Who is Song Ga-in?
Okay, so if you’re not deep into the Korean music scene beyond K-Pop, you might not know Song Ga-in. Think of her as the Taylor Swift of trot music! She’s a huge deal, especially after winning the massive audition program ‘Miss Trot’ back in 2019. Born in Jindo, a place famous for its rich musical traditions, she actually studied traditional Korean music (pansori) in university. This background gives her voice this incredible power and soul that has won over the hearts of Koreans of all ages.
The 44kg Reveal
So, the big news is about her weight loss journey. Song Ga-in shared on her Instagram that the scale hit 44.1 kg, which is around 97 pounds. She posted it with a caption saying, “Working hard on singing! Working hard on exercising!” which is super motivating. For context, she’s about 153cm (around 5’0″), so it was a noticeable change that had fans and the media buzzing. While she’s since said her weight fluctuates, achieving that number was a huge personal milestone.
Spilling the Diet Secrets
Everyone wanted to know how she did it, and she’s been pretty open about her methods. It wasn’t some magic pill, but a lot of hard work and discipline. One of her biggest rules was no eating after 6 PM. She also cut back on her favorite foods like pork ribs (galbi) and kimbap. It sounds tough, but she said she was really strict with her diet.
Another one of her secret weapons? Ginger tea! She said it’s great for her throat, which is a must for a singer, but it also helped with her diet. Ginger is known to boost your metabolism and help with blood circulation, which can totally help with weight management. On top of diet, she made sure to get her exercise in, often using a running machine at home when her schedule was too packed to go out.
A Healthy Balance
Recently, she appeared on a TV show and mentioned that during her busiest schedules, she sometimes lost weight simply because she had no time to eat. However, she also emphasized the difficulty of maintaining that weight with an irregular lifestyle on the road. While her 44kg figure was inspiring, she’s also been open about not wanting to stress too much, saying, “I’m neither an actor nor an idol, so I just eat happily when I eat.” It seems she’s found a happy, healthy balance that works for her, and honestly, we love that for her!
