IU reveals her true height and weight on ‘Strong Heart’

We recently reported that IU would reveal her true height and weight, and the nation’s little sister did exactly that.

On the May 29th episode of SBS ‘Strong Heart‘, IU was determined to set a few rumors straight.

“My bones are thin, so they can appear thin even when I have some meat on my bones,” she said. “I lost a lot of weight suddenly, and so people have been saying that I look like I am starved, and that I look like an elementary school student.”

“I want to reveal my true height and weight right here,” she added.

A weighing and height scale was then brought out into the studio, and after IU stepped on, her true height was proven to be (161.7 cm) 5’3.6″, and her weight to be roughly (44.9 kg) 99 pounds.

“On average, female celebrities weigh about 45kg (~100 pounds),” she said. “I want to now say that I too have the figure of a celebrity.”

Kara’s Kang Jiyoung, “Don’t ask me about my weight!”

 

Kara member Kang Jiyoung, affectionately known by her fans as ‘giant baby’, recently gained attention for her hilarious banter regarding her weight.

On the May 5th broadcast of KBS2TV‘s ‘Invincible Youth 2‘, the members gathered to play a game to see who was the quickest at eating crackers that were strung up on a pole. The catch was that each member who lost would be subject to standing on a weight scale.

Before the game began, comedian Boom brought up the topic of Kang Jiyoung’s weight by teasing, “We researched the G6 members’ weight on portal sites but we noticed that Kang Jiyoung’s weight didn’t show up!”

To this, Kang Jiyoung replied, “I weighted 101 lbs when I was skinniest. It’s not like that now.” When MC Kim Shin Young continued the investigation about her current weight by asking, “Are you over 110 lbs?” Jiyoung jokingly fired up and said, “Why would you ask me something like that?“, causing the set to burst into laughter.

Unfortunately, the day was far from over as Kang Jiyoung ultimately lost the game and had to dance on the weight scale as punishment. When Boom observed, “It looks like your weight won’t fall in the 90-110lbs range“, Jiyoung tried her best to side step the teases and ultimately ran away after unplugging the chord from the scale.

As all the members kept trying to get her back on the scale, Jiyoung finally gave in and jumped on the scale with all her might. The scale ultimately indicated a weight over 175lbs, drawing the hilarious incident to an end with a great laugh.
