WJSN Dayoung Reveals Reason for Dropping to 43kg: 'I Want to Be a Global Pop Star'

WJSN's Dayoung revealed her current weight and her role models.

On the 10th, during the MBC entertainment program 'Radio Star', WJSN's Dayoung disclosed that her current weight is 43kg.

On this day, Dayoung appeared as a guest alongside god member Park Jun Hyung, Jonathan Yiombi, and Jeong Il-young. She stated, "When preparing for my solo career, I wanted to enhance my visuals, so I worked hard on exercising and lost 12kg before appearing here."

When Kim Gu Ra asked about her previous weight, she replied, "My current average is 43kg. I hadn't gained much before this either." Kim Gu Ra expressed surprise, noting that since she was 55kg before, it wasn't a massive amount of weight to lose.

Dayoung explained her decision to diet, saying, "I lost 1kg per month for one year. That thought came to me: 'I am going to become a global pop star in the future; can I run for two or three hours with this level of physical strength?' I thought I should make my body lighter to achieve that. That way, I can feel light while dancing and be comfortable while singing."

Kim Gu Ra acknowledged her reasoning, saying, "You lost it in a healthy way." Additionally, Dayoung revealed, "My role models are singer Lee Hyo-ri, Jewelry member Seo In Young, singer and actress Jeon Hye-bin, and ballerina Chun Moo Stephanie Kim."
