Singer Seo In-young spoke about dieting.

In the second episode of T-Cast E Channel's variety show "Seo In-young's Trendy Oldie," which aired on the 8th, guests engaged in a cross-generational conversation with "dieting" as the keyword.

On this day, Mimiminu revealed past photos of Seo In-young, who had become a topic of conversation for her bold pubic bone fashion. In response, Seo In-young recalled the time by saying, "That outfit got me banned from appearing on broadcast stations." Mimiminu introduced the "dieting" keyword by stating, "It is quite closely related to today's theme," and "It was a lifelong assignment for you, too, and viewers have probably worried about it at least once." Seo In-young strongly agreed, saying, "It was really hard. Dieting is a big lifelong assignment."

The two also addressed the "ppye-mara" (a neologism meaning a body type so thin that bones are visible) trend that has taken over social media not only in South Korea but worldwide. When it was introduced that a score of 120 or higher when subtracting weight from height qualifies as "ppye-mara," Seo In-young expressed concern, saying, "I am 156 cm tall, and I have gone down to 38 kg. Even then, people strangely made fun of me with headlines like 'Seo In-young's sunken cheeks update.'" Conversely, images of Seo In-young looking plump were also forcibly brought up. Seo In-young reminisced about that time by saying, "I didn't know there was so much delicious food in the world," and "While going through my divorce, I ate soju with sundae (blood sausage) and gopchang-bokkeum (stir-fried intestines), went straight to sleep, woke up again, and ate more."

As various stories about weight and dieting continued, Pungja appeared as a "one-day student." Pungja, who described herself as an "ongoing dieter," revealed that she had lost 37 kg as of today, surprising Seo In-young and Mimiminu.

The three also talked about stars who became topics of conversation for being "ppye-mara." Kim Min-ha, who lost 17 kg; Go Hyun-jung, who became a topic for her slim figure; and Kim Hye-soo, who wore the same clothes as IZ*ONE's Yuna but styled them with different charms, were introduced. Seo In-young empathized with Kim Hye-soo's revelation that managing her weight to wear a dress at year-end award ceremonies was difficult, stating, "The older you get, losing 1 or 2 kg is no easy feat." Pungja also shared an episode involving an awards ceremony dress. Pungja said, "Fittings are so hard. I often lose weight after a fitting, but in my case, I gained more weight within half a month. My back was all stretched out when I went up on the awards stage," eliciting laughter.

Along with this, the conversation continued about the "hot body" war ignited by recent Waterbomb events. Seo In-young, who had become a topic of conversation by returning to the stage after 10 years through Waterbomb, recalled the overwhelming moment by saying, "I went out with fierce eyes, but the audience cheered 'Seo In-young,' and I broke down. I knelt down and shed tears at that cheer." She also shared her father's unexpected reaction after seeing her Waterbomb stage performance. Seo In-young said, "I thought he would say, 'Why is your outfit like that? It's vulgar,' but he said, 'You nailed it. You!' Thank you. That's so nice."

Stories about global stars' diets also followed. While Kim Kardashian's diet was being introduced, it was mentioned that she recently visited a dermatology clinic in Seoul Gangnam to show off "K-beauty flexing," and Seo In-young revealed a special connection by saying, "When I filmed 'Seo In-young's KAIST' before, I had a friend who is now working at a plastic surgery clinic. They said (Kim Kardashian) went there to flex," surprising everyone.

Pungja also shared her own diet failure story. Pungja, who challenged the Emperor Diet, said, "It was a diet focused on protein and fat, but I gained 7 kg. I just spent money and ate deliciously," bringing laughter. She then shared her difficult experience of entering a fasting facility where she only drank salt water, and introduced various recent diet foods such as konjac noodle diet japchae (stir-fried glass noodles), diet mala tang (spicy hot pot), and zero-calorie rice cakes, surprising Seo In-young.

Finally, Pungja said about dieting, "I hope you don't torment yourself too much. You need to be able to loosen up a bit. Otherwise, you can't sustain it for long," sharing a "standard" method that transcends generations.

Meanwhile, "Seo In-young's Trendy Oldie" airs every Thursday at 9 p.m. on E Channel.
