Sandara Reveals Story Behind 37-38kg Weight: 'I can survive with one banana a day'
After revealing that she is currently 37-38kg, Sandara Park (162cm tall) explained why she decided to return to her usual weight after initially gaining about 10kg and weighing 47kg.
Sandara Park Reveals Reason She Decided to Lose Weight Again
On July 27, Sandara Park participated as a surprise guest through a phone call on the KBS's podcast broadcast "Song Eun Yi and Kim Sook's Confidentiality."
During the conversation, Dara confessed her "소식좌" (small eater) appetite and opened up about returning to her original weight of 38kg.
In particular, the former 2NE1 member initially became a hot topic when she revealed on a YouTube show that she lost 10kg after weighing up to 47kg last year. There, Kim Sook, who worked hard for three years to make her weigh mid-40kg, expressed her frustrations after learning that she's back to being 37kg.
However, Dara replied through the call:
"I don't want to go back to that time. I realized that my weight didn't fit my body."
She continued:
"Since I was short, (47kg) was too much for me. The stylist cried and said, 'Can't you lose weight?'
When I moved to the company (ABYSS) and took (photos) for my profile, the vice president said, 'Oh, you gained a lot of weight,' so I was ashamed."

When asked how she lost weight, Sandara Park replied:
"There are times when stress comes at once. My appetite dropped sharply. Independence also played a role. I was so excited for 3 to 4 months just eating ramen, but I feel lonely and I missed home-cooked meals. I didn't have an appetite, so I was able to survive with just a banana a day. "
Aside from her appetite, Sandara Park also revealed that she doesn't eat when she's lazy.
"I am not hungry when I'm in a good mood, and I also don't feel hunger at all when I'm depressed."
Amid concerns about her eating habit, Sandara then hinted that it is innate since she was young:
"My mom was also upset. I haven't eaten since a long time ago, but I drink Yakult. I guess that's why I didn't grow. I didn't eat much. When I was in elementary school, I remember cutting a bag of ramen noodles and sharing it for a few days."

Surprising Both Song Eun Yi and Kim Sook, the MCs then went on by asking for tips on how to reduce cravings, but Dara said:
"Many people ask me how to do it, but my mouth is closed even if I don't try. You can try to get hurt very much. When I got dumped, I couldn't eat for almost a month because of sadness."
Sandara Park, who had never done weight management during her 2NE1's activities, added:
"The members always had a diet, and I ate tangbokbap and pork cutlet in front of them. I apologized to them last year when I realized (the mistake)."
Meanwhile, Sandara Park appears on the web entertainment show "Unnies Without Appetite" with Park Sohyun.
