Instead, the members voluntarily went into a diet so that we could show more beautiful features for the fans,” furthermore, they said, “It’s a combination of dieting and exercising,” they revealed.
On the other hand, Sandara Park said, “I think I need to gain a bit more weight. But my mouth is too small and can’t take in a lot of food, so I don’t eat much. I bet you’d be surprised if you know my real weight,” she revealed with a smile.
