Ralral loses 10kg but still labeled 'obese': 'It's packed'

Influencer Ralral has revealed her InBody test results following a 10kg weight loss. While her weight has decreased noticeably, the test results still indicated 'obese,' which Ralral disclosed herself, accepting it with her signature humorous tone. This has drawn attention to the fact that changes in body weight and body composition analysis results do not necessarily move in the same direction.

On the 13th, Ralral posted her InBody test sheet on her SNS with the caption, "Finally standard." In the test results, she drew red circles to emphasize the sections marked as 'standard.' However, looking closer at the sheet, the 'obese' category was also marked.

Ralral did not miss this part. She added a short phrase below the photo, "But obese," drawing laughter. She self-deprecatingly joked about the situation where she felt the joy of confirming a 'standard' result from her weight loss, while other body composition indicators still showed 'obese.'

In the second photo, she prominently marked the area where her abdominal fat ratio was measured high and wrote, "It's packed." Rather than hiding her physical measurements, she utilizes them as content material. Instead of excessively beautifying her diet results or presenting a specific number as the absolute standard of success, she caught attention by turning the test results themselves into humor.

Ralral revealed that she recently succeeded in losing 10kg, dropping from 77kg to 67kg. She stated, "I don't do things like Mounjaro or Wegovy. Didn't I quit drinking through my own willpower? I feel very proud and accomplished."

The core of her weight loss process was lifestyle changes rather than medication or extreme short-term methods. Ralral explained that she combined exercise, running, and Pilates while abstaining from alcohol for three months. In particular, she expressed significant achievement in losing weight through lifestyle habits she chose herself.

However, the classifications of 'standard' or 'obese' shown in an InBody test are not concepts intended to define an individual's entire health status with a single word. InBody analyzes body composition based on various factors, including not only weight but also body fat mass, skeletal muscle mass, body fat percentage, and abdominal-related indicators. Some values can also vary depending on hydration levels, meals, or whether exercise was performed at the time of measurement.

Therefore, the fact that weight has decreased by 10kg and the fact that certain body composition indicators are still outside the standard range can both be true at the same time. The test results disclosed by Ralral are not matters to be accepted as a medical diagnosis that confirms a disease or health condition. Rather, it is closer to an example showing that body composition can continue to change even after significant weight loss.

For Ralral, weight loss does not only mean a change in appearance. She stated that she practiced both abstinence from alcohol and exercise during the diet process, focusing on changing her lifestyle itself. In particular, since she changed not only the number on the scale but also her physical activity levels and exercise habits by combining running and Pilates, it differs in nature from typical 'lost X kg' content.

Recently, she has even expanded the diet process itself into a new character. On the 10th, Ralral revealed her new alter ego, a Pilates instructor named 'Bok Choy.' In the released photos, she presented a concept reminiscent of a Pilates instructor in workout clothes, and her changed physical image also drew attention.

Ralral's strength lies in her ability to reprocess her reality into characters and content. Having gained fame through internet broadcasting, she has expanded her field of activity through exaggerated expressions, situational acting, and unique character performances, as well as her singing ability. Her personal channel has also grown into a major creator, securing 1.93 million subscribers.

Her broadcasting history contains unexpected details. Ralral has previously revealed that she dreamed of being a musical actress in her childhood and entered the Department of Performing Arts at Incheon National University, but had to stop her studies due to difficult family circumstances. Later, she showcased her talent and acting skills to the public through the new path of internet broadcasting and has established herself as a creator active on various platforms, including YouTube.

As such, for Ralral, the 'body' is not just an object of appearance but also a means of expression that constitutes her content. In the past, her increased weight became a hot topic, leading to speculation regarding her private life.

Last May, she posted a photo holding her first child while wearing a loose dress, directly addressing rumors of a 'second pregnancy' directed at her. At the time, Ralral expressed, "My belly is more prominent than when I was full-term," and shared an anecdote about being asked by a stranger if her belly was for a "second trip.""

Following her 10kg weight loss and exercise regimen, her new persona as a Pilates instructor is transforming her physical image into a new content asset. Rather than viewing this simply as "improving appearance" or "escaping obesity," it is best understood as her unique way of using lifestyle changes to build a narrative and character.

Ralral married a non-celebrity 11 years her senior in February 2024 and has a daughter. Even after marriage and childbirth, she continues her broadcasting activities, naturally incorporating her daily life, physical changes, and parenting into her content.

This recent InBody disclosure follows the same pattern. Instead of merely emphasizing the 10kg loss, she showed the conflicting 'standard' and 'obese' results, using her signature humor to address her abdominal fat ratio. This highlights that weight loss and body composition changes do not always happen at the same pace.
