On May 10th, Tiffany, Taeyeon, and Jessica opened up about Girls’ Generation‘s meal plans and the truth about the weights and heights listed on their profiles on KBS‘s ‘Happy Together 3‘.
The trio was asked to name a member who had a different weight than listed on her profile. The members replied honestly that Sooyoung, standing at 5’6″ (170 cm) tall, weighs at 106 pounds (48 kg), while YoonA, at 5’5″ (168 cm), weighs 48 kg as well.
Jessica and Taeyeon confessed, “Our profiles say we weigh 99 pounds (45 kg), but it’s actually give or take one or two kg.” Tiffany added, “I’m honestly at around 101 to 103.6 pounds (46 to 47 kg).”
When asked how they maintained their weight, Taeyeon replied, “We don’t go on any special diets. I think our natural diets adjusted to our promotional cycles. We also don’t take time off to exercise. We’d probably faint while running.”
On the topic of the group’s meal plans, Tiffany stated, “The meal plan that headlined in the media is only for the members who work out actively. It’s not for all of us. They’re usually only for the members who are doing extra activities like dramas to maintain a certain image. If all of us ate like that, it’d be difficult to promote at the level that we do.”
Netizens commented, “They’re all so skinny,” “Sooyoung and YoonA have daebak bodies,” and “Tiffany’s more honest than I expected.”

Date: 2012-05-12 01:17 am (UTC)Maybe its because that is right were my weight falls. I suppose it strange, but I've always wanted to know. Not to mention, jpop got me obsessed with weight a long time ago. XD (
BUT none of you should be beating you up over your weight, you're all beautiful. A lot of it has to do with frame size and that is all genetics. Just work on being a healthy weight for you. :))

Date: 2012-05-12 01:31 am (UTC)LOL.
IRL for an average, skinny south korean girl in their 20's trying to weight under 50KG is still not an easy task, unless they are really really short. Like very short (from my own experience at least)
It's ridiculous tbh, in Korea you get side-eyed if you weight over 100 pounds. I remember when I told my krn friends my weight was 59KG and they were like "OMG WHY ARE U SAYING THAT ALOUD YOU WON'T GET A BOYFRIEND OMG NOEZZZ" It was really funny but also they made me feel like I was a whale even though I'm perfectly normal, giving my type of body and such. Oh well.
I love Tiffany's hair though! I wish I could pull of that color.

Date: 2012-05-12 02:10 am (UTC)I'm actually trying to gain weight, but in a healthy way (vs going to town on doughnuts), because I want to get back into that 99-103 lbs range. Being 97 lbs at 5'1" is not malnourished, but it's slightly underweight, and it's better to have a few lbs to cushion, just in case.

Date: 2012-05-12 04:00 am (UTC)I remember meeting the Wonder Girls, I was actually surprised. They all looked somewhat more healthy than I expected, except for Sohee and Yubin. But they were definitely shorter than what they claim to be!
