Ko So Young Reveals Weight Loss Secrets to Reach BMI 17.4
Actress Ko So Young hit the 40-kilogram range on camera for the first time in 16 years, according to a YouTube video uploaded on August 25. The actress documented her weigh-in to mark the milestone of a personal challenge announced a month earlier, detailing a gradual weight loss journey that began in March.
Weigh-In Milestone and On-Camera Results
The video titled “Ko So Young Reveals Her Miracle Diet Method For Reaching The 40-KG Range For The First Time In 16 Years (Weight Reveal)” featured the actress stepping on a scale after production staff suggested she remove her microphone and rings. The scale displayed 49.2 kg, or 108.5 lbs, confirming her entry into the 40-kg range. Before the weigh-in, Ko noted her goal to see a four at the beginning of her weight again, stating, “If I lose about 2 kg more, I’ll enter the 40-kg range.”
Gradual Lifestyle Adjustments Versus Last-Minute Measures
Ko stated that her overall reduction of 3 to 4 kg over roughly five months was the result of a gradual diet rather than rapid weight loss, which she avoided because it left her feeling drained. A primary lifestyle change involved drastically reducing alcohol consumption, virtually stopping drinking, and removing evening appointments and drinking gatherings from her schedule. Production staff observed a visible change in her face shape compared to earlier appearances.
Despite the slow approach, Ko candidly confessed to taking extreme temporary measures to ensure the scale started with a four for the camera. She admitted to fasting since the day before the weigh-in and briefly stopping water intake. “To be honest, I’ve been fasting since yesterday. I’m starving to death. I didn’t even drink water,” she said, explaining that these actions were temporary attempts to manipulate the immediate number rather than the methods behind her multi-month progress.
Future Targets and Personal Motivations
Following the weigh-in at 49.2 kg, Ko set a subsequent target of 47 kg, which is roughly 2 kg below her current weight. She noted a sentimental reason for the upcoming goal, explaining that 47 kg was approximately her weight at the time of her marriage.
