Youngji Reveals She Lost 10kg to "Keep Up With Kara"

[sayuridoll.livejournal.com]

KARA‘s maknae, Youngji, reveals her drastic weight loss to keep up with the rest of the members of the group.

On a recent broadcast of Choi Hwa Jung’s Power Time on SBS Power FM, KARA featured as the special guest of the day. The girls talked about the differences they experience in their lives prior to and post debut as a popular girl group.

Among many stories, the members’ weight loss have garnered much attention. In particular, Gyuri revealed to have lost 7kg and following Youngji’s confession of losing 10 kg to keep up with KARA. Youngji commented, “I lost about 10kg, because our unnis have such pretty figures, I am trying hard to catch up.”

Meanwhile, check out what netizens think about their weight loss:

1. [+2,012, -53] She’s suffering because she looks comparatively chubbier next to Goo Hara… even though she’d look fine next to anyone else

2. [+1,788, -69] The group does seem to look better after that whiny kid left to Japan

3. [+1,264, -74] Even after she lost 10 kg, she still stands out when the four of them are standing together for pictures. Just how much skinnier are the other three and how hard do they manage themselves? Goo Hara has always been thin and Gyuri and Seungyeon look waify next to her still too. Just a few years ago, Gyuri was the one looking chubby but she dieted and looks prettier now, along with Seungyeon.
– Youngji is thin enough as she is… it’s just that Goo Hara’s so very thin ㅠㅠㅠ
– I feel bad for Youngji. The other three are super thin but Youngji’s build doesn’t look like she was meant to be that thin.
– You see Goo Hara in real life and she’s not just thin, she looks anorexic..
– They are severely thin.. especially Seungyeon, I’m scared she’ll faint sometimes.
– I think Seungyeon is looking more thin than Hara lately.

4. [+1,153, -70] Didn’t care for Youngji at first but she’s really doing wonders for this group

5. [+125, -6] How in the world did she lose 10 kg just to “keep up”??

6. [+129, -16] The four of them look a lot brighter with Youngji now. Despite KARA being an older group, the chemistry feels right now. They'll be fine if they work hard.

7. [+112, -11] Their days as five was alright but now that they're down to four with a new member, there's something more lively about them.

8. [+108, -13] Honestly, Youngji >>>>>>>>>>>>>> Jiyoung. Even as a woman, Youngji's just so innocent and pretty ㅋㅋ

9. [+51, -6] What Youngji joining KARA did

RT at all of those netizens. Youngji always looked awesome! Just because the rest of the group is skeletal...I just hope she lost the weight healthily.

#inspiration
Everytime I hear something like this it inspires me..
And I can't wait for their fitness dvd

[lolylen.livejournal.com]

everyone in kara always seemed to have such tiny build to me..even compared to other girl groups
i always felt bad for gyuri bc she always gets the "she's fat" comments just bc the others r smaller than her and ends up dieting bc of it even tho she have nothing to lose in the first place
its sad the youngji have to deal with this too now

[huanyia.livejournal.com]

She looks healthy while the others look like they can barely stand on stage sometimes, because they are so thin.
Be confident Youngji!!

god i wish people would just tell these girls that it's perfectly fine to have more than one body type and still look drop dead gorgeous :(

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

also why all the jiyoung hate?

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

she cried once on TV and when she left KARA decided to comeback in Japan where the money is instead of South Korea.

[mamamoos.livejournal.com]

ah yes i should've made that connection :\

[belintuchiha.livejournal.com]

and here I keep looking for the motivation to lose weight
I wish I had their will lol

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

hani said something similar a couple of weeks ago :(
when she compared herself to bora and hara she felt like she should lose weight
i wish girls stop using weight and body proportions to compete with each others... nobody ever wins that race in a healthy way

[xxhna.livejournal.com]

on average, kara is pretty tiny. i'm guessing she felt pressure to lose weight =[

she looked good though...so healthy! i think on rm she mentioned she's quite active in sports.

[lovelyxbeauty.livejournal.com]

it's so sad reading stuff like this (incl. what Gyuri went through) there is nothing wrong with their weight, they just have different body sizes.

That sucks major tbh like Youngji has a good figure, but when compared to Hara who is really thin/slender and Gyuri/Seungyeon who're petite and have years of "managing" their bodies behind them, of course she's gonna look "bigger". I hope she's doing it healthily tho and not just crash dieting

[goshipgurl.livejournal.com]

whats up with kara and all these "body/figure" articles lately...

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Seungyeon and Hara are both tiny, so in comparison Gyuri and Youngji looks bigger next to them :(

[haixiao.livejournal.com]

how does youngji even have 10 kg of weight to lose????

[love-keiko.livejournal.com]

IKR?!

[chenetic.livejournal.com]

I definitely understand the worry of looking more "chubbier" next to others but the fact that people initially see you as "fat" in comparison is gross

[monceri.livejournal.com]

i was fearing that :S
