UEE, the female Kang Ho Dong?

[xcherryblossomx.livejournal.com]

It seems like After School’s UEE was quite a hearty eater as a child.

On June 24th, the singer guested on SBS’s ‘Dalgona‘ alongside former baseball player, Yang Jun Hyuk, and had the opportunity to visit her hometown with the studio audience.

On the broadcast, UEE’s older sister, Kim Yoo Na, stated, “UEE over ate quite a bit. Usually, UEE would look for kimchi and pork belly as soon as she woke up. She was a part of the swimming department when she was in school, and she also ate a lot after practice. Two hamburgers were a given, and she even had dukbokgi (rice cakes) and ice cream for dessert.”

She continued, “The reason why UEE’s body is so fit is because she ate and exercised a lot as a child.” To this, UEE added, “I burned so many calories back then that I was able to get away with eating so much and not gain any weight.”

Meanwhile, the MCs jokingly asked, “Is UEE the female Kang Ho Dong?” which made the audience burst into laughter.

She'll have to gain 100 lbs and learn to make facial expressions first.

Meanwhile, in the rest of the world...

I wonder how it is like to eat whatever you want and not gain weight. I eat and feel/see the effect right away, even though I'm an extremely active person. It sucks :\

Maybe you should look into foods and teas that increase the speed of your metabolism!

What would you suggest? I'm up for anything that may help my metabolism out.

Drink a lot of green tea and water and eat apples, broccoli, citrus fruits, etc. The healthier you eat, the better your digestive system becomes!

yep i believe this 100% because most swimmers (on competitive teams) are the same. i myself used to burn at least 3000-5000 calories a day being a swimmer and water polo player, so i could virtually eat anything i wanted and never have to worry about weight. also, health experts/scientists have stated that aquatic athletes tend to crave tons of food after their work outs in comparison to dry-land athletes because we burn way more calories in a short span of time (about 1500 in 1 hour, and most practices are about 2 hours long, usually twice a day every day). it was great. but honestly...it's hard to adjust after that sort of lifestyle. when you're used to eating a lot and not really worrying about it, it's hard to balance and control yourself once your career is over. i gained weight when i stopped, and now i have to struggle/keep up with my diet to look good.

Of course it's swimming :)
And i bet she still exercices. She's shaped, healthy...

oh god yes yes yes

I actually had one asshole ask me if I just threw up my lunch after coming back from the bathroom. Ugh.

[mishane.livejournal.com]

nahhhh

She's one of the more ~healthy~ looking idols. Which is good. Not everyone should be as skinny as Gu Hara.

I don't think you're the world record holder for the most handshakes in 8 hours, hon. Kang Ho Dong, however, does hold that record.

When I was a teenager I was like that.. I could eat huge portions all the time and gain no weight. But then 23 happened and my metabolism vanished.

yeah, you're right
I mean even without having the same experience I do notice when I go to the beach that I spend the day craving food. swimming does that, what if it's your daily routine

UEE probably didn't have a problem keeping in shape after she stopped because we know that idols do train & exercice a lot
