Ailee Said Singing and Losing 10 Kilograms at the Same Time was the Hardest Thing

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

After shedding 10 kilograms, Ailee talked about her diet.

On September 25, Ailee held a showcase for her third album Magazine at the Ilchi Art Hall in Chungdahm-dong.

"In one month, I lost about 10 kilograms," said Ailee. "I had no thoughts about losing weight fast, but it just happened that way. Because I lost weight rapidly, my stamina got weaker. I heard even my voice sounds different. I′m trying really hard to make sure keep the power in my voice."

"It was the hardest thing to lose weight and sing," added Ailee. "I thought I would faint every single day, but I didn′t."

Regarding her diet, she stated, "I had a controlled diet. Every day, I only ate 500kcal," and "Because I was practicing the choreography a lot, that also became exercise."

Ahead of her comeback, Ailee lost 10 kilograms, grabbing attention. MC Park Sung Kwang praised the singer, saying, "Ailee is the style to eat and lose weight, and she worked hard. She lost a lot of weight."

Ailee′s new mini album Magazine includes tracks produced by Kim Do Hoon, Dynamic Duo, Jakops, and more.

Don′t Touch Me was created by Kim Do Hoon and begins with a powerful piano melody before leading in the rock sound. Expressing the feelings of a woman who was betrayed by a man, the lyrics of Don′t Touch Me was penned by Ailee.

Every day, I only ate 500kcal
that's just...like 2400 is the estimate for an active woman her age (and lbr idols would need more since they do several hours of physical activity a day). no wonder she wanted to faint. and these terrible starvation diets don't do any good for them as performers as evidenced by her lack of stamina and weakening voice


If you’re trying to lose weight, the safe weekly rate of weight loss is between 0.5kg and 1kg. That’s between around 1lb and 2lb a week. Lose weight faster than this, and you are at risk of health problems that include malnutrition and gallstones, as well as feeling tired and unwell.

The gallstones thing is too real.

I lost 25lbs in a month at one point and I had gallstones so bad I got pancreatitis and had to have emergency surgery.

This kind of thing is really scary and I hate seeing it so rampant in idols.

500kcal.............. girl

This is terrrible!

I'm a dancer, but if I just ate that little each day, I couldn't even get up in the morning to practise.
I'll never understand why idols (or people, who want to lose weight), think that starving is the way to go. It's NOT healthy. Also, idols don't even need to go on a diet, because their life is so stressful and busy, so I guess they burn a lot of calories by just doing what they're doing! x.x

NO NO NO NO NO

THIS IS NOT HARD WORK. her feeling faint and losing stamina and having her voice affected by this is NOT SOMETHING TO BE PRAISED.

what the fuck is this.

500kcal... girl
Your body needs a lot more e

[pseudo-shigure.livejournal.com]

god. what is 500kcal. and she's very active too.
i was happy the first time i saw her, bc i thought she'd be one of the few idols that embraces her curvy fuller body, but well...

[e-bone (from livejournal.com)]

Tbh I always thought it was only a matter of time before the powers that be got to her. And if it's really affecting her voice T________T

The pressure always gets to them eventually.

You're only slightly safe from public scrutiny when your underage and then when you become an adult, you're fair game and all hell breaks loose. I'll be praying for AKMU's Soohyun and 15&'s Jimin.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

I'm soo worried for AKMU, especially Chan Hyuk with all the comments people make about his underbite.Lee Hi too

[pikapika217.livejournal.com]

Aww honey :/

[torontok.livejournal.com]

That is not healthy at all. Ailee, girl, get it together.
I thin kshe and I are similar in we both have bodies that will never look model skinny simply because of how we're shaped-I've lost 30 pounds before but I have broad shoulders and wide hips so I never look petite. She has the hips and a thicker waist

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

i read in another article that she talks about her weakened lung capacity now which boggles my mind. she was put on a diet to make her look better (by whos standards wtf) but now she can't do her only job properly.
i am very very sad for her

[wufanny.livejournal.com]

I can only hope that she gets away from this anorexic behavior.

When i was about 14, something in me got switched and I went from eating a lot to only eating around ~500 calories a day. I would do cardio/dance to exercise from 1-2 hours a day. My family noticed right away and would try to get me to eat more than a few bites of my dinner but I would swear I was full.

This behavior went on for 2 months? I remember I lost around 20 pounds in that period (so about 10 pounds a month). My eating disorder hadn't taken hold of my self control yet and since I was satisfied with my weight I went back to eating normal and gained 40 pounds..

To this day I still get urges to return to those habits, despite all the fitness knowledge I have now.
I just truly hope she realizes how damaging her actions already are, and returns to a healthy diet. She has so much talent and beauty.

girl....

[eesor.livejournal.com]

so why did she lose it in the first place? idgi tbh

[obviousgirl.livejournal.com]

More than likely management wanted her to lose weight and put her on a stricken diet.

[hellociara.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
this is NOT okay. first things first - if ailee lost the weight because she wanted to, then fine. but if not, then why?! like i still don't get it. she had the perfect body. and 500 cals PER DAY?!!?!?! everyone knows that's not safe. it's already showing signs if she has weakened stamina & vocals. i know that body image is important especially in the kind of work that she's in, but i rather her be HEALTHY them messing up her body just for a better image. stay strong ailee!

[merylsteep.livejournal.com]

Wth. Nothing is worth losing this much weight. Working diligently, pushing hard also means taking care of your health. I can't blame her though, it's just so sad that there's this insane pressure on them.

[fiercediva.livejournal.com]

She doesn't have 22 lbs. to lose, especially when dancing and practicing! One of the few singers with real curves - is that considered fat? She doesn't even look "fat" for TV!

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

even netizens said that its the first time they were upset that an idol lost weight lol

[princetabi.livejournal.com]

you don't eat that little with no thoughts of losing weight quickly. I'm sad she lost weight. I just hope she's back to eating healthy and is happy with her weight loss.

[tempestdance.livejournal.com]

the thing is no one told her to lose any weight o_O like people loved her for her figure and for her freaking voice, who told her that losing weight was a good idea????

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

mte! I was under the impression international AND knetizens liked her for her curvier body/voice. maybe it was people in her company or maybe she wanted to look more like the other idols??

[syimato.livejournal.com]

That picture is recent right? She still looks healthy, she still has meats like she used to be =/. so that means the 10kg is really the over-fats that are not needed or maybe she really gained some weight so sheds the not needed fats.

[torontok.livejournal.com]

The point isn't the weight loss which isn't actually all that noticeable (minus the loss of her glorious thighs) but how she went about it. Exercise and diet are one thing, starving yourself which is what she did is not how you go about it.
I wouldn't be surprised if she puts on a lot more weight when she goes off it. the body stores fats even more after these kinds of extreme diets.

[violentiak.livejournal.com]

NOOOOOOOO, I really hate the celebs advertising that kind of unhealthy diets and rapid weight loss like they are good things, hard work and somehting to be praised for. FUCKING NO! That is a terrible examble for everyone and I know they do those crazy diets, but at least they shouldn't ever talk about it like that.

It is not cool. That kind of diet can cause severe effect on your body, bones, hormones, heart, etc.

It makes me so sad that it's Ailee, because I like her so much and it's terrible that the entertainment industry has affected her like that.

[liquidt1000.livejournal.com]

ew this trollop needs 2 disappear already

[imienazwisko.livejournal.com]

[xzombiexzombiex.livejournal.com]

500 calories is the most I ate when my eating disorder was bad so... yeah, really not healthy at all. It's no wonder she felt like crap. She really shouldn't be advertising such unhealthy methods.

[mintychocolat.livejournal.com]

oh no :C

[petecarl.livejournal.com]

:( That's a really unhealthy way to go about weightloss. Like, that's how much I ate when my ED was really bad (when I wasn't binging). She's probably going to have a lot of trouble with knowing how much to eat and avoiding binging after this. Even once you meet your goal, these thoughts/actions stay with you. Like, stopping just cause you meet your goal doesn't prevent the thoughts from constantly being in your head. Like, I can't diet cause I freak out that I'm going to slip back into my unhealthy ways of eating, and I still deal with binging, and I only was really caught up in the ED for a few months (though I had disordered eating for a good while after cause recovery takes time, and I still struggle sometimes).

I hope she doesn't do anything extreme like this again and stops acting like these examples of extreme dieting/exercising are healthy. She isn't a role model to be envied for being able to push through being lightheaded and hungry. It's really worrying how it seems idols can never be too thin for S.Korea.
