Sowon shared the incredible hunger she experienced while following the extreme diet. The pressure to appear perfect in the K-pop industry drives idols to adopt very restrictive eating patterns, highlighting the cruel side of the entertainment world that often prioritizes appearance over health.

The strict diet that Sowon is undergoing becomes even harder because of her group mate, Yerin. Yerin intentionally tempts Sowon by mentioning fatty foods like jjajangmyun and ramen, which only makes Sowon more tempted to break the strict diet she is following.

Holding back her unbearable hunger almost makes Sowon cry when she hears the names of her favorite foods. This moment shows how tough the struggle is for an idol to maintain their appearance in order to meet the expectations of fans and the K-pop industry, which demands many sacrifices.
