On April 29th, singer/actress Park Jung Ah appeared as a guest on Fashion N’s “Actress House” and revealed that she had lost 20kg through dieting.
Park Jung Ah began, “Pictures from my high school years that headlined online were from when I weighed 60kg. When I first joined Jewelry, everyone else like Seo In Young was so skinny, I felt inferior.”
She continued, “As a way to hide it, I’d be the only one wearing pants in our group when we began promoting. Fans created all sorts of rumors about me hiding my legs.” When asked how she lost so much weight, she unfortunately replied, “As opposed to exercising, I needed a quick way out so I went to the extremes and starved myself.”
Former and fellow Jewelry member Seo In Young revealed her own story of overcoming a slump in her career by stating, “For months at a time, we weren’t able to sleep when we were at the height of our popularity. We had to go on various variety shows and promote our album simultaneously.”
She continued, “Because we have to talk so much on variety shows, our throats would suffer and we wouldn’t be able to give our best on stage. Once when my voice wouldn’t come out at all on stage, I came back to the waiting room and just cried my heart out. My slump came when we were the most popular. I realized then that I wasn’t truly happy.”
Despite the popularity of her casting in “We Got Married“, the singer went on to reveal that it wasn’t as romantic as the show made it seem. “Dozens of cameras are always following you. At one point, I thought I was being filmed even in my dreams. I’d wake up in the middle of the night every night, checking to see if there were cameras filming me.”
