it never fails to break me hearing idols’ dietary stories, especially when they had to do it at an age where eating is crucial for great growth. i’m glad the girls eat really well now

It seems Mina is good at everything. She had the shortest training period, doesn't make mistakes in choreography often, can lose and maintain weight easily, loved by her members and adored by staff. She's amazing really.

I've seen somewhere that they don't even know their weight nowadays because they don't weigh themselves a lot. I hope TWICE good health and happiness!

We tend to forget how cruel and toxic the industry is itself. To learn how our favourite idols went through hell and back just breaks my heart. Love you Twice!!

I think they were traumatized by the diet restrictions. At least Dahyun... its good they talk about it now and most of them can laugh about it but to starve someone and deny them food is literally a method of torture. Also I feel like saying "but now they are so successful" gives an excuse for these methods. They are successful despite going through that, not because of it.

Through all of the sad talk of their trainee days, the part where they said that other trainees would sneak them food & 1 took the heat (Chan) for eating all of the Samgeopsal gave me The Feels. 🥺

So that’s where the story of Chan helping out the girls came from🤯

If JYP is considered an agency that is kind to their trainees, the other companies must be absolute hell.

I used to be insecure about my weight back then cause ppl always tell me I was chubby that I forced myself to eat 1 meal a day and drink a pill for weight loss...then I ended up in the hospital. And I'm already an adult when this happened. I can't imagine them being around 13-17 years old and doing strict diet. Companies should not normalise these kind of stuff. They were just kids.

The way that managers and companies treat their trainees and artists when it comes to diet is obscene... They have control of course, but not a "are you eating well? " control. No, losing weight is all it matters. No concern whatsoever of if they're severely damaging the health of their trainees... And then we have stuff like Momo's infamous one-ice-cube-per-day diet. Are you kidding me? Assume responsibility for your actions and start treating the artists well... No food coupons if you're on a diet? The stuff out beloved artists have to go through.... 😞

I know this is common in idol culture but this made me tear up. They work so hard and go through so much stress to maintain an image someone else sets on them, and some don’t even make it. They’ve worked so hard and deserve everything they have. I can’t even imagine their trauma from their trainee days. I hope they are able to heal from what they’ve been through together.

This is the bad thing about this industry, literally forcing Idols to go on a diet to an extreme point. I know TWICE doesn’t worry about weight that much rn, and I’m glad that they are happy and they eat whatever they want. Its just sad that they had to go through that rough part, especially Momo, when she literally ate ice and still thought she’ll gain weight from it and not to mention her thinking if she will still wake up the next day is so heartbreaking.

This was actually so sad to watch you can see how they still have a hard when they remember what they had to go thru

That's one of the reason why I'm feeling bad watching kpop. Because the industry is horrible in those aspects How can they enjoy and get better if their first priority is to be skinny and if their schedule make them tired all the time. I'm really amazed that Twice keep their energy and positiveness even after their hardships, well all kpop groups in general. I just feel like me watching is just encouraging these treatments. But stopping kpop is leaving this colourful and super funny world. I just think kpop can still be a happy place without those radical treatments. I mean not eating at all ?? Wth?? They are smiling and all because it's difficult to bring the mood down, especially when it's Twice, but I'm really disgusted by that

I noticed that they compliment the victim by saying that they have strong will and bravery, etc. But never scold the system for the abuse they caused. Maybe because they're basically trapped under contract. Overall, its sad.

Dont make kids diet regularly unless theyre overweight / obese / unhealthy. You could affect their growth and create unhealthy views on nutrition, like here, where the girls think theyre beautiful because they dieted. Just eat good and balanced food and exercise regularly. Dieting before a performance is okay if it isnt too much weight. 10 lbs isnt that hard to lose in a week as it is mostly water and replacing regular food with low density low calorie food.

my poor babies...that is surely a sad memory but im glad they can eat all and whatever they want now!

At 0:56 when momo was trying to comfort dahyun saying she was also banned a lot…🥺

The effort they made is admirable and thanks to that they are one of the best K-Pop groups. ✨✨

the Glory comes before suffering . now Twice are the most successful and highest level kpop girl group❗💥👍

I feel like many truths will come out as my favorite group wraps up. I love each and every one so dearly

omg this is so sad . ive been diet + workout for 2 weeks only and im already tired and suffering a lot 😭 feel bad for them especially momo ㅠㅠ its not easy to diet tho . and for those with eating disorders ..i mean , myself :(

Wow this is actually incredibly sad.

the poor members 😢

They suffer that time but now they're living their lost teenage years damn

Quiet inspiring to share their stress stories. I guess the world best does endure the world's greatest pain.

I’m glad they can laugh about these experiences, because it seems genuinely traumatic to me. I can’t imagine having to go through the extreme dieting they had. It must have been really hard...

It’s not easy to succeed🥺 twice so amazing 💪🏻💪🏻❤️❤️

Makes me sad that our Twice girls suffered from the dieting system that the industry impose on them. But they grew stronger bonds as a true family. They are all sisters that love. protect, and support each other . I love you Twice ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

This is so heartbreaking. Being on a diet so young especially while training as hard as they did and then getting banned if you don’t make weight? I’m sure they don’t have access to nutritionists to keep them healthy while they do this. They seem to laugh about it now but they look traumatized by it all.

From predebut photos none of the girls looked chubby tho, what kind of weight did the trainees had to maintain 🤯🤯

The fact that they make them diet when they are such young kids, is crazy to the point if torture. Like Momo only eating ice cubes to lose weight. Most would lose any chubbyness in their late teens anyways, from just growing.

This is so sad

this is just sad):

Though they didn’t specify why Chan was banned I do like to think he helped them get food…sounds like something he’d do.

Love twice 🍭❤️😊

It's funny on the outside but actually it's very sad that they had to go through all that.

that was so harsh... eating food is a daily need, but that news about MOMO eating ice cubes. gosh, it would really affect your mental health, not only being moody but being malnourished at the same time. TWICE gave me life from their music, but all those hardships and culture they had so they can debut, was a game changer. whoever you are, dont eat like a kpop idol, ur health is the most important thing to make.

Although they were laughing and I was smiling as I watched but inside I was crying😔😞😭 And everybody saying they are not suffering now are you sure? Yes they are famous but I think they are still being overworked still suffering (not like before atleast)

It scared me when Jungyeon said Momo would cry at night because she was afraid that she wont wake up the next day. To think that they were so malnourished to that point is so sad and angers me that this world praises eating disorders

Me causa tristeza escucharlas hablar tan casual sobre esto, sé que para los coreanos este tipo de dietas son muy comunes, sin embargo el llegar a extremos como no comer o comer realmente poco puede resultar muy dañino en el organismo, no tendrían por qué normalizarlo de esa manera, como si perder peso las hiciera más bonitas de lo que ya son cuando no funciona así. Ojalá las agencias no fueran tan crueles con los trainees 😞

its depressing and i definitely do not laugh at this. i know they can laugh at it now but its definitely tramatic for them. the fact they were forced to diet especially at young ages. terrible. i like to think the practice doesn't still happen for trainees but i am sure it still does. glad they have been able to deal and move forward. you can clearly see that Dayhun just hates thinking about it.

I like green 💚💚💚

💖💖💖

0:33.. i might’ve melted a little..

it’s sad bc they weren’t dieting they were being starved 😕

Chan is a hero

Things may not be perfect but they have gotten better. Swan from Purple Kiss & Gahyeon from Dreamcatcher certainly were not thin or seemed to be forced to be thin at debut. And let's remember its the boys too - one person - can't remember his name - said basically ate only chicken.

kpop industry is so cruel also some toxic fans because your main reason to stan a group should be their music not the artist's appearance and i think this stupid thinking will end when agencies start to only care about the artist's music not their visual or etc. because let me tell you there is lots of groups with just visual and bad music they are literally promoting the idol not the song ????????? so stupid i love my girls

I gained 5 lbs this holiday season :-(

What do they mean they were “banned” from the company? Like banned from the canteen?

This is so wrong on many levels. I seriously wonder why anyone would want to go through this crap to have the extremely low chance of becoming famous.

I am quite sure a spider is crawling on JY's hair at 0:18

And now look at Dahyun. ⏳⏳⏳⏳

i'm glad they can be thicc now, i wonder why the company changed.

In high school I went from 138lbs to 115lbs in a month. It was stressful, practicing (wrestling) is super hard and I was literally starving. But I kept at it because being competitive in the correct weight class for my frame was what I wanted to do at the time. I thought it justified the pain. Nobody forced or gaslighted me into doing it. Dieting sucks but if you don't want to compete in a field of endeavor where weight is important, you don't have to. South Korea and the West have that going for them. What's the alternative? Body acceptance idols? +sized beauties who sing and dance? I don't know that I would be on U2B looking for that content. I mean, I get the whole body acceptance movement but it goes too far when I hear some argue how being fat is healthy. Beautiful? Maybe you can argue about that, eye of the beholder and all, but obesity is not healthy and kills more people than all other preventable causes of death. None of these girls are obese. Not now, not when they were trainees. But they're competing in a marketplace of aesthetics for monetary gain and personal satisfaction/achievement. JYP or any entertainment company can choose to work with people who fit their criteria. Self control and self maintenance are important criteria for these agencies. With so many wanting the fame and fortune and no shortage of super talented, beautiful aspirants, the agencies can afford to choose among the "best". Tiny differences can make or break your dreams. It is what it is.

Lmao Chan got blamed😂😂

What is the ban they are talking about?

what does it mean if they get banned?

What did it mean when they were banned?

It's nice to see the trainees helping each other but this method of diet is just too much...

What do they mean by ban ??

What do they mean when referring to banning idols

why did they ban them? What does it mean

That shit should be illegal

jyp overworks them he better let them eat whatever they want now

What do they mean by "banned"? What were they banned from, exactly? I'm so lost.

What do they mean by getting banned??

I don’t understand. What do they mean by “banned”????

who is Chan? is he in any idol group now?

why do they get banned

Banned for doing what???😭😭😭

what does banning mean in this context?

That's why the heads looks so big on Skinny body's on a lot of girls. Most girls look Just great before and now use paddings to give them some curves. But still think Twice looks better then most of them.

what is getting banned? like they were grounded and couldnt do things?

Lesson: if you work hard today oneday you can talk about past very relaxly and with a laughing face

🌹👍🏍️💌👮👽🛸

What does getting banned even mean

I don’t get it, banned from what?

0:56 momo for win

Um that's kinda fucked up.

O

to all people saying idol's diet is strict n torture remember. they chose it. they know the consequences. they read it, think abt it clearly before sign the contract. that's adult life. you choose a job and deal with the risk. idols get a lot of money and fame but with a price to pay like their freedom and mental health just like other profession doctor n nurses are exhausted and prone to be infected by virus soldiers got high chance to die/crippled for life construction and factory workers, and a lot more

That’s actually very sad that Jihyo would get banned just because of weight

This is so sad

what does it mean if they get banned?
