The Extreme Diet This Top K-Pop Girl Group Member Did To Lose Weight

She was once called a goddess in Korea.

AOA’s Seolhyun has always been praised for her stunning visuals and figure, but behind her flawless appearance was a diet so extreme, even she called it unbearable. In a recent confession, the idol-turned-actress opened up about the harsh reality of maintaining her body under intense industry pressure — and it left fans shocked.

“Dieting is really hard for me. I wanted to stop. I couldn’t eat what I wanted and had to note what I hate… There was even a weight check every morning and evening.”

Her agency reportedly kept close tabs on her weight, monitoring it twice a day, and limiting her food intake to just one meal a day at times. But things got even more intense before filming her drama. Seolhyun revealed she went on a complete liquid diet, cutting out all solid foods entirely.

“I went on a liquid/drinking diet and did not eat anything I could chew and swallow — just like a vampire.”

That means no rice, no snacks, no solid meals — only liquids to keep her going. This kind of extreme diet isn’t new in K-pop, but hearing it straight from Seolhyun — someone known for her healthy image — was eye-opening. The “vampire diet” quickly caught attention online, with fans expressing concern over how normalized such practices have become in the industry.
