Comedian Kim Shin-young had audiences gasping when she revealed a slimmer self on a recording of JTBC’s morning show “Park Kyeong-rim’s Oh! Happy Day.”
The entertainer, best known for her plump, comedic appearance, said she lost a total of 15 kilograms in just five months and currently weighs somewhere around 40 kilograms.
On the benefits of weight loss, Kim said, “Previously, I used to be easily irritated and tired after two hours with anyone. Now I’m full of energy.”
Kim also introduced her personal trainer through a video recording and revealed some diet tips.
“I bought a bikini with a character’s face on it. My motivation was to help the character return to his normal face instead of being stretched out on my body,” joked the 28-year-old entertainer.

Date: 2012-03-25 01:24 pm (UTC)but it was still liberating to have her around; she was after all a woman who could be purely a comedian and not an object of sorts. i'm a bit torn about this, tbh.

Date: 2012-03-26 01:04 pm (UTC)although none of that is actually relevant to what i said. most of her acts revolved around the fact that she was chubby, and i believe a person should be able to be fat without being reduced to some kind of joke. the choice of words in this article ticked me off.

I too hate how everyone merely commented on her weight, but I don't think she was just "chubby".

Date: 2012-03-26 06:02 pm (UTC)i think her round face fools the eye a bit (she still has it, you have to look at her neck and waist to tell that she slimmed down).

Date: 2012-03-27 10:20 pm (UTC)But what is so terrible about her being obese? She was obviously to big for her body type. Do we have to be this PC about it? I don't think she should be made fun of for it, but losing weight and getting in a healthy range is certainly not a negative for her, especially with her health.

You have to take her height into consideration.

Date: 2012-03-25 01:59 pm (UTC)Either way, health related or pure vanity, I hope she did it for herself.
It's still sad that losing weight seems to garner you more praise and respect. Especially from people who treated you like crap when you were fat...
