Meanwhile, YoonA, who is known to have an innately slim body, worked hard not to lose weight, but to gain weight.
In September, she revealed that the reason she put on the weight was because of her job, saying:
“They told me that I look good because I look healthy, so I want to show a different image in my next works.
I try to work out hard to pay more attention to my appearance and change it, so I eat a lot of it very well. I eat a lot of late night snacks because I have a lot of shooting nights. I tried to improve it a bit for the next job and I succeeded.”
