Jisoo’s Chubby Era: A Story of Confidence and Tteokbokki
BLACKPINK’s Jisoo recently shared a hilarious and empowering story about her trainee days on the YouTube show, Dex’s Fridge Interview. She revealed how she confidently told Yang Hyun Suk of YG Entertainment that she loved being chubby, a moment that shows her strong sense of self-acceptance.
A Trainee’s Rebellion: Food
Dex asked Jisoo about her trainee days, wondering if she ever broke the rules. Jisoo’s response was refreshingly honest: her biggest rebellion was her love for food. She joked about how she would think, “I’m perfect, so why are they telling me not to eat? I’m going to eat tteokbokki!”
Jisoo explained that she was quite chubby as a trainee. While the company encouraged her to lose weight, she always insisted that she needed to eat and that she liked herself just the way she was.
A Bold Encounter with Yang Hyun Suk
Jisoo even recounted a memorable interaction with Yang Hyun Suk, the founder of YG Entertainment. When he suggested she lose weight, she replied with unwavering confidence, “No! I like myself chubby!” She described his reaction as one of amused bewilderment, as he walked away thinking she was “a weird one.”
From Chubby to Chic: A Natural Transformation
Jisoo’s story takes a fun turn. She shared that after debuting with BLACKPINK, she naturally lost weight. She then described a later interaction with Yang Hyun Suk: “Later, after I debuted and naturally lost weight, he was like, ‘You didn’t lose weight when I told you to, but now that you debuted, you did.’”
Fans have praised Jisoo for her honesty and her body positivity. Her story is a reminder that self-acceptance is powerful and that true confidence shines through. You can catch the full interview on Dex’s Fridge Interview on YouTube.
