아 엽떡 옆에서 곯아떨어진 거예요?

💡 Wait, didn't they just grind through 130 reps of planks, crunches, jumping jacks, lunges and jump squats?
엽떡 = 엽기떡볶이 (Yeopgi Tteokbokki), Korea's most infamous late-night delivery — blazing-hot rice cakes basically built for post-workout guilt binges.vs. the US: like finishing a HIIT class then ordering a dozen donuts.Klore note
💡 Why even film this — isn't idol weight a touchy subject?
Korean idols face constant public scrutiny over their bodies, so showing themselves happily bingeing snacks is rare, fan-loved proof they're human.vs. Western pop stars: like a star's 'unfiltered' cheat-day vlog going viral for being real.Klore note

    Rice cookie + Together ice cream lol, that's not bulking, that's a 'I'll just get fat and die' diet

    That first workout pic is already brutal, plus a 10km run and 10,000 jump ropes? If they still gained weight after that, their appetite must be insane

    첫짤 8세트도 파멸적인데 10키로 런닝에 줄넘기 1만회? 군필 여고생도 못할거같은 수행인데 이러고도 살찐거면 와우 먹성이 어마어마 했구나

    According to Gemini AI, that workout burns 2200-2800 calories, so if they still maintained weight, how much did they even eat

    제미나이 피셜 저 운동 다 하면 2200~2800칼로리 소비라는데 그럼에도 유지됐다는건 얼마나 먹었다는거냐

    Minami and Reve lost weight through the 'door diet.' After Minami smashed a door, they both dropped weight fast

    Rice cookies are super high in sugar and calories, and Together ice cream is just as bad lol
