Nine Muses’ Sera reveals she lost 20 kg + shares dieting tips for all the fat haters

[jeit91.livejournal.com]

Nine Muses‘ Sera recently caught the attention of fans and netizens for her slimmer physique with the group’s “Figaro” comeback.


As it turned out, she was revealed to have undergone a drastic image change with a 20 kg weight loss since her trainee days. A representative of Star Empire explained, “Sera said that she weighed over 70 kg when she first began training three years ago due to stress. She’s been dieting ever since then and lost over 20 kg. She lost about 6 to 7 kg during Nine Muses’ hiatus alone.”


So what’s the secret to her diet? A lot of exercise and food control, says Sera.


She revealed that she drank a powder drink of mixed grains the minute she got up in order to curb the tendency to binge on an empty stomach, and did aerobic exercises and weight training at the gym for an hour. She also made sure to drink protein shakes for her weight training sessions. Sera stressed the importance of snacking healthily like drinking a cup of milk because it’s easier to binge when hungry.

Seoul mayor issues ultimatum in bid to limit free school lunches

[unreal.livejournal.com]

In what some critics are calling theatrics, Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon has threatened to quit if South Korean voters don't go along with his proposal to curb what he calls 'welfare populism.'

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon, left, greets supporters during a campaign to limit free lunches to poor students

Call it astute politicking or a career-damaging blunder, a case of bad acting and brinkmanship rarely seen even in a nation known for its emotional roundhouse-punch politics.

Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon wants to limit free school lunches to poor children and take students from wealthy families out of the gratis cafeteria line. And he warns that if voters don't back his agenda in a Wednesday referendum, he's going to quit his post.

Or, as critics put it, collect his marbles in a huff and stalk off the playground.

On a South Korean isle, a life of squid fishing is slipping away

[unreal.livejournal.com]

A widow who peddles the dried delicacy worries about the character of Ulleungdo as the squid catch declines and her island turns into a tourist attraction.

Kim Yae-sun, 72, sells dried squid on the South Korean island of Ulleungdo.

Kim Yae-sun will tell you straight out: The squid life is a hard life.

For the 72-year-old widow, who peddles the sea creatures from a waterside stand here, it means rising at 4:30 a.m. and going to church to pray for an ample catch. When her fisherman husband was still alive, she asked God to watch over the squid fleet that heads out to sea each night, the boats strung with lines of light bulbs like Christmas garlands.

In the 10 years since his death, her prayers have changed: Even though the squid life hasn't been easy, she worries about the survival of the industry on Ulleungdo, an island 75 miles off South Korea's eastern coast known as the squid capital of the country.

[empressmaruja.livejournal.com]

MANILA, Philippines -- The first-ever “high-five” experience in the country happens when Kim Hyun Joong visits the country in The Hi-Five Touch Event on Aug. 25 at the TriNoma Activity Center to promote his brand new album “Break down,” distributed by PolyEast Records.

All music fans have to do is buy a copy of “Break down” at the event through Astroplus after which a special lotte card will be issued and exchanged for a High 5 touch pass issued by TriNoma. Note that there will be no ticket selling, no autograph signing, no meet & greet nor picture-taking but just a simple “gimme me five” up-close and personal moment with Kim Hyun Joong.
