Ailee opens up about extreme dieting

14 Aug – Korean singer Ailee recently opened up about her past extreme dieting, saying that it was the most depressing time of her life.

As reported on Korea Herald, the singer recently shared her experience on the Sunday episode of JTBC show, "Hidden Singer", when an impersonator told her that she lost 15kg to become a singer after seeing Ailee doing the same.

To that, an emotional Ailee admitted that she was unhappy despite weighing only 49 to 50kg at the time since she couldn't enjoy eating her food.

"I was saddened by the fact that I had to go on a diet in order to sing and perform on stage," she said.

Ironically, it was also because of the extreme dieting that she was not able to perform her best, said Ailee, adding that she looked her best but felt her lowest.

"So I decided not to care about how I look. I am happy now, and it is more important that I am satisfied with my singing. The most important thing is to love your own body," she said.
