Girl’s Day Yura recently opened up about the time she hit the highest weight of her life.
On the 22nd, a video titled “The story of how Yura and Heejung, who have nothing in common except age, became best friends” was uploaded to the ‘YuraYuraHae’ channel.
With her close friend, actress Kim Heejung, appearing as a guest, the two looked back on their first meeting during the filming of the movie ‘Family Glory: Returns’.
When Kim Heejung asked if she still keeps in touch with the other actors, Yura replied that she doesn’t see them often. Yura then shared a surprising detail, revealing that she had stayed at 47kg for four years before the movie, despite drinking almost every day. However, she gained 8kg in just two months while filming the movie.
Kim Heejung questioned if 56kg was a normal weight for her height, to which Yura explained, “It was the first time in my life I hit that weight. I had never gone over 54kg. Not even once. But while filming that movie, I hit 56kg for the first time because of a drinking belly.”
She continued, “I was determined not to eat and quickly lost weight back down to 47kg. But guess what? Because I stopped drinking and barely ate, my cheeks suddenly sank in. I looked much older. Losing weight when you’re older is different from when you’re young. So, I gained weight again.”
After gaining back up to 50kg, Yura noted that her face looked better, though she added, “People kept asking, ‘Are you sick? Should you get a health check-up?’ because I looked too thin.”
