GFRIEND‘s Umji opened up about her weight loss journey and the secrets to her keeping the weight off! She first confessed that she lost about 8~9kg since her debut days.
Compared to when I weighed the most, I lost about 8~9kg (17.6~19.8lbs). I think people think I lost more weight because I lost a lot of my baby fat.
People tell me that I got pretty and that they always thought of me as a baby but were surprised to see a new image.

She confessed that in order to lose weight, she thought it was best to not eat anything. But now she knows that it’s okay to eat as long as she’s choosing healthy options!
In the past, I thought it was just better to not eat. But when I get hungry, I eat healthy snacks. When you chew on something, you get less hungry.
