WJSN member Dayoung disclosed details of her gradual weight loss during a recent appearance on MBC’s Radio Star. She explained the changes were aimed at boosting her stamina for future performances.
Dayoung shared that she currently weighs about 43kg after losing roughly 1kg each month over the past year. She told host Kim Gura that the effort was driven by long-term career ambitions rather than appearance concerns. The idol stated her motivation stemmed from concerns about endurance. “If I’m going to become a global pop star someday, would I really be able to perform for two or three hours with my current stamina?” she said. Dayoung added that a lighter body makes dancing easier and singing more comfortable. She also named her inspirations, citing Lee Hyori, Seo In Young, Jeon Hye Bin, and Stephanie. Fans responded positively to her focus on performance capabilities. Dayoung debuted with WJSN in 2016 and has pursued solo activities since the group’s hiatus.
