Yunji reveals secret to losing 4kg in one week

Singer and actress Yunji has revealed how she lost 4kg in just one week. To prepare for an upcoming shoot, she embarked on short-term weight management by combining fasted exercise, dietary control, and intermittent fasting.

On the 23rd, a video titled “-4kg in one week | I can't believe I'm doing this again” was released on Yunji's YouTube channel. In the video, Yunji explained that she struggled with weight management due to disrupted eating habits during her stay in the United States, saying, “I ate a lot of unhealthy food in the US.”

After showing her slightly protruding stomach and joking, “People might think I'm pregnant,” she restarted her diet, noting, “I have an important shoot in 1–2 weeks, and I don't know how much I'll be able to lose.”

Following this, Yunji combined home workouts with strict dietary management. By the fifth day of her diet, she noted, “My body definitely feels lighter,” while checking her increasingly defined abdominal muscles. The video also captured her managing dieting stress by incorporating a cheat day.

As a result, her weight dropped from 51kg at the start of the diet to 47kg. Although her original goal was to lose 3kg, she ultimately reduced her weight by 4kg.

Yunji cited fasted exercise as the key to her success. “I think fasted exercise was definitely helpful,” she explained, noting that she ran for approximately 30 minutes in a fasted state before performing strength training and stretching.

She also restricted her meals to specific time windows. She stated that she had cleanse juice and supplements in the morning, followed by two healthy meals between noon and 6 PM. She added that she practiced intermittent fasting by maintaining long fasting periods.

However, losing several kilograms in a short period can vary greatly depending on an individual's food intake, hydration levels, and exercise volume. Since weight changes over a short period do not necessarily indicate a reduction in body fat, experts suggest that sustainable management tailored to an individual's health is more important than excessive weight loss.

Yunji began her career as a singer in 2009 under the name NS Yoonji before expanding into acting. In 2021, she married comedian Lee Sang-hae, the son of traditional Korean musician Kim Young-im, and she currently has a daughter. Recently, she has been expanding her career as a singer, actress, and creator.

The video garnered significant attention for providing a realistic look at Yunji's dieting process as she prepares for her upcoming professional commitments.
