(G)I-DLE’s Yuqi Reveals CUBE Trainees’ Dieting Method, “They Printed Our Weights & Posted In Front Of Office”
On July 12th, the YouTube channel “Zip Daesung” uploaded a new video featuring the guest appearance of (G)I-DLE’s Yuqi.
Daesung asked about Yuqi’s whereabouts and wondered, “Are you on a diet these days?”. Yuqi said, “Maybe it’s because I’m getting older but I don’t gain weight easily. This is really surprising to me too. I used to be the type that would gain weight even by just drinking water. But lately, I don’t gain weight easily. I think my appetite has decreased a bit”, adding “As a trainee, we had to weigh ourselves every Saturday”.
Surprised to hear that, Daesung asked, “What? Do you weigh yourselves every week?”. Yuqi replied, “But I heard that YG makes you weigh yourselves daily, from Miyeon?”.
Daesung commented, “We don’t know. It seems like female trainees had to weigh”, adding “Because, like, Bom would secretly eat bread in the corner”. Yuqi reacted, “I totally understand that. We would secretly eat in the dressing room. Thinking back, it was really pitiful”.
Daesung then asked Yuqi about her tips on dieting, saying “So you must be a pro at losing weight by now. So what was the most effective method?”.
In response, Yuqi said, “It was during Chuseok. Everyone would gain a lot of weight. But they printed a list and posted it in front of the office, like ‘Yuqi XXkg’. Back then, there were our seniors too. Pentagon and Hyuna were there. Also, BTOB seniors could all see it.”
She continued, “I lost 5kg in 3 days back then. Until I met the standard given to me, it’s posted up. I thought that was really amazing about our company. I still remember my weight from then after coming back from Chuseok”, adding “I ate almost nothing to lose it. I wanted to take down the printout quickly”
Meanwhile, (G)I-DLE is carrying out promotional activities for their comeback song “Klaxon”.
