Secret talk about their diets and fashion!

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

SECRET’s “Starlight Moonlight” concept is most definitely a sweet, feminine one that calls for a skinnier figure than most concepts. Naturally, and like other girl groups, the ladies are undergoing strict dieting, with the only exception being Sunday, where they’re allowed to eat whatever they wish.

They revealed, “On Sunday afternoon, we conclude a week’s worth of music programs after SBS’s ‘Inkigayo.’ After dieting all week long, we’re allowed to eat whatever we want for dinner on Sunday night, and then we starve again. Our manager makes sure that there are sandwiches before we get on the ‘Inkigayo’ stage. The minute we get off stage, we have a sandwich in our mouths.”

So how did they achieve their healthy, slim figures? Check it out below!

 

–

▶ Song Ji Eun (21, 160 cm, 45 kg)

The secret to Song Ji Eun’s exercise is that she repeats the choreography for “Magic” and “Madonna” 20 times each. The studio is only five minutes from their dorm in Hannam-dong so she dances and then concludes with a video on “Lee Sora’s Dieting Tips.”

“Before, we used to fast, but that brought about a vertigo effect. In the end, we realized that exercising was the best.”

The members chose her lips as her charm point since it has the perfect reddish tint that helps her look lively even without make up. When asked to choose a feature on her face that they liked the most, they chose her nose. “My nose bridge isn’t high, but it fits her face perfectly. It’s all natural but people still think she got it done. It must be because my mom molded it by touching it a lot when I was little.”

As for what she wears and carries around, she revealed that she doesn’t care about brand names and prefers casual brands like H&M. Her biggest worry lately is her damaged hair because of the drastic style changes she’s undergone with each comeback. ”They’re damaged all the way to the roots so I have to use extensions these days. I’m really jealous of people with shiny hair.”

▶ Han Sunhwa (21, 165 cm, 46 kg)

Sunhwa is known for her clear, beautiful skin, which the members chose as her #1 charm point.  “Make up for TV shows is too thick so I usually don’t wear make up outside of work in order to let my skin rest. I don’t manage my skin in any particular way but I do make sure to moisturize it often.”

Right before their “Starlight Moonlight” comeback, Sunhwa became an exercise fanatic. 

“When we’re promoting our album, there’s a lot of wait times so we’re sitting in our cars a lot. I felt like I was gaining weight around my hips so I started to climb mountains. I climbed whenever I wanted to about four times a week.”

For breakfast, she’ll have a banana, milk, and bean dduk, and for lunch, egg whites and chicken salad. For dunner, she’ll have a simple salad. Her complex is her large forehead. “Other girls like Goo Hara have a lot of baby hairs on their forehead so it’s cute, but I have to shadow it in.”

▶ Zinger (21, 161 cm, 48 kg)

Zinger underwent the strictest dieting before their comeback. She lost 6 kg in a week by drinking just water for a week because her larger hips and legs were her biggest concerns.

“On stage, I saw one of the audience members tell me to screw off stage. I was really hurt by that so I was determined to lose weight. After starving and going through strict rehearsals, I began to get dizzy. I looked in the mirror after about a week and noticed that I had dark circles all the way up to my chin so I began eating again then.”

Zinger, like the rapper she is, enjoys hip hop fashion and also likes collecting hats. She has over 30 New Era hats, and because her company doesn’t allow the girls to go out without permission, she (as well as the others) buys everything online.

“Without missing a day, we always get something shipped to us. On off days, we open all of the boxes.”

▶ Jun Hyosung (22, 160 cm, 45 kg)

Hyosung’s cute, baby-like looks has ranked her as one of the most youthful looking idols. Still, Sunhwa chose Hyosung’s “enviable butt line” as her charm point. “I’m really jealous of unni’s hip line. When I look at her come out of the shower, she really has a curvy waist and voluminous butt. She’s a true S-line.”

Because she likes beans, she diets with soybean milk and tofu and considers dance rehearsals as the best form of exercise.

Her complex? Her big, ugly feet. She wears 240 mm and isn’t able to wear strap sandals or heels with complex designs.

Hyosung’s also known for having once been the member of ‘Five Girls‘. The final member, Yang Jiwon, is currently preparing for debut under Lee Hyori’s agency. “I didn’t think we’d all be debuting separately and promoting away from each other like now. When the group first disbanded, everything looked so dark and bleak to me… I hope we can do a special ‘Five Girls’ stage at a year-end ceremony some day.”

Skipping all the diet "tips" and posted weights and whatever...

Her big, ugly feet. She wears 240 mm

;~; 245 mm and I'm shorter than that bawww.
But it's easy to find cute 245 and even 250 size shoes in Korea, so idk what she's even talking about.

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

lol that's like a US 7? I would like to show these girls my feet and horrify them.

who lied and told them they were pretty enough to give people tips?

I missed your presence in OMONA tbqh..

[clayray3290.livejournal.com]

Haters to the left. Zinger, you're fabulous.

[icedfaerie1.livejournal.com]

Since when is 240mm a big foot?

[kanghodong.livejournal.com]

my feet are 260. there's no way i'd ever find shoes in korea

[noneko.livejournal.com]

and then we starve again

healthy, slim figures

One of these things is not like the other...

[frightenedbunny.livejournal.com]

secret is gonna turn into 4 yuri clones

[fallingstarryuu.livejournal.com]

I am scared for this ;_;

[feel-my-mind.livejournal.com]

Because drinking just water for a week is healthy. There so many better ways to lose weight and be healthy.....

Oh, and those are the same weights used for every other group out there.


I happen to think my 240mm feet are prefect. ♥

[eccentricvibe.livejournal.com]

Basically.

[erbalurbal.livejournal.com]

They have a really warped sense of nutrition and body image. Sitting down for an hour in between activities won't make your hips fat. starving yourself until you are dizzy and having dark circles? what??

[jaded-skys.livejournal.com]

ikr? if you only drink water for a week then go back to eating it doesn't matter what you eat, your body will automatically try and turn it into fat because you're STARVING YOURSELF and your body will try and store up as much as it can. Which is why people who do eat less/don't eat for a while might lose weight, but they'll gain back double once they go back to eating normally. It's so stupidly unhealthy. The only way to lose weight is to eat, which not eating will make you gain more once you get back to eating.

[oldwillow-brook.livejournal.com]

But to be honest I'd rather have Zinger's body than Sunhwa's. At least Zinger looks like she's eaten with the last 6 months.

But I mean really at least they tried the really really dumb way first and then they realized oh we can achieve the same method by doing something healthier.

Eat little more often will get you where you want to go. Eat a lot and eat it less makes you more likely to gain weight.

[feel-my-mind.livejournal.com]

But to be honest I'd rather have Zinger's body than Sunhwa's. At least Zinger looks like she's eaten with the last 6 months.

Which is ironic, becuase Zinger sounds like she into starving herself, while Sunhwa has a healthy diet, a healthy way of working out (mountain climbing 4 times a week) and probably is naturally thin. You can never stereotype like that.

[vitaminbaby.livejournal.com]

because it's normal in korea to starve, it's just another way of diet

[djlancerock.livejournal.com]

this is a really sad article.

[vivafreedom.livejournal.com]

Well this is depressing.

[lasthenia.livejournal.com]

I hate when this type of article comes out and they're just talking about it like it's nothing... that's really not healthy :(
Starving for 6 days and eating to make up for it all during one day sounds like a good way to fuck up your metabolism

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

ugh i fucking hate articles like that, glamorizing idol starvation.

and i feel bad for the girls and their hair.

brb going fact to the miss a dorm article so i can feel better.

[lysblack.livejournal.com]

and hyosung, stop playing with my heart with the five girls reunion ;-;

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

She lost 6 kg in a week by drinking just water for a week because her larger hips and legs were her biggest concerns.


D:

“I’m really jealous of unni’s hip line. When I look at her come out of the shower, she really has a curvy waist and voluminous butt. She’s a true S-line.”


Oh.

[shonen-key.livejournal.com]

Oh, and I want their Madonna era back :(

[lazmy.livejournal.com]

Hyosung, I wear an 8 1/2-9 so call me when you start to get up to my big foot status kthnx

I have a problem about being really obsessive with numbers/weight, so I couldn't read the full article but what I did read was really sad. They have beautiful bodies and I'd hate for them to turn into what Yuri looks like now

[haymitch.livejournal.com]

i can't even lie. this article is so so sad. especially zinger's portion. just... they have seriously warped ideas on body image.

[voleur.livejournal.com]

tbh 95% of korea does

[donutism.livejournal.com]

Well, it seems like starving yourself in Korea is perfectly okay.....

What's wrong with actually having hips?

[voleur.livejournal.com]

IF YOU HAVE HIPS YOU LOOK LIKE *GASP* A GROWN WOMANNN
GOD FORBID...

[jela-ow.livejournal.com]

idk, it worked with my nose lol. My nose bridge got higher because my mom made me pinch it 100 times a day when I was young. Well, at least, I think it did lol

[lainmyownworld.livejournal.com]

lol okay.

[shisukachan.livejournal.com]

They are all beautiful girls with great bodies. I'd rather you be healthy than starve yourself to be skinny so that you can appeal to people who idealize that "perfect" image of stick-skinny, flaw-free women.

Seriously, I think I would cry or break down if I ever moved to Korea and had to face the pressure to achieve a perfect appearance.

[saoirseangel.livejournal.com]

As much as I like these girls, I swear Secret articles are always depressing. Either its about them not eating enough or not being allowed to have contact with the outside world.

I'm hoping its just the translation but their reasoning for going back to eating aren't like, 'we realized it was unhealthy in every way to starve ourselves' its 'I was getting dark circles' and 'we started getting dizzy'.

Why do these types or articles count starving as a diet? Starvation is not a diet!

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

What's so disappointing is that they always looked like the healthiest idols to me, because during Madonna (with the exception of Sunhwa) they all looked full-figured and banging. If these girls, with their weight, are still struggling with starvation techniques, I can't even imagine idol girls who are so much thinner than them...
