IU Chews a Single Piece of Gimbap for 30 Minutes — The Secret to Maintaining 44kg
IU's extraordinary eating habits were exposed when a co-star revealed she chewed one piece of gimbap for over 30 minutes, the secret to her 44kg weight.
Singer and actress IU's remarkable eating habits have been revealed.
On the 11th, behind-the-scenes footage of SBS Love FM's 'Yoo Min-sang's Hungry Radio' was posted on the SBS Radio Erao YouTube channel. Son Jun-ho shared an anecdote from his special appearance in the MBC Friday-Saturday drama '21st Century Daegun Buin', during which he had his makeup done in the same space as IU.
He said, "IU sat next to me and got her makeup done. I'm such a big fan, so I said, 'Hello, I'm a fan,' and she just replied, 'Oh~.' I thought to myself, 'Why is she being shy around me?'" expressing his puzzlement at her reaction.
He then spoke about IU's surprising eating habits, saying, "It was mealtime, and IU was eating gimbap. She kept munching away for over 30 minutes, so I thought, 'She eats more than I expected.'"
But there was a twist. He revealed, "When she got up and left later, the gimbap was still there, barely touched. She had put a single piece of gimbap in her mouth and had been chewing on it the entire time."
Kim So-hyun exclaimed in surprise, "She chewed on a single piece of gimbap for a full 30 minutes?" and DJ Yoo Min-sang also reacted with disbelief.
IU is well known in the entertainment industry as someone who eats very little. She appeared on a content program last year and revealed, "Once I put food in my mouth, I think I chew about 150 times." Her weight is approximately 44kg. The secret, it seems, lies in her truly unique eating habits.
