Actress Roh Jeong Eui regrets revealing her weight and height, says women should avoid harmful dieting

AKP STAFF

Actress Roh Jeong Eui, aged 22, garnered envy from many women after publicly sharing her height and weight. Known for epitomizing the 'ideal model size,' she has voiced concerns about unhealthy dieting habits among women and regretted publicly revealing her height and weight.

She stated, "In today's world, I hope young women prioritize their overall health, both physically and mentally, without obsessing over their weight."

As reported by Chosun Ilbo on February 7th, Roh Jeong Eui was interviewed regarding the Netflix original series 'Badland Hunters.' During this interview, she openly admitted, "I regret disclosing my body measurements."

Previously, Roh Jeong Eui had revealed she is 165cm (5'5") tall and weighs 39kg (~86 lbs), a body profile that surpassed the conventional model size. This revelation sparked widespread discussions among fans and garnered admiration, given its perceived unattainability.

Roh said achieving such a body profile required immense dedication and hard work. Apart from strict dietary control, she maintained her physique through consistent exercise routines. However, she highlighted a concerning trend where individuals prioritize rapid weight loss over holistic well-being, leading to detrimental effects on both physical and mental health.


Addressing this issue, Roh Jeong Eui emphasized, "Following my disclosure, I've come across instances where individuals, particularly young people, are trying unhealthy and harmful approaches to dieting." She further advised, "It's crucial for them to focus on maintaining overall health rather than fixating solely on weight."

In pursuit of weight loss, some individuals unfortunately sacrifice proper nutrition by engaging in extreme dieting practices. An ideal weight calculation for women uses the formula: height (m) squared × 21. For example, a woman who is 165cm (5'5") tall would have an ideal weight of approximately 57.17kg (113 lbs).

However, deviations from these guidelines, often influenced by unrealistic standards set by models or celebrities, can foster unhealthy perceptions of body image. Extreme dieting not only strips the body of vital nutrients but can also trigger a range of adverse health effects. This is particularly concerning for adolescents in the midst of growth spurts, as it can result in irregular menstrual cycles, reproductive health issues, and psychological distress.

Over time, these practices may lead to severe health issues, such as cardiovascular problems, osteoporosis, and cognitive difficulties. This highlights the critical need for sustainable and holistic weight management approaches that prioritize overall health and well-being.

Her talking about seeing girls trying to go about losing weight "the wrong way" -- girl, you're 86 lbs. You're going about it the wrong way.

Any diet you're doing that makes you 86lb is not healthy and not 'going about it the right way'. She weighs less than my 9 year old nephew.
