GIRL GROUP MEMBERS CONFIRMED FOR JTBC'S GIRLS WHO EAT WELL

[cagallisakura.livejournal.com]

JTBC’s upcoming eating-centered variety show is coming soon!

On June 7, a JTBC representative revealed that TWICE’s Tzuyu and Red Velvet’s Seulgi will be joining “Girls Who Eat Well.”

Tzuyu has previously shown her love for eating a variety of foods on SBS’s “Three Great Emperors” as well as KBS 2TV’s “A Look at Myself.”

Also, Seulgi has also shown great eating broadcast skills on “Three Great Emperors” as well as through Red Velvet’s V App channel.

The JTBC representative commented that Tzuyu and Seulgi are well known amongst girl group members currently and have twofold charms regarding their personalities and eating styles. The represenative said, “With the pair joining the show, there is heightened anticipation regarding who will be the #1 eating broadcast fairy.”

“Girls Who Eat Well” will also feature Kim Sook, Jo Se Ho, and Yang Se Hyung as MCs.

The show will feature its first live match on June 15 through Naver’s V App. The first episode for television is slated to air in early July.

On June 7, JTBC confirmed that Secret’s Jun Hyosung and 9MUSES’s Kyungri will appear on the channel’s new eating show “Girls Who Eat Well.”

Jun Hyosung has continuously displayed her love for food on variety shows and by posting photos of her mukbangs on SBS.  For instance,
Jun Hyosung recently hosted a mukbang in the dark on MBC’s “My Little Television,” sharing that one way she relieves stress is by eating spicy foods.

Kyungri has also regularly shared her eating exploits with fans via SNS and variety shows. Self-described as someone who works out so that she can eat, Kyungri will surely be in her element on “Girls Who Eat Well.”

A Pink’s Namjoo and Oh My Girl’s Jiho have been added to the line-up of the new eating show “Girls Who Eat Well.”

Previously, JTBC confirmed that TWICE’s Tzuyu, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, Secret’s Hyosung, and Nine Muses’ Kyungri will be appearing on the show as well, to put up a eating battle for the viewers.

A Pink’s Namjoo is already well-known for her love for eating, having been a MC for the food program “Gourmet Road 2.” About her upcoming appearance on this new eating show, she confidently said, “I don’t think I need to practice as long as I just eat like I usually do.”

Oh My Girl’s Jiho is one competitive player, too. During one of the programs celebrating the Lunar New Years’ Day, Jiho went against comedienne Lee Guk Joo and beat her in a jjajangmyun eating contest, finishing the whole bowl in just 39 seconds!

According to industry sources on June 9, TWICE’s Dahyun and I.O.I’s Kang Mina are the final additions to the cast of JTBC’s new eating show “Girls Who Eat Well.”

Dahyun and Kang Mina round out the eight-member cast for “Girls Who Eat Well,” which also includes TWICE’s Tzuyu, Red Velvet’s Seulgi, Secret’s Jun Hyosung, 9MUSES’s Kyungri, A Pink’s Namjoo, Oh My Girl’s Jiho.

kang mina also joined, bc that won't backfire at all. the girl gets so much unnecessary hate over her nonexistent chub as it is.

“With the pair joining the show, there is heightened anticipation regarding who will be the #1 eating broadcast fairy.” some of these reps say the weirdest shit...

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I want to be excited about this, but I have a bad feeling about it?

Namjoo is making whatever she's eating look so good rn, lol.

[jinkiestabi.livejournal.com]

I completely missed Jo Se Ho's name in this article. Being a piece of shit man is obviously good for financial stability.

[fallendaydreams.livejournal.com]

This seems weird and fetishy?

[purekpopology.livejournal.com]

Something about this show concept doesn't sit right with me. I think it's because it makes the "unrealistically thin" standard even MORE unrealistic. Its like, not only should you be super skinny, but you should be able to eat a lot too? And the only reason it's considered "charming" is because they're thin and pretty, where as if someone considered "fat" ate the same amount they'd be shamed for it. Also, I guess I think it's kinda stupid to find a woman eating a lot "charming" at all. I get uncomfortable whenever someone judges how much someone eats, whether it's positive or negative.

Edit: Ugh just realized Jo Seho is cast too. Gross. Everything about this show just sounds terrible.

ia
having fast metabolism isnt fun & awesome like they make it look ... let's be honest even if half (probably less) of these girls have fast metabolism and they wont have problems later, the rest will have to diet (or exercise) extra hard in order to keep their size

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

mte to your entire comment!

[annayism.livejournal.com]

get jo seho away from these girls

[tree-star123.livejournal.com]

part of me doesn't trust this show.... girl idols are usually on diets and i hope they are not forced to do things to maintain their weight (i remember reading an interview from this actress saying she essentially forced herself to throw up after long eating scenes)

i didn't even noticed that jo seho is the mc ugh why!!?!? he and freaking and jang dong min? are so annoying

[onerainysunday.livejournal.com]

Mina from IOI and Dahyun from Twice also joined.

Mini rant but like... this is literally the perfect show for Momo and despite there being TWO Twice members on the show Momo isn't one of them. Pisses me off tbh...

[ocean-pig.livejournal.com]

I came in only to complain about lack of Momo. Lol

Maybe she will guest star for the jokbal special ep.

[miwa201.livejournal.com]

IKR i'm so pressed lmao. esp bc seulgi and mina are two of my other biases

[sra-interesante.livejournal.com]

this sound a little bit weird
the fascination with watching pretty girls stuffng their faces on camera stills weirds me out
i wonder how many episodes will air before they star with the classic " oohh your mouth so big .... lets see how many ddukbokki you can eat at the same time ??" games

[cedric-mcfly.livejournal.com]

How is Se Ho in everything!

Petition to also get Momo on the show with bb Tzuyu!

[parkjsun.livejournal.com]

Wow @ this all-the-warriors cast wasted on this stupid show. Can we please get something like Invincible Youth instead?

[iigoru.livejournal.com]

I miss Invincible Youth so much. I've made thousands of possible lineups for a possible new season these last years. So many rookie girls with potential...

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

I want that so much... , lot of cuties and hilarious rookies are just wasted on boring shows.

[lettace.livejournal.com]

so is tzuyu a flat-out cast member or is she appearing for an episode or two?

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

hoping that their companies won't make them starve before/after because of the amount of food they'll be eating :(

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

good to see shows with more female cast members but couldn't they get some female mcs instead. i'm tired of seho uggh. also it would be nice if it were someone from 9muses besides kyungri or someone from secret besides hyosung too. is secret still together anyway? ppl pretty much echoed my suspicions that they'll end up not eating for days after this show :/

[rightclick5ave.livejournal.com]

when the Kyungri announcement was made I was asking why Minha wasn't cast for this instead and then.. haha...... :l

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

aww :( hopefully she'll continue her solo career and do shows like this on her own

[arysthaeniru.livejournal.com]

This makes me sort of squeamish because i'm afraid they'll do it wrong? If it's like food review and stuff like that, like a travelling food review sort of thing with the girls I would be SO BEYOND DOWN but this seems...like it would not happen that way.

Also, does Jo Seho know someone in V app administration? That’s a couple of shows run by V app he's featured in.

Would have loved to see Hana or Jieun here instead of hyosung, because they also love food, but hyosung is the hot idol, I guess.

[audiograms.livejournal.com]

This is not going to end well.

[aleksu7.livejournal.com]

Look it might seem weird but you all have to see the bright side on it Seulgi, Kyungri, Jiho, Hyosung... all together on TV. THE VISUAL, PEOPLE! It will be heaven

Plus this girl getting some recognition, yas.

[chimpansee.livejournal.com]

This sounds like my kind of show minus Jo fucking Seho

[http://users.livejournal.com/reminisce__/]

This show is ridiculously sexist! Let's oggle at pretty thin girls eating when they are already likely to suffer from eating disorders and extreme management of their image, and etc. I'll need like a 5 page paper to go into why this is so problematic

[milkmp3.livejournal.com]

omfg MTE

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

i don't think it's good to assume that all of them have eating disorders but it definitely sends a message that only raelly thin people are allowed to eat on camera :/

[http://users.livejournal.com/reminisce__/]

Ah true, I deeply apologize for that, thanks for pointing it out! I wrote the comment hastily, but I think I meant to say that this contributes to an overall environment where eating disorders can be encouraged. It's weird to fetishize thin people for eating for so many reasons :( I also think about how mental health and body image are dismissed/promoted in SKorea and what this type of show will do to people.

If I had to watch thin people eat and be glorified for it, I'd feel so bad. It hits a nerve since I was primed to become bulimic, and was only dissuaded because I read body positivity books aimed for preteen girls when I was younger.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

yeah the issue is more that we're used to only seeing thin people being praised for eating. if this show had women of varying sizes then it would definitely be better. but i still think it's not ok to generalize because people have misconceptions that only really thin people have eating disorders, so they don't believe that bigger people can also have them, which can be invalidating. also even though a lot of idols talk about having eating disorders and are often encouraged by their company i still think that's a part of their private lives and speculating on it is not healthy unless they decide to share it themselves

[hurtmybones.livejournal.com]

keep Seho away from these girls...

[juhli.livejournal.com]

i just hope none of the girls will pick up unhealthy habits because of this eating show.

[lizanka23.livejournal.com]

i didn't read carefully before but jiho actually participated in an eating contest? that is so unhealthy :/ the things idols have to do for attention. i hope they don't have eating contests on this show too

[seulgibear.livejournal.com]

looking forward for seulgi to interact with all the girls. now throw seho to the dogs and bring in an all-woman mc cast. no men allowed tbh

[yohan94.livejournal.com]

im so happy jiho was cast, i hope she blows up

[callherblondie.livejournal.com]

Saw Jo Se Ho's name and immediately naw bruh, nothing will get me to watch this even though all these ladies are awesome. Hate him. I'm convinced he gets on so many shows because he entrapped Korean casting agents in shady dealings and got it on tape so he can blackmail them into casting him, because his entertainment value is zilch.
