3 Kpop idols whose diets were extremely unhealthy including BTS’ Jimin

The Kpop idols have spoken up several times about the unhealthy diets they went through and they have even shared stories of restricting what they eat to extreme levels. Fortunately, the Kpop industry has changed a lot and diets aren’t common nowadays to fit into a standard. However, these are three Kpop idols who were in danger due to their unhealthy diet.

1. 1. 1. TWICE’s Momo: Her fans, better known as Once, still find themselves in a hard time when they find pictures of the idol pre-debut. Before her debut, JYP Entertainment told her that she had to lose 15 pounds in a matter of a week, which became one of the most unhealthy and extreme dates in the industry. It is being said that she only ate ice cubes and worked out hard.
      2. EXO’s Xiumin: Usually, the general public thinks about female Kpop idols when it comes to extreme diets, but they are completely wrong. Xiumin was harshly criticized from the start of his career due to his weight. Ultimately, the idol struggled with his weight and started to lose and gain weight rapidly at the time, a condition often called “yo-yoing” in South Korea.
      3. BTS’ Jimin: Although the idol is not the only member of BTS who has struggled with his weight and subsequently, with poor diets, he is the one on the most extreme diets among all the members. During a short interview in 2018, the idol revealed he lost a large amount of weight due to over-exercising and an extreme diet. The other members even were worried he could pass out during practices. In the episode of “Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,” he explained he didn’t like his chubby appearance, and started eating nothing at all except for one meal over 10 days. Fortunately, history is behind and the idol is doing better now.
