Jung Chae Yeon had a tortuous journey as an idol, where she debuted twice, as a member of DIA (II) and IOI. Who would have thought, the idol had to go to extremes by reducing her body weight by 16 kg in order to debut.
Before turning to acting, Jung Chae Yeon debuted as a member of the girl group DIA in 2015. The "Very Very Very" singer revealed that she lost 16 kg to debut as an idol.
On the program "Video Star" MBC Every 1, Jung Chae Yeon's elementary school graduation photo was released. The 1997-born singer revealed her weight, saying, "Back then I weighed 64kg. Now I weigh 48kg."
Also, when asked if he had any experience of extreme dieting in an interview, the idol said, "Before my debut, I mainly ate legume products like soy milk and tofu. When the diet block happened, I only ate salad without dressing."
"I ate a packet of salad a day for about three months, and when the day I had to check my weight came, I ate a bag of Job's Tears tea without water by dividing the powder bit by bit. I can't do that lately because of problems with my health. ," he continued, emphasizing that extreme dieting was putting his health at risk.
Meanwhile, Jung Chae Yeon is continuing her acting career and raising expectations for her first historical drama. The singer stars in "The King's Affection" which airs on KBS 2TV every Monday-Tuesday.
Jung Chae Yeon made her acting debut by starring in tvN's "Drinking Solo". Next, he also appeared in a series of other dramas such as SBS's "Reunited Worlds", "Marry Me Now" and KBS2's "To. Jenny", as well as the Netflix drama "My First First Love". (wk/goddess)
