YooBin of the Wonder Girls was creating headlines yesterday as the media took huge interest in her concern about her body weight and new exercise plan.
The news that YooBin revealed on a radio program came out as the #2 story on Daum (see capture below). It also was reported by a huge breadth of media outlets. This is displaying the huge star power that is now known as the Wonder Girls.

YooBin made headlines for sharing on a radio show that she started jump roping in order to lose weight.
“After starting promotions for ‘Nobody’, I gained weight through lacking time to exercise, irregular meals, etc.,” said YooBin. “In order to go back and find my former body, I started a diet of regulating the size of my meals and jump roping together.”
She has already started to see changes in the slimness of her body. “Truthfully at first, I wondered if I could jump rope over 1,000 times a day, but when I started it did not even take 20 minutes in actuality,” shared the Wonder Girls rapper.
This is not the first time YooBin has expressed concerns about her body weight. On Nov. 13, 2008, she posted a photo entry on her Cyworld entitled: “I used to be really thin…..”.
Below the photo she wrote: “Haa….. like that….. I also experienced being thin…”.
Korean netizens have been responding to the news with some surprise and concern: “She’s skinny, what diet…”, “Think about your health while doing it”, “Even now you are plenty pretty”.

I know this was posted on spec! already, so I added a different spin to it. ^^
she’s sexy with a body
I mean it’s always good to eat more healthy and excercise regularly but she shouldn’t worry about it TOO much
if YooBin goes “asian skinny” (as I called it) I’ll be pretty depressed. To me, she look fine right now, she’s a few out of Korean female artists that can be skinny WITHOUT being skinny, and I like that about her.
Hopefully it’s not attracting a lot of negative attention too ><
Honestly~ she shouldn’t feel bad. She’s SKINNY! But if she watches her health then this isn’t a bad idea. If it makes her feel better about herself, then it’s awesome <3333
hope she doesn’t push herelf too hard
yoo bin hwaiting!
netizens are such hypocrites >.>
Yoobin unni hwaiting! don’t overwork yourself~
she’s REALLY THIN before! BONY AND SKINNY.
she should just lose a few weight and that’s it.
her body is sexy and i hope people won’t make an issue about it.
YOOBIN~~~ be happy!
Which ever goes her wayy. I mean i’ll still lvoe YooBin. I’ve never thought she was fat, i actually thought shes average.
But as long as shes happy about her body, then i should support whatever decision shes going to make ^^
she looks fine to me =/ but as long as she is dieting healthy and working out and not starving herself or anything I’m fine with this^^
This doesn’t sound bad so hooray for yoobin.
it’s always good to exercise and eat normally (:
As long as it’s not something extreme, then it’s fineeeeeeee.
thanks,Kay, for translating (;
As long as she keeps it healthy! I mean she looks perfect to me! I never thought she was big anyway, she has a womans body. Hope she doesnt take this overboard!!!!
