The late Choi Jin-sil's daughter and influencer Choi Jun-hee (22) recommended dieting while recalling her past battle with illness.
On the 22nd, Choi Jun-hee opened up on her SNS, saying, “During my battle with lupus autoimmune disease, it was common for me to eat five meals a day while taking high doses of steroids. At night, when the hospital lights went out, I would sneak down to the convenience store and eat six cup noodles, triangle kimbap, snacks, jelly, chocolate, and ice cream as if I were filming a mukbang alone.”
She continued, “The nurse told me, ‘Absolutely do not go to the convenience store,’ but I didn’t have the mental or physical strength to listen to that. My body was getting bigger, my face was falling apart, and I was really hitting rock bottom.”
The photos Choi Jun-hee shared from her lupus battle show hives accompanied by inflammation all over her upper body, including her neck.
She said, “I lost 50 kg from that abyss and got down to 41 kg. During that process, my skin also became clearer, and I would look in the mirror and think, ‘Oh? I look pretty good!’” She added, “The change that made me start to love myself again is more satisfying than just saying I lost weight,” and described her weight loss as a ‘life reset.’
On the 19th, she posted a video showing her before and after weight loss, saying, “Hey, ex-boyfriend who called me fat! You were caught cheating on me with another girl.”
In this context, Choi Jun-hee stated, “No one saved me. I had to save myself. My friends were more worried about me living that kind of life,” and added, “I didn’t lose weight to get a boyfriend; I learned to love myself while losing weight, and healthy relationships followed.” She also said, “Dieting is not just about ‘losing weight.’ It’s a declaration that allows me to live more authentically.”
Born in 2003, Choi Jun-hee revealed that she gained weight up to 96 kg due to her past battle with lupus but has recently lost a significant amount of weight while preparing for a body profile. She is currently communicating with her fans as an influencer.
