  • BTS’ V has his own ‘special’ food habit while IU came back with healthier diet tips after her extreme ‘IU diet challenge’
  • Netflix’s Start-Up K-drama star Bae Suzy loves a high-protein, low-carb diet, and Jennie eats porridge and enjoys Pilates and flying yoga

We can all probably agree that we want to be more like our favourite K-pop idols – especially in our looks. One of the easiest ways we can follow our heroes is to adopt a healthier diet.

With the summer coming, let’s take a look to see if we can learn something from how the stars eat to help us get into shape.

If you are a real Army – the official name of BTS’ fans – you are probably already aware that V has never talked about following any type of diet to keep his body fit and trim. He seems to be blessed in the way he boasts of indulging in his favourite foods whenever he wants. But how does he stay fit then?

 

During a live-stream on Naver, V shared his “special” food habit – not stressing while eating. He suggested just enjoying the experience and said thinking happy thoughts while eating would help you not to gain weight.

This seems a little like nonsense, so perhaps his real secret was revealed during the same live-stream, when he reminded viewers that they should make exercise one of their hobbies. He even suggested that playing video games can count as exercise.
