​She was the singer featured on the August 5th episode of 'Hidden Singer', where she talked about her previous dieting experiences. She said "In the past, I ate 500 calories per day to lose weight. I was 49 kg (108 lb) back then. I didn't eat anything all day. I was so sad. I'm a singer, but I was so sad that I had to do that to stand on stage."

She continued "I was upset because I knew my singing ability was less than when I weight more. When I sang while I was thin, I felt like I wasn't able to show my 100%. I might have looked good at 49-50kg, but I was the most depressed."

She finally revealed "I decided that I don't care. I'm so happy right now, and I think it's the most important for me to be satisfied with my singing."
