To lose the title of being the heaviest school, Jeju Central Girls' High School changed its meal plan to the '2+2' plan, where 2 types of fruit and 2 types of vegetables are available for lunch each day. In addition, an aerobic class is available where students can learn the dance moves to hit K-Pop songs such as TWICE's ''Knock Knock". A new rule prohibiting fast food and snacks in classrooms will also start taking effect in April.

A freshmen student Kim Ji Eun shared a comment about the school's fight against obesity, and said, "It's fun learning new moves every day. I can feel that our school has become healthier as we take aerobic classes and exercise."

A sophomore student Lee Soo Ji commented, "It was annoying at first because our lunch time was cut short and we couldn't eat anything other than school lunch, but I started enjoying exercising and felt the fun. I'm now joyfully participating in the program after seeing weight loss results."
