She has a perfect height and an ideal body weight. She’s often starred in advertisements that showed her ideal body shape. In maintaining her body, Seolhyun really maintains her diet. She said, “I didn’t choose to eat food, even I ate everything I wanted to eat, only a small amount.” Seolhyun also said that she kept eating at night because she could not resist her hunger. “Instead of not having dinner, I chose not to have breakfast. People always say not to miss breakfast and reduce the amount at dinner. But if I eat heavily at breakfast then at dinner I will eat heavily too. I also decided to eat a little at breakfast and eat more at dinner.”
On FNC Entertainment’s Cheongdamdong 111 variety show, it was also revealed that Seolhyun was allowed to eat sweet potatoes, chicken breasts, and boiled eggs. Whenever Seolhyun gained a lot of weight, she would also consume a “liquid meal“, which means she only drank liquids and didn’t eat food at all. She said, “I went on a liquid/drinking diet and did not eat anything I could chew and swallow, just like a vampire.” However, in carrying out her diet Seolhyun often failed. She has admitted to failing every diet she tried, including the Lemon Detox, Danish Diet, and juicing. She explained that eating what she wants helps her to lose weight, not gain it. The stress of dieting actually causes her to overeat. She also prioritizes exercise as a way to burn calories, she said, “I always used to do squats frequently.” She even demonstrated how she did the squats and went into full-scale squats. Through her gym teacher, the video of how she did her exercise daily was revealed. The exercise especially helps to remove belly fat and shape abs.

In an interview, she was asked about her diet program before the group has a comeback, and said, “I don’t normally diet. Recovering my health right now is more important. I don’t think about my body, but starting late last year, I became anemic and my stomach hasn’t been in a good condition, I didn’t manage it at all, but it completely changed early this year. I’ve been taking vitamins and omega-3s, and go to the dermatologist regularly. I’m going to continue working hard on exercising, as well.”

She admitted that she had a strict diet, where people from her company actually watched over her eating habits and prevented her from eating the things she wanted. “They did not want me to eat when I was a trainee and I’m the type who wants to do it even more if someone tells me not to. They told me not to eat so my desires to eat grew stronger. That led to a strange sense of damage and I’ve got a greater appetite.” From then on, she turned herself to exercising.
In addition to maintaining her diet, if there is free time, Hyorin works out to burn calories and stay in shape. She said, “When I promoted, I did weight training at a gym, but these days I can’t be hardcore. I usually just work out at home. There are tons of workouts you can do at home with a simple mat. Even if you repeat simple, consistent moves, you can refine your muscles and tighten your body line.” She also said, “work out every day, even if it’s 5-10 minutes! Just a few minutes will prove effective in the long run. If you’re feeling lazy, just 5 minutes will do. If you’re on a diet where you have to cut back on food, I suggest sleeping a little more. When you’re sleeping, you’re not hungry.”

As reported by Allkpop, Hyosung revealed the secret to her honey thighs, “It’s because of my muscles. I have naturally formed a lot of muscles from walking around ever since I was little. Since I’ve also been dancing since I was little, my figure is different from those who didn’t exercise. When I was little, I envied those who are of the skinny and delicate style. Because I am chubby and have a lot of muscles, I received a lot of stress. But as I grew older, I formed confidence. I am more confident and not stressed out about it these days. I can only be thankful. I think it’s a happy thing just to be an issue and receive interest as a celebrity.” Shealso surprised fans by revealing her diet involved a lot of eating, “I am the type to eat lot. I think the way is more than the average person. Even though I eat a lot during promotions, I exercise a lot, so I don’t see a change in weight.”
