Kwon Eunbi on Her Diet, Popularity, and New EP

Kwon Eunbi is causing a stir in the K-pop scene. Her remarkable transformation and burgeoning solo career have captured everyone’s attention. Known for her exceptional dancing and singing, as well as her gorgeous visuals, Eunbi has always been a crowd favorite. But her recent transformation ignited a frenzy among fans.

In the past, Eunbi was the leader of IZ*ONE. Born in 1995, people often said that she looked a bit like Red Velvet‘s Irene. Eunbi was already gorgeous then but became even more appealing when she adopted a more sensual image. Her appearance at the Waterbomb Nagoya music festival was a hot topic on social media. She tore up the stage with an electrifying performance. Her summery outfits also got people talking—in a good way, mind you.

Fans received Eunbi‘s new image warmly. They applauded her ability to transition between different styles easily. Her increase in popularity has resulted in a surge in “love calls” from those around her. She joked about this on a recent episode of SBS’ Strong Heart League, quipping, “They should have contacted me before.”

Eunbi has been grabbing headlines

Eunbi‘s path to solo stardom has not been free of challenges. In the same episode of Strong Heart League, she disclosed the extreme diet she followed in her trainee days. It involved eating only one apple slice for breakfast and one slice every hour. Eunbi combined her diet with an intense regimen of dance lessons, singing lessons, and plenty of exercise. She did that to meet the industry’s beauty standards and increase her chances of debuting. She said that she could still function normally even after three days on that diet.

Her openness about her diet and increasing popularity left viewers deeply impressed, as proven by the 4.7% rating the episode got (quite high for the show).

Eunbi has also been grabbing headlines for her music. Her first single album, The Flash, will drop on August 2. It features tracks like “Beautiful Night” and “Comet.”
