weight in a 'healthy' way. I just wanted to share my opinion.

[@arceeprime4679]

I lost some weight like this too

[@mushu6928]

I do it all the time

[@rasigadhanya8952]

I don't think I saw any *"fat"* girls in this video not even in the background

[@Name-jw4sj]

None of them were even remotely fat. I actually gained weight due to the quarantine, I ballooned up to 195 lbs which is 20 lbs more my normal weight of 175 lbs. But after dieting and doing 30 minute exercises I lost 20 lbs in two months. The secret to losing weight is to just eat less. You can still eat all your favorite food but in portions instead of whole so for example instead of eating a whole box of pizza, only eat three slices of pizza.

Not any of my korean friends who are heavier than me experience any diseases or illness due to weight. I have seen many, many chubby and pretty girls in Korea too, not just skinny ones. It’s all based on genetics, my mother used to be very chubby when she was younger, but all that fat went into her height. I’m working out so I can look the way I want tho

[@winniechen4311]

I think most don't know the healthy way. Starving is easier for them than exercising. Plus, many kpop idols have really horrific crash diets. Overall, it's not sustainable long term. However, there is this popular style of eating called Intermittent fasting. It's a great way to make sure you dont over eat it also get the benefits of fasting. I typically do omad (one meal a day) and I've done adf (alt day fasting) as well. The mentality of fasting and starving are different. Many people do 3day water fast to lose weight or to heal their skin or w.e. once you get used to a life style it's not too hard.

[@buzzlightyearandco]

Starving is not effective because it's not deliberate nor controlled. But intermittent fasting (if you're not underweight, pregnant, still growing or have certain medical conditions like Type 1 diabetes) and shorter prolonged fasts (1-3 days) are very effective and healthy for you

[@footballchica026]

I will never forget when I used to live in Korea and taught there, my female students saying that any woman over 48 kg was not a woman. When I first got there, I weighed 112 kg, I went to the gym, got a trainer, and got down to 79 kg. His goal for me was 50 kg. I thought he was crazy. I'm 170 cm and that is too tiny. Since leaving Korea, I'm now 60 kgs and have been for the past 3 years. I eat whole foods plant based and exercise 45 minutes daily. I think 60 kg is healthy and can't imagine being any smaller.

[@theemperor3557]

I think 112kg for 170cm is acutually obese so it’s good your a healthy weight now which is 60-80 kg but below 48 is impossible for your height

[@footballchica026]

@@theemperor3557 yes, I was definitely obese. and their standards are crazy to me. I'd have to starve to get that small and I'd probably look very unhealthy

[@villainousextremity]

Reading your reply helped me understand how lucky I am to not live there. I would probably face judgements everyday about my appearance or weight. There's always a certain healthy weight range for each height and yeah 48kg isn't okay if you're 170cm tall. Unless you're naturally skinny I guess it's fine.

[@footballchica026]

@@villainousextremity right? If you're that tall and naturally skinny like that, it's fine. but starving to try to attain that is not ok. I loved Korea and it's my second home. I lived there 3 years and even got married there. But their obsession with appearance is something I don't miss. People did make a lot of comments like "you have a pretty face but need to lose weight." "you have eyes like a doll but you'd look better skinnier." It bothered me. Attractive people get more, your picture is required on resumes, etc. Way too much focus on appearance

[@villainousextremity]

@@footballchica026 exactly. You shouldn't try to "diet" to be underweight or look pretty in a way you probably don't want to on your own. And honestly I think being healthy and fit is a lot more beautiful than fitting in these so called standards that prolly might not last long. There are health complications when being severely underweight such as menstrual problems, risk of osteoporosis, growth issues, anemia, etc. I guess if I would u I would get my freaking ass out of that country. It's just too toxic. Ps: I think you're beautiful already. Don't listen to these ridiculous people.

[@kimmyungsun5339]

I see a lot of ppl commenting they are sick, or their mentality is unhealthy..etc. As a Korean myself, most women in Korea consider themselves not good enough to fit the beauty standard. This is mainly because of our highly competitive society, forcing women to compare and put themselves down. Thus it’s definitely hard to break that cycle of going on a diet and giving up, consequently feeling guilty. I realized this only after immigrating to Canada

[@msadent1825]

But as a foreigner I find korean women pretty, and I just can't understand how those dancers can even function with skinny legs.

[@JinxPropaganda]

Kim Myungsun y’all are beautiful though there’s no need to diet

[@kimmyungsun5339]

Think TWICE I would say it’s the hard-working ethics that say been passed on through generations. South Korea was able to develop rapidly since the Korean war happened technology wise and I’d say that was due to high human population we had. It wasn’t like we had abundant natural resources such as oil, we only had our people.

[@kimmyungsun5339]

Think TWICE personally I think its a good trait unless it burns you out which sadly happens to a lot of young population in Korea

[@kimmyungsun5339]

Think TWICE Again I think its the competition that drives individuals to work for perfection. Cuz just doing the best you can do is not enough to survive in society. For instance, even the graduates from Seoul national univ. find themselves struggling to get a job which is quite odd since its #1 uni in Korea.

[@claracalhoun5041]

I lived in Seoul for 3 years in middle and high school and I can confirm that the pressure of perfection in regard to appearance is pretty crippling. Although I'm half Korean, when I moved to Korea I had never before been really exposed to Korean diet culture and such, and I moved right as I was starting to hit my growth spurt, so I very quickly became hyper-aware and self-conscious of my body. This eventually turned into an eating disorder after a year of slowly realizing that I wasn't as skinny as everyone else around me. There's so much pressure to fit into a perfect, tiny mold, and I can't even imagine how much this would be heightened for people who are entirely Korean. I love many parts of Korea and my time there but my relationship with food permanently changed during my time there and it's caused pretty severe body dysmorphia that I still haven't gotten over years later. I hope the more girls help to change the culture surrounding body image there like the ones in this video!

The word "DIET" did not mean losing weight in the first place. It's supposed to point out proper nutrition. And I must say, I do apologize, but dancer or not, subtracting 115 from your height in cm to get your "ideal" weight, is a whole level of BS. Men and women alike should think like the ladies at the end of the video. EAT. Properly. Because, would you rather be skinny and dead or sick, or be at a manageable weight and happily enjoy your time with family and friends doing stuff like sports and the like? People will always have an opinion. To some "you need to lose weight"; others, "you must have an eating disorder" (which may be true). Just strive to be healthier physically and mentally. Remember that for the celebrities that we aspire to be like, they have access to resources, dieticians, fitness coaches and of course good ol' photoshop. So please please do stay healthy.

You are right!!!

[@whatifwewould]

I absolutely agree with you. I didn't grew up in Korea (which is the most extreme example for beauty standards I guess) and STILL I don't have any female friends who are really happy with their bodies. I am so mad and also worried about girls (and boys) who have to grow up with this kind of mindset. I hope the next generations will change that.

[@Kez_h]

I find it incredibly strange how some idols will crash diet and their members of the group or maybe managers wont stop them. Then you hear the after stories of "oh i did this really extreme diet for days and days and felt terrible" or they do it regularly and i just wonder, if they were weak during dance practice or felt fainy, why were the people around them not doing anything? So sad

Ladies come to Italy, the land where no matter how much you weight there’s always a nonna saying that you should eat more because you’re too skinny ♥️

[@ornellafranco8485]

@@taytaykve it could seem like that but actually in Italy by saying “let me cook you something” is like taking care of someone, showing affection because our grandma’s weren’t used to show off affection with sweet words and hugs and kisses. So they say, eat more of this, eat more of that because they want to tell you that they prepared it for you and want to take care of you

@Stacy Verre I don’t know in which area you live but I assure that where I’m from people start referring to someone as chubby/fat after 75/80kg (only if your height is around 165cm of course otherwise it’s normal to weight more). I weight 60 kg myself and nobody has ever called me fat, like ever ever, not even behind my back, because my body type is perceived as thin. But yeah grandmas are the best, they have a whole different concept of body type ahaha

I hope people would understand that there's no ideal weight...weight depends on various factors....your body structure, type, height, muscle mass, genes, etc....two person of same weight can literally look different depending on their lifestyle and body...it's ok to maintain a healthy weight, but taking it to the extreme of starving your body too much is itself unhealthy, not only physically, but mentally as well...love yourself❤️

most of these girls actually named a healty weight as their ideal weight... i think only 1 put a too low weight goal. Korea's standards do go between underweight and healthy weight but America's standards tend to be between healty weight and overweight.

[@chujyu7206]

Being underweight does not mean unhealthy, just as overweight doesn't necessarily mean unhealthy. It really depends on the person's body type, and the people in the video were not making standards that would be extremely underweight or unhealthy.

[@lonewaer]

Their ideal weights would still make them skinny af. Honestly anything under 60kgs I'll consider unhealthy. What's funny to see is that the only ones who had a rational mentality about the whole topic were also the only ones accompanied by men. Not to say that the other ones weren't in a relationship, but it's still funny to notice.

[@aeahaha9268]

I'm 5'0 and 15, their ideal (110 lbs in some cases) wouldn't be underweight for me at all. It all depends on the person.

if anyone sees this, please don’t try the “apple diet” or any other fad diets, with just a little research on your body type and nutrition you can lose A LOT more weight by eating A LOT of food. love yourselves enough to lose weight healthily

[@LisaKirova]

Agreed! Yo-yo eating is much worse than daily moderation, and the older you are the more difficult for your metabolism to recover! I don’t judge anyone who’s tried these because I have too, but guess what the “”lost weight”” came back in 3 days 😂😭

[@LisaKirova]

@AllenLee idk what exact research they’re referring to but it’s true that eating a larger amount of right / healthier foods consistently (think nuts, eggs, brown rice, chicken breast, tofu) is better than going on a calorie deficit or fast, which is almost always followed by not being able to resist (bc it’s just human temptation) & binge eating to excess (the so-called “yo yo diets”)

[@LisaKirova]

@AllenLee that’s why I say largER amt not large 😅 I do agree with u about the rec calories tho, bc in my personal exp I def eat under 2000 let alone 2400 bc I’m mostly eating nutritionally correct foods like low carb or low fat. But in the past I used to do crazy things like 500 cal a day diet which is a terrible deficit & inevitably end up over eating after. So that’s the part of dieting I disagree with bc it fails & you get a yo-yo effect. Moderation in everything.

@@stsesem i’m referring to diets like the keto diet or the mediterranean diet lifestyle, you can eat all you want of the right foods and still loose weight. look into it.

The guy (boyfriend) of a couple at 9:55looked abit like Ju Won and the matured lady at 10:50 is the only one who said the most sensible words of wisdom, she mentioned that the most beautiful body is not determined by the slenderness or appearance, it should be the confidence a woman should have and love their bodies no matter what. 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 👏🏻 Sometimes it’s a sad thing that Koreans are way too mindful (extreme) about physical appearances that’s why almost all undergone the most common plastic surgeries for double eyelids and nose 👃. And you see anyone on streets, tv artistes, celebrities with a set of full neat alignment of teeth as everyone went for braces during their teen years. Every month or so, they do scaling/polish, whitening of their teeth in dental clinics with paid packages and some even do cosmetic dentistry like veneers, teeth bonding or reshaping so they look great 👍🏻 in front of others or for first impression purposes. Their cultures have such strong influences and travelled upon the oceans. Now look at how many youngsters are so into K-Pop learning dancing, going for braces during their teen years, dressing like a korean or K-Pop idol, whipping up korean dishes at home and BEST - learning korean language in private schools or even going to Korea to study!!!

[@nssingh171998]

All these women are fit. I'm sick of unrealistic body image established by social media.

[@nktakhar]

Compared to other places, south korea has really high beauty standards so even though they are fit to foreigners, they constantly beat themselves up (not literally) and call themselves fat, ugly, and unattractive even though they really aren't. They have to pay so much attention to their appearance that it's concerning, but sometimes they don't even notice if they starve themselves to fit korea's standards.

[@shineeshome]

I'm guessing They re not all fit. There's a thing called skinny fat, which most of these girls are. They weigh less than the average women but Asians have smaller bone structure i believe, so in reality they could be fat. Weight means nothing a lot of the time. If they dieted and exercised they would probably weigh more but look way better. I am very insecure about the way I look not how much I weigh. These girls would be surprised how much exercising correctly and putting on a little bit of muscle could do for them

[@remuvs]

That's just how it is with cultural differences, there's no rhyme or reason, it just is what it is.

[@malus7452]

I don’t think it has been established by social media, but deeply rooted in their culture. Korean mothers don’t give their daughters as much food as they need to be on healthy bmi level, and it’s some kind of tradition that korean girls have to be skinny and the guys have to be strong
