Mijoo, a member of Lovelyz, has caused controversy and raised concerns after disclosing her dangerous diet.
Since 2021, Mijoo has been a member of the popular variety show “Hangout With Yoo.”Her role on the show has made her a well-known figure in South Korea, as many appreciate her candid demeanor and comedic abilities. Mijoo is unafraid to break away from her idol image, which has further endeared her to audiences.
Nevertheless, the idol’s recent reveal during an episode has sparked backlash and raised concern among viewers.
During a car ride with her fellow cast members, Mijoo brought up the topic of diets. She disclosed that she typically doesn’t eat anything in the morning and it takes her several hours before she finally has a meal, resulting in her mostly working on an empty stomach.

The cast members were all taken aback by this revelation, including those who are typically known for their small appetites. They were surprised to learn that she only consumed one light meal per day.
Despite not being the first idol to expose the harmful diet methods they employ to stay slim, Mijoo still faced backlash from netizens after her revelation. Concerns were raised that her young and susceptible followers might attempt to emulate her diet, potentially resulting in eating disorders or malnourishment.
There were also those who questioned the decision to broadcast this segment on national television, as they felt it should have been edited out to discourage others from trying to replicate Mijoo’s diet.
Despite some expressing concern for Mijoo’s well-being, others worry about the potential pressure she may face to maintain her figure as a femme fatale idol, as she has always been known for her slender physique.
