Yoon Bo-mi reflects on past extreme weight loss, noting she "looked too sick"

Yoon Bo-mi of the group Apink has shared her honest feelings regarding a period when she maintained an extremely thin physique. Recalling that she heard comments such as "you looked better when you were heavier" and "you look sick," she admitted that looking back, her excessively thin appearance did not look healthy.

On the 7th, a video titled "We will judge whether the members are guilty or innocent" was released on Yoon Bo-mi's YouTube channel. Alongside Apink members Oh Ha-young and Kim Nam-joo, Yoon Bo-mi engaged in candid conversations, listening to various stories and determining "guilty" or "innocent" verdicts based on their own standards.

The first scenario involved a person who witnessed clear evidence of a friend's partner cheating but chose to stay silent to avoid hurting the friend or causing unnecessary misunderstanding. Yoon Bo-mi judged this as "guilty," while Kim Nam-joo and Oh Ha-young chose "innocent."

Yoon Bo-mi expressed her stance, stating, "I think if it is a friend I truly cherish, I should tell them." While Oh Ha-young also agreed that telling a friend the truth is correct, she explained why she made a different judgment based on actual experience.

“If it were my friend, I would definitely tell them. However, there are friends among my circle who cannot hear what I tell them,” Oh Ha-young revealed. “I have had this actual experience. It was quite a while ago, but I told them, 'This man did this kind of thing, so I hope you are careful,' and they cut me off.” She shared the bitter experience of trying to convey the truth for a friend, only to have the relationship distance itself.

The next scenario involved telling a friend, who had successfully achieved a difficult goal of losing 10kg, that "you looked better before." Upon hearing the story, Oh Ha-young reacted firmly with "guilty," and Yoon Bo-mi agreed, saying, "This is guilty." She pointed out that the very statement that someone was "pretty before, not just now" feels unpleasant, noting that evaluations of body changes can be hurtful to the person involved.

During the discussion, Yoon Bo-mi confessed that she had received similar comments herself in the past. Recalling the time, she said, "I lost so much weight during 'Dilemma' that people said, 'You look sick' or 'You looked better when you were heavier.'" She added candidly, "Thinking about it now, I can see why. I did look too sick."

The "Dilemma" mentioned by Yoon Bo-mi refers to the period when Apink performed the song through various stages and music programs. Having appeared with a much thinner physique at that time, she experienced various evaluations from those around her, and now, with the passage of time, she showed the composure to look back objectively at her past self.

Recalling Yoon Bo-mi's appearance at that time, Oh Ha-young empathized, saying, "That was true." However, she added, "Since I know [the weight] will return as soon as 'Dilemma' ends anyway (so you shouldn't say it)," drawing laughter. The conversation regarding sensitive evaluations of body shape continued amidst the members' honest experiences and playful reactions.
