Extreme dieting among K-pop idols has become common knowledge. Beauty standards in Korea have made most female idols compete to go on a diet to have perfect body proportions. Former Lovelyz member, Lee Mijoo, recently revealed the extreme diet she did, triggering worried reactions from fans and netizens.
In the show 'Hangout With Yoo', Lee Mijoo revealed that when she wakes up in the morning, she doesn't eat anything. It took him several hours to finally eat something, which meant he often went on an empty stomach. Furthermore, Lee Mijoo revealed that she would not eat anything until 4 pm and only drink water.
When she finally eats around 5 p.m., the female idol will only order a salad. Even though Lee Mijoo is not the first idol to reveal the dangerous diet practices they use to maintain their body shape, this still leaves netizens amazed and worried.
Netizens stated that if something like this was shown on television, young people would be easily influenced if they heard about it and decide to imitate Lee Mijoo's diet, which could lead to eating disorders or malnutrition. Some people expressed concern for Mijoo's physical and mental health.
She always looked thin, and many wondered if she was under pressure to maintain her figure due to her status as a K-pop idol. Meanwhile, Lee Mijoo debuted with the girl group Lovelyz under Woollim Entertainment in 2014. After leaving Woollim Entertainment, she switched to becoming a soloist under the Antenna agency and released the solo album 'Movie Star' in 2023.
Apart from being active in music, Lee Mijoo is also active in various variety shows, such as 'Hit The Stage', 'Dunia: Into a New World', 'Sixth Sense', 'Hangout with Yoo', and the second season of 'Learn Way'. Now, fans hope that Lee Mijoo will pay more attention to her health by adopting a regular diet and not going on a diet that is harmful to her body.
