Female singers have been talking about their concerns about weight.

The recently released trailer for SBS‘s ‘SBS Special - Body Mentor’ shows Kim Wan-sun, Han Seung-yeon, Jeon Hyo-seong, Soyou, and Hwa-sa confessing about their weight.

Jeon Hyo-seong said, “I felt a bit like, ’Do I have to lose that much weight to appear on camera? Why are those people walking with their arms crossed?‘” and expressed the pressure to diet. Han Seung-yeon said, “I think it’s my job to embody that look.”




Hwa Sa revealed her feelings after her diet, saying, “I took medicine and lost all the fat on my thighs. It feels like all of my unique charm just disappeared.”

The female singers spoke of their fat self-image as if they hated it. Soyou said, “I felt dirty when I looked at my (fat) body.” Jeon Hyo-seong confessed, “It was a series of binge eating, yo-yoing, and shame.” Hwa Sa also said, “All the emotions, including guilt and anger, just came rushing in.”



The broadcast will be on December 8th at 11:05 PM.
