woahh they're so skinny, I srsly hope that they're at least eating well. My waist is 26in and I'm short so that's good, but they're taller and omg 17.9 oh my lord, I'm going to faint. I really love these girls so I wish that they're eating okay and that they're happy forever lol c:
not exactly my waist when I was 12/13 was about 18 inches, it depends on your metabolism etc. Now mine's only 24" because I eat too much junkfood and don't really workout haha
@@foxjulia5937 has nothing to do with her being fat. It all depends on bone structure. No matter how much weight you lose, you can't achieve this size unless your bone structure let's you.
If you're wondering, they don't just eat tomatoes. I'm not fluent in korean, they're just basically saying that grape tomatoes are a good snack when dieting.
I know right. Even as an underweight teen (my BMI is around 15) my waist size is 23 inches. Mina, as a fully grown adult, would probably not look human if her waist was this thin. The worst is probably that FNC claims she can go up to 14 inches "if she skips a meal" which is highly unrealistic : no one would ever believe that they could lose 8cm of waist fat that easily. Plus, 14 inches is already the measurements of the holder of the «World's Thinnest Waist». If you looked for pictures of the woman who has such proportions, you could see that she doesn't look healthy at all. Companies need to stop enforcing unrealistic standards to young girls that look up to their artists. Note : english isn't my main language
Korean people are pretty direct about appearances. Relatives are almost too direct in the language / comments. This was really a thing back then. Several shows would measure waistlines.
They're not anorexic. They have gorgeous figures. They definitely don't just eat those tiny tomatoes though. Don't just believe whatever people tell you.
Cool Guy trust me they probably do, kpop idols go on crazy dangerous diets to get their figures. a member of sistar went on a diet were she just ate cucumbers
Not everybody is like that tho. Everybody is different. I eat normally and have a tiny frame bc I’m just overall a small person. No need for me to starve. Some of the idols might be that way too. Don’t assume they’re all being unhealthy bc that’s just the way some ppl are
@@juanis8219 it's a well know fact that aoa member are starved. In a TV show their manager yell at seol-hyun for biting in a fried chicken. FNC are well know for starving and over working their idol.
How can they live with that kind of diet :') I need to eat at least 2 bowl of rice, fried chicken, bread, chocolate, fruits, snacks, coke etc on daily basis
All of those are fattening (Chocolate, cookies, fried chicken, etc). You're never going to slim down eating those foods. You have to eat healthier foods and control portion size. A 16oz steak or 16oz plate of spaghetti is way too much. Cut portion size to 1/4. Snack on baby tomatoes or fruit instead of cookies and chips. And do some exercise to burn off calories. But you'll only attain a 17.5 inch waist if you were born that way. Low 20's is the smallest most western girls can attain.
+R Chan no it's about counting calories, what you eat doesn't matter for weight gain just hormonal makeup, if you don't eat fats you'll feel insane cravings and fluctuations in food, if you don't eat carbs for a few days you will feel sick to your stomach get headaches and be irritable then you will go into ketosis once you burned through the glycogen, if you don't eat protein you won't be able to build muscle and passively burn fat, plus protein fills you up. the ideal diet should have a split of 50:30:20 protein, complex carbs, healthy fats. But again calories are the only thing that matter for losing weight. Eat more calories you get fatter, eat less you lose weight, starve? you lose weight.
+ItsSrsBzness I think it is OK to eat junk food once in awhile and in moderation. But as your main source of food, junk food is not good for your body. If you want to lose weight (or maintain your slim body), you need to control your calorie intake and exercise to burn off excess calories. For me, average 1000-1500 calories per day. Some food items are good for you (like an Apple) while others are bad (fried foods, candy, cookies, fast food, etc). That is what I think. If you are going to limit calorie intake, choose foods that provide the nutrients/vitamins you need while avoiding excess fat, salt, sugar, carbohydrates. Starving yourself will make you lose weight quickly but only temporarily. Your metabolism slows down when you starve yourself and doesn't rev up quickly enough when you start eating again. So you don't burn off the calories you've consumed and become fatter than you were before. So best to not starve yourself. Cut your calories to 1500 or less (but at least 800) and do some exercise. I think 2000 calories is excessive and you'd never lose weight eating that much every day.
+R Chan hahaha i will never get skinny like them with my eating habits but I think my weight is normal for my height. Since I'm an Asian and Asians tend to have smaller body frame that's why I think I'm still not obese (yet). But of course I will try my best to eat healthier!!
Okay then go away. I feel like there is already enough drama going on. 😂😂😖. Just don’t watch. I watch and listen to songs/videos simply for my own entertainment doesn’t mean I support the person/group 👍🏾

***** losing weight can be done by either cardio and or caloric reduction. It doesn't matter which you go with or both. If you aren't building muscle with weight training, your body will be no different weather you ate less or went on a jog.
+Olivia Wonka Honestly, if you're eating like most people do (three meals a day of shit humans aren't meant to eat) a baby tomato diet would probably be a step up.
watching this after watching that one video about her weight loss and the things fnc put her and the rest of the girls through I admire her and give her mad props for always putting on a smile and saying sorry when it was never her fault
***** I didn't say she should eat until shes fat, but its oblivious she underweight and instead of starving her self she can eat whatever food she wants. I do eat whatever I want (without late night snacks) and i'm still a bit underweight so I am not gonna get fat and mina wont get fat if she ate food. Seriously with her body all she ate was the small tomatoes.
i dont think its starving, but rather just slightly having a strong effort on keeping herself away from all the good foods. she is just slightly underweight compared to asians beauty standards. Dont forget that asians normally have smaller body shapes, even the bones are thinner compared to westerners. No wonder you are abit obsess about that when you are living on the other side of the planet
***** if you think eating only the small tomatoes isn't starving then what do you think is. She need protein and what keeping any from "all the good food", she can eat stuff that wouldn't make she eat and even jimin said that she needs to eat.
she does drink protein drinks, if you have done some researches before talking, then you should have known it. And eating tomatoes is just part of the diet meals. The most important is that asian bodies are slightly different compared to westerners.
Those tomatoes are just a snack guys lmao. If you think they are anorexic girls, then obviously you haven't seen the video where they are all eating pizza, soda, and chicken wings haha.
jukijunk Ive heard Idols just like to show those videos to make people think they are eating like that everyday. Not to discredit you because my sources are questionable too. But there really are a lot of idols who starve themselves just look at their bodies before debut, or even when they first debut. The companies actually tell them to lose weight.
jukijunk idols do eat this stuff sometimes, obviously since we have video proof, but all in all, they eat very little, especially before and during promotion. But hey, how does everyone think do they get and keep such bodies? I'm not as thin as them but still pretty thin for people to go all "aw, you're so thin, I bet you can eat and eat and won't gain weight" and I always just think, in what kinda dream world do they live? xD I do have my days where I eat quite a lot but all in all I don't eat much because otherwise I couldn't keep such a body. There are only a few people who actually have such a body naturally. 90% of the idols do a lot to have such a body, so I'm not super jealous of them, cause if I wasn't the lazy person I am, I could look like this as well, it's not a miracle or genes or them just being lucky, it's hard work. I agree with you and wouldn't call any of the idols anorexic (yeah ok, few exceptions are probably out there), cause if I'd call them that, I'd have to call myself anorexic as well. And I'm not. Maybe a little disturbed body image but uh, still healthy enough.
***** Dancing is also a form of exercise. In addition, they have to build up their stamina to last eg. the concert and not compromise their singing. This alone accounts for long hours of workout. It is no doubt that they can achieved such nice figures or abs. When you workout, you have high metabolism. Hence, even if they ate pizzas, fried chicken etc, they still can maintain their figures/abs. There is no need for any dieting involved.
i remember watching this a year ago and i wish i could personally thank mina for saying "always prohibit eating after 6" because i used that tip and i weigh 10 pounds less than i did last year
That's really great that it worked for you! But sometime other people will get stressed and binge before 6, so they gain weight... btw its been a while, how have you been?
I liked aoa because of choa, she left its understanding, I kept supporting the group and fell in love with mina a lot, and then she also leaves, I don't want to get hurt again so I wished aoa for upcoming future, seeing mina in here hurts my heart
@Sequoiah Dreams Depends. If you pick up a diet or dieting tendencies, portion control and small workouts you can do then you'd be suprised at how much weight you can put off in just two weeks.
I'm starting my diet once again, i lost weight on my last one but started being confident and not caring about what i ate so i gained it + more back. This time I'm not going to stop until I lose ALL the weight I want. If i don't slim down by my birthday, April 26th I'll come back and let anyone who sees this know.
These are what healthy and slim bodies look like. Used to be normal in the USA too. Every girl in my high school looked just like this with very very very few exceptions.
i feel like mina just naturally has a ribcage/fat allocation that allows for such a small waist. this is seriously not achievable by most people.... a few years ago, 22 inches was a headline in kpop :/ there's a reason why even the skinniest idols cannot reach 17.9
Mina looks wonderful and healthy. Eat cherry tomatoes, ladies :) They all have workout routines too so they are not just starving themselves. If you work out a lot and eat a healthy diet anyone can have a body as beautiful as hers.
Not really... Im not skinny ... Im thicke but my collarbone always show and it is really bare. I guess cuz my weight goes to my bottom half n not the top...
sorry but this is so unhealthy, the obsession with ridiculous beauty standards. the coins in the collarbone???? wtf. this is why i've been slowly getting out of kpop; the fandom life is toxic and bitchy and nothing but herd mentalities, and the unrealistic images are damaging to the minds of people who already have image/confidence issues. it's been hard to leave for real because i do still enjoy some songs here and there but at this point the problematic areas have surpassed the enjoyable ones. fyi i'm saying this with NO INTENTION to hate on AOA and/or other kpop groups. they are all just humans working hard in a very fucked up industry and cannot be blamed.
SparkzMxzXZ yea I agree.. I aam concerned since some people heere. in the comment section complain about wanting to have a smaller waist etc etc.. its sickening
SparkzMxzXZ they got critizm and hate when they look bad. thats the disadvantage idol had. mostly this time near comeback they workout hard and diet drasticly. their agencies designed the diet. and when they got hate they got anxiety and by diet they got that confidence
i have problems with my image and i also lack a lot of confidence yet i don't really have any problems with this at all, and the only reason why i'm viewing this video is because i love AOA, and i'm pretty sure if you read this you would understand why they were doing the things they did, www.koreaboo.com/video/aoa-shares-diet-secrets-and-truth-behind-minas-17-9-inch-waist/ I get what you're saying, and also you make a good point but it's not also just kpop, its more of the modeling world and also commercials about beauty and such, but to be honest i don't really see fans who have problems with their self-image/confidence
Honestly, if I ever stop being a kpop fan, this will be because of them silly and sick beauty standars. I would still listen to the music, because kpop is good music, but the industry sucks.
Really? I like her but i dont think she can make it to be next suzy. I felt the aura of suzy & so far i cant feel her & didnt notice her since debut. Unlike suzy i noticed her since debut.
seolhyun is really has the similar charm on her face like suzy...difference is, her personality seems more bubbly, crazy and fun where suzy is more like a mysterious and calm type,,
Guys, her waist is not actually 17.9 inches. It looks like it’s about 22 Runway models have waists that average about 24 24 is very skinny and if her waist was actually 17.9 (probably would be be able to happen because of bones) she would be about to die. I hope people understand that they do not need to be this and that a diet like this might not ever get you down to your desired waistline
Most Korean girl groups are only allowed to eat a certain amount of calories before a comeback so they can be skinny, as directed by the company they work with. But when they're at home, you'd be surprised how big their appetite is.
guys if u watch the video where they measured her waist she was REALLY sucking in. Her waist is probably 20in. Dont starve urself to get a 17.5 inch waist pls
Tbh, I feel that girl groups like Wonder Girls, SNSD, F(X), 2NE1, and SISTAR had healthy bodies. 17.9 is not healthy, let me just say that. When it comes to Mina, I'm so sorry. Right now, my mind is so convinced that she was not happy physically and mentally. This is probably the only video where I feel relieved and say 'Oh thank God Jimin is not in this video and Mina is happy with the other members'.
It's not exactly fair to say they are anorexic and they starve them selves when they dance 8 hours a day and go to the gym to keep up with there physical fitness when ever they can.
well Koreans tend to be on the petit side. :) So they're very small compared to the western size. My friend who is a small in the US is a large in South Korea. its crazy LOOOL >
I agree, at least not without a corset or some major sucking in and pulling the tape measure tight as possible.! Average Asian girl is like a 24-26" waist, with 21-23" being the smallest possible. Some people are so gullible.

I love AOA but omg what is such a small size!! I'm around 21 I thought mine was tiny (I'm healthy don't worry just very petite) ! Wouldn't having a waist that small hurt your body's functions?
Marissa E maybe. everyone has a. different body type and I am concerned about the fanss who have a small waist like you and me but still wanna get. it smaller by seeing people like her
***** um..I'm not trying to kill them. I'm only critical of Kpop upholding this ideal that skinny is beautiful by emphasizing a headline such as "17.9 in waste!" and only showing her eating tomatoes as a "tip." It's unnatural and quite laughable. Quite a way to not only marginalize but simplify the beauty of women huh? I bet a lot of tomatoes were sold after this was uploaded though! Should we talk about plastic surgery?
+Danimal Jr. Your diet is more important than exercise for losing weight. You don't have to exercise at all if you have the right diet. Also exercise plays very little into weight loss so.. Looks like someone needs to inform you. Simply eat less carbs.
"idols need to be skinny, otherwise people will mock at them, bully them and tell them to go starving and be skinny." that's what common people think. i agree most of idols are skinny but they DON'T need to be skinny. as long as they are healthy, that's enough. i'm skinny chick too. when i was little people bully me for being too skinny. but now people praise for my ungaining weight. so just accept everyone the way they are. don't be someone else to make others happy
***** I'm not saying the person themself is fake, but their appearance (mostly). In Western pop culture, less people do touch up their bodies so significantly.
And the sad thing about it is, it's not even just KPOP stars, many of the people in South Korea feel the pressures of the standard of beauty, which is super skinny, western eyes whitened skin and a small face. Hopefully one day they realize that they are beautiful just the way God made them! :)
+Syafiq Norkhalim I'm around 158 cm tall and have a 19.5" waist naturally (no dieting). Not happy with being this thin, but if I tried I could definitely have a smaller waist. Mina is 160cm tall, so having a 17.9" waist is not unreasonable.
it's tough being a K-POP idol! T.T I think diet should be healthy instead of weight-loss centric~ Hyosung(Jun Hyo-seong) is a very good example.. she looks beautiful, healthy and fit .. being slim or thin don't matter.. just be healthy and fit! :)
I just totally adore this woman! Definitely in my top 3 of most beautiful. I loved her performance in 'Summer Strike.' She's gorgeous and very talented!! 💓💓💓💓💓
mina on her own is already on the thin side so i don't think it's really a surprise for her to possess a tiny waist for her body type. it would have been more serious if it were someone else who was built bigger.
Lol they do eat them. But not everyday like Americans would. They just have it probably once or twice every month/ year. They stick to healthier options
well it can be normal I guess.. it depends on the body type annd if you didnt do anything for it to become that small on purpose + youre quite small it could be normal
Thats like saying how a makeup gura can talk about makeup when they have insecure fans. Showing off skin isnt bad, so many nutritionalists do it to show their tips work. This is an educational video and if youre insecure, aoa certaintly isnt the group for you, all kpop groups arent actually because they all look like this
Her waist is not 17.9 inches that’s actually bullshit I’d like them to measure it on camera. I have seen models in which have 20 - 22 inch waists and their waists look way smaller than hers. Her waist has to be at least 22 or 23 inches
For anyone wondering, 1. No salty or spicy foods 2. Eat pumpkin instead of sweets 3. Basic fasting after 6pm (might not be correct it was google translate lol)
Park Kami "don't eat salty or spicy food. i eat a lot of pumpkin related dishes and do not eat after 6pm. When my face is bloated, i use like a cool pack around my face to prevent more bloating." hope i helped haha XD Source: i'm korean

I'm not as thin as them but still pretty thin for people to go all "aw, you're so thin, I bet you can eat and eat and won't gain weight" and I always just think, in what kinda dream world do they live? xD I do have my days where I eat quite a lot but all in all I don't eat much because otherwise I couldn't keep such a body. There are only a few people who actually have such a body naturally. 90% of the idols do a lot to have such a body, so I'm not super jealous of them, cause if I wasn't the lazy person I am, I could look like this as well, it's not a miracle or genes or them just being lucky, it's hard work. I agree with you and wouldn't call any of the idols anorexic (yeah ok, few exceptions are probably out there), cause if I'd call them that, I'd have to call myself anorexic as well. And I'm not. Maybe a little disturbed body image but uh, still healthy enough.
jukijunk Is that the vid where their manager walks in on them and notices SeolHyun eating and chews her out?
Molko701
I;m not sure which one your talking about. But I saw them eating it on one of there live cam talks and stuff..
***** Dancing is also a form of exercise. In addition, they have to build up their stamina to last eg. the concert and not compromise their singing. This alone accounts for long hours of workout. It is no doubt that they can achieved such nice figures or abs. When you workout, you have high metabolism. Hence, even if they ate pizzas, fried chicken etc, they still can maintain their figures/abs. There is no need for any dieting involved.
i remember watching this a year ago and i wish i could personally thank mina for saying "always prohibit eating after 6" because i used that tip and i weigh 10 pounds less than i did last year
That's really great that it worked for you! But sometime other people will get stressed and binge before 6, so they gain weight... btw its been a while, how have you been?
She can look like Bora sometimes..
Clint Patac Mini Bora :)
+Clint Patac She actually reminds me of Jiyeon.
+GiddyRambler well yea. asians all look the same
+Clint Patac She is couple inches taller than Bora and bigger bone structure as well.
+Clint Patac not at all dude
I liked aoa because of choa, she left its understanding, I kept supporting the group and fell in love with mina a lot, and then she also leaves, I don't want to get hurt again so I wished aoa for upcoming future, seeing mina in here hurts my heart
Can we talk about how putting coins on their collarbones is portraying an unhealthy image for eating disorders
no we can’t
Jimins not there... Mina so comfortable...
17.9inch waist was made by Jeong Hyeongdon and Defconn's unflagging enthusiasm.
we all just have different body type ...
Golden Sone Your body can easily be changed hun.
@Sequoiah Dreams Depends. If you pick up a diet or dieting tendencies, portion control and small workouts you can do then you'd be suprised at how much weight you can put off in just two weeks.
And then why all the idols have the same ?
Most of us have the fat ass body type.
Rogelio Loera. I don't think that's what the girls in the video have.
Need English sub! 😢😢
Raymond then they shouldn't put an english title
kola bear How? Can you help me?
i feel sorry for idol girl groups they go through so much hardshps and diet in their comebacks
I'm starting my diet once again, i lost weight on my last one but started being confident and not caring about what i ate so i gained it + more back. This time I'm not going to stop until I lose ALL the weight I want.
If i don't slim down by my birthday, April 26th I'll come back and let anyone who sees this know.
Oh my Seolhyun, why are you so gorgeous? I can't compare her beauty to any female idols. She's one in a million.
These are what healthy and slim bodies look like. Used to be normal in the USA too. Every girl in my high school looked just like this with very very very few exceptions.
i feel like mina just naturally has a ribcage/fat allocation that allows for such a small waist. this is seriously not achievable by most people.... a few years ago, 22 inches was a headline in kpop :/ there's a reason why even the skinniest idols cannot reach 17.9
exactly.
yes
Mina looks wonderful and healthy. Eat cherry tomatoes, ladies :)
They all have workout routines too so they are not just starving themselves. If you work out a lot and eat a healthy diet anyone can have a body as beautiful as hers.
***** Excessive cardio usually goes hand in hand with extreme deficit diets. Just because they are working out doesn't mean anything.
Oh shit that collarbone thing was disturbing
Yassy true
Ikr
Not really... Im not skinny ... Im thicke but my collarbone always show and it is really bare. I guess cuz my weight goes to my bottom half n not the top...
Yassy
Ikr
sorry but this is so unhealthy, the obsession with ridiculous beauty standards. the coins in the collarbone???? wtf. this is why i've been slowly getting out of kpop; the fandom life is toxic and bitchy and nothing but herd mentalities, and the unrealistic images are damaging to the minds of people who already have image/confidence issues. it's been hard to leave for real because i do still enjoy some songs here and there but at this point the problematic areas have surpassed the enjoyable ones.
fyi i'm saying this with NO INTENTION to hate on AOA and/or other kpop groups. they are all just humans working hard in a very fucked up industry and cannot be blamed.
SparkzMxzXZ yea I agree.. I aam concerned since some people heere. in the comment section complain about wanting to have a smaller waist etc etc.. its sickening
SparkzMxzXZ they got critizm and hate when they look bad. thats the disadvantage idol had. mostly this time near comeback they workout hard and diet drasticly. their agencies designed the diet. and when they got hate they got anxiety and by diet they got that confidence
i have problems with my image and i also lack a lot of confidence yet i don't really have any problems with this at all, and the only reason why i'm viewing this video is because i love AOA, and i'm pretty sure if you read this you would understand why they were doing the things they did, www.koreaboo.com/video/aoa-shares-diet-secrets-and-truth-behind-minas-17-9-inch-waist/
I get what you're saying, and also you make a good point but it's not also just kpop, its more of the modeling world and also commercials about beauty and such, but to be honest i don't really see fans who have problems with their self-image/confidence
agree with you..
Honestly, if I ever stop being a kpop fan, this will be because of them silly and sick beauty standars. I would still listen to the music, because kpop is good music, but the industry sucks.
hyejeongs doubke chin gives me happiness
It's so good seeing AOA as 6 member 😍
Would it kill you to add English subtitles?
Some men really need these body tips...
So.... this seolhyun chick is going to be a next Suzy huh? I read it on an allkpop website.
Really? O.o
yun c. yeah she is the suzy of the group her fanboys never shut up about her
Really? I like her but i dont think she can make it to be next suzy. I felt the aura of suzy & so far i cant feel her & didnt notice her since debut. Unlike suzy i noticed her since debut.
Don't underestimate her we don't know what she will be 1 year from now. But everything depend on her too.
She's less known and already has more fanboys so I can see her getting really, REALLY big.
seolhyun is gorgeous
seolhyun is really has the similar charm on her face like suzy...difference is, her personality seems more bubbly, crazy and fun where suzy is more like a mysterious and calm type,,
The only word I understood was when seolhyun said hello in Korean, that’s it
Actually the body goals are Seolhyun and Tzuyu ♥
If these tips were in English they'd be even more helpful thanks
Guys, her waist is not actually 17.9 inches. It looks like it’s about 22
Runway models have waists that average about 24
24 is very skinny and if her waist was actually 17.9 (probably would be be able to happen because of bones) she would be about to die. I hope people understand that they do not need to be this and that a diet like this might not ever get you down to your desired waistline
Most Korean girl groups are only allowed to eat a certain amount of calories before a comeback so they can be skinny, as directed by the company they work with. But when they're at home, you'd be surprised how big their appetite is.
guys if u watch the video where they measured her waist she was REALLY sucking in. Her waist is probably 20in. Dont starve urself to get a 17.5 inch waist pls
They are sooo adorable 😍
Tbh, I feel that girl groups like Wonder Girls, SNSD, F(X), 2NE1, and SISTAR had healthy bodies.
17.9 is not healthy, let me just say that.
When it comes to Mina, I'm so sorry.
Right now, my mind is so convinced that she was not happy physically and mentally.
This is probably the only video where I feel relieved and say 'Oh thank God Jimin is not in this video and Mina is happy with the other members'.
Maybe not 17.9 but fr when I saw them irl I could tell that her waist is very tiny.
The measure it it’s real
It's not exactly fair to say they are anorexic and they starve them selves when they dance 8 hours a day and go to the gym to keep up with there physical fitness when ever they can.
How so
Umm don't hate me but did she remove a rib bone? 17,9 inch is really too small to be natural (or not?).
ok someone here said they were sucking really hard in and would have atleast 21 inch if measured right.
well Koreans tend to be on the petit side. :) So they're very small compared to the western size. My friend who is a small in the US is a large in South Korea. its crazy LOOOL >
Mina is tiny haha better believe it ! I imagine she doesn't eat much so that does contribute a bit
Dude. Victoria secret models get their lower ribs removed. And if she did get them removed, it would be pretty obvious. But they're natural :)
There is ^^ they have to be this way - there was a korean documentary about it - girls want to be healthy but they feel they have to be 42kg
Girls, please don't deprive yourselves from eating what you want. Be healthy
18 inches is just impossible . 24 - 26 Is normal .
I agree, at least not without a corset or some major sucking in and pulling the tape measure tight as possible.! Average Asian girl is like a 24-26" waist, with 21-23" being the smallest possible. Some people are so gullible.
dee sin i agree !!!
I don’t think it’s impossible, if you’re short and have a petite frame it might be unlikely, but it’s still possible
Mina is just a small human in general😂 She’s very cute
im 17 asian and my waist is 27 !!My body type is somehow big thats why I cant have less than 25 waist size hayyyystt
sammeee btw how old are you?

Varshika R.M yes?
I love AOA but omg what is such a small size!! I'm around 21 I thought mine was tiny (I'm healthy don't worry just very petite) ! Wouldn't having a waist that small hurt your body's functions?
Marissa E maybe. everyone has a. different body type and I am concerned about the fanss who have a small waist like you and me but still wanna get. it smaller by seeing people like her
Yes it would. She looks depressed inside anyway.
How can you have a 17.9 inch waist
That's impossible.
jami s It seems odd, I agree. When you think about it, a decently trained person has an arm of about 16 inches, ridiculous.
***** she's not that tiny she's 1m63
Lol im just under her height and underweight and still cant get my stomach THAT small
***** shoulder?
Ohhh
유튜브의 신비로운 알고리즘으로 2020년 3월에 이걸 보게 됐는데, 설현이도 이뻐라 하지만, 초아가 나오면 촤만 보게된다...♡,.♥
Did someone not tell this girl, exercise is just as important as a healthy diet? not just baby tomatoes? lol
They over exercise and practice and preform, I'm sure they've heard
*****
she looks more bulimic, than fit
*****
um..I'm not trying to kill them. I'm only critical of Kpop upholding this ideal that skinny is beautiful by emphasizing a headline such as "17.9 in waste!" and only showing her eating tomatoes as a "tip." It's unnatural and quite laughable. Quite a way to not only marginalize but simplify the beauty of women huh? I bet a lot of tomatoes were sold after this was uploaded though! Should we talk about plastic surgery?
+Danimal Jr. Your diet is more important than exercise for losing weight. You don't have to exercise at all if you have the right diet. Also exercise plays very little into weight loss so.. Looks like someone needs to inform you. Simply eat less carbs.
She excercises too go search it up
*MINA SLAY!*
Wow it's already been a year... AOA barely active these days compared to 2015 :(
timtimzi ni They having a comeback in a week, I think.🙂
About time :D WHOOO !!! (wae is my comment highlighted)
"idols need to be skinny, otherwise people will mock at them, bully them and tell them to go starving and be skinny." that's what common people think. i agree most of idols are skinny but they DON'T need to be skinny. as long as they are healthy, that's enough. i'm skinny chick too. when i was little people bully me for being too skinny. but now people praise for my ungaining weight. so just accept everyone the way they are. don't be someone else to make others happy
I love my kpop but it is honestly so fake like nearly everyone is plastic and have whitened skin. Like its screaming its not okay to be yourself.
***** I'm not saying the person themself is fake, but their appearance (mostly). In Western pop culture, less people do touch up their bodies so significantly.
And the sad thing about it is, it's not even just KPOP stars, many of the people in South Korea feel the pressures of the standard of beauty, which is super skinny, western eyes whitened skin and a small face. Hopefully one day they realize that they are beautiful just the way God made them! :)
Ariella Levone Preach
Le plastique c'est fantastique ! ^ ^
even though I love kpop so much, I agree. ah well, alot of celebrities do It anyways in America so what's the difference with Korea? 😛
Choa is gorgeous😍😍
Google Michele Koebke, she has a 21inch waist. 17inches is definitely not possible
16 inch actually
+Syafiq Norkhalim I'm around 158 cm tall and have a 19.5" waist naturally (no dieting). Not happy with being this thin, but if I tried I could definitely have a smaller waist. Mina is 160cm tall, so having a 17.9" waist is not unreasonable.
Ann Ward has a 16 inch waist I believe. Smallest natural waist I've seen.
+mibluvr13 mina height below 160cm, its like 145-148cm
***** are you already meet her?
it's tough being a K-POP idol! T.T
I think diet should be healthy instead of weight-loss centric~
Hyosung(Jun Hyo-seong) is a very good example.. she looks beautiful, healthy and fit ..
being slim or thin don't matter.. just be healthy and fit! :)
Couldn't they just say 18 inches? I mean seriously Mina only has to stop holding her breath and her waist would measure more.
I just totally adore this woman! Definitely in my top 3 of most beautiful. I loved her performance in 'Summer Strike.' She's gorgeous and very talented!! 💓💓💓💓💓
Me: *sees cherry tomatoes being pulled out*.....yeah. No Sorry diet failed *proceeds to vomit at the sight of tomatoes *
I don't like AOA after they changed their concept but she's still one of my bias in KPOP :)
Everyone skinny shame me and my waist is like 23 inches. I mean how could she got those petite waist without looking like a skeleton?
There is no way her waist is 17.8 inch
7 perfect girls in a room with haters...I love it.
mina on her own is already on the thin side so i don't think it's really a surprise for her to possess a tiny waist for her body type. it would have been more serious if it were someone else who was built bigger.
My waist is currently 26 inches I want to get it to less than 24 by losing weight
SeolHyun Perfect Body 😍💕💕💕
I can't get enough of that heart attack song
0:41 iconic
For god's sake somebody get these women some cheeseburgers :p
Lol they do eat them. But not everyday like Americans would. They just have it probably once or twice every month/ year. They stick to healthier options
Deery Luhan ?!? What does this have to do with Americans?
when it comes to seolhyun,i'm addicted.
i have a waist kid sized , i am not that skinny . i feel a little bit scared about this
I really love bangtan what to do? how small is it?
MJ idk how small is it but believe me it's smaller than mina
MJ I think depends on my height? 14 y.o 146 cm
well it can be normal I guess.. it depends on the body type annd if you didnt do anything for it to become that small on purpose + youre quite small it could be normal
Thanks for the tips :)
It makes me feel good that they have lil booties cause lately I've realised mine is small too hahah
Seolhyun :D she's so BEAUTIFUL!!! aside from Park Shin Hye I love Seolhyun !
아 민아 먹으면서 말하는거 졸귀 ㅠㅠ
엄청난 노력도 있지만 기본적으로 타고난 것 같아유.. 지는 이번생에는 틀린 것 같슈
How can they show off their bones and talk about those diets like they don`t have a bunch of insecure girls for fans?
Thats like saying how a makeup gura can talk about makeup when they have insecure fans. Showing off skin isnt bad, so many nutritionalists do it to show their tips work. This is an educational video and if youre insecure, aoa certaintly isnt the group for you, all kpop groups arent actually because they all look like this
oh shut the fuck up
Alysia Jung Why are you so mad, its like hating an artist for showing off their art
+xVivsx Vargas cause insecure girls usually have a unstable family enivronment, so it wouldn't matter.
+xVivsx Vargas I fathom, insecurity lies within one's self, not from somebody else's actions.
i love mina and she looks good with her body...but seolhyun body is no joke
I miss them 🥺
This was helpful!!!
Girls need to have a bigger waist to give birth, Mina will have trouble
Her waist is not 17.9 inches that’s actually bullshit I’d like them to measure it on camera. I have seen models in which have 20 - 22 inch waists and their waists look way smaller than hers. Her waist has to be at least 22 or 23 inches
subtitles? 😢 can't understand anything
For anyone wondering, 1. No salty or spicy foods 2. Eat pumpkin instead of sweets 3. Basic fasting after 6pm (might not be correct it was google translate lol)
Is someone can tell me what are the tips please ? I'm curious ^^
Park Kami "don't eat salty or spicy food. i eat a lot of pumpkin related dishes and do not eat after 6pm. When my face is bloated, i use like a cool pack around my face to prevent more bloating."
hope i helped haha XD Source: i'm korean
Yeri Han thank you..im curious bout what r they saying too..
Yeri Han Thank you very much !! ^.^
Thanks yeri !!!
haha welcome guys ;)
seolhyun and kwon mina so beautiful
OMG Bagel Seolhyun
