Yura, formerly of Girls' Day, opened up about the difficulties she experienced because of rapid weight fluctuations.

On the 22nd, a video titled 'Yura, who only walks 143 steps a day, and ‘Kick a Goal’ captain Kim Heejung are surprisingly real best friend' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'YuraYurahae.'

In the video, Yura recalled the time she was filming the movie 'Marrying the Mafia: Returns' and said, "At the time, I drank alcohol almost every single day. I had maintained 47kg for four years, I suddenly gained 8kg in only two months while filming that movie."

In response, Kim Heejung asked, Yura, who is 170cm tall, "Isn't 56kg considered normal for your height?" However, Yura replied, "It was a weight I had never hit before in my life. I had never gone above 54kg even once. But after filming that movie, I hit 56kg for the first time because of the beer belly, and afterward I practically starved myself so I could immediately return to 47kg."

She continued, "But because I completely quit drinking and barely ate while losing the weight, my cheeks suddenly became hollow and I instantly looked much older. Losing weight when you're younger is definitely different from losing weight as you get older."

She added, "So I gained some weight again. Once I got back to around 50kg, my face started looking better," but also shared, "Even so, people still told me I looked too skinny and kept asking, ‘Are you sick? Shouldn’t you get a health check-up?'"
