Choi Jun-hee, the daughter of the late Choi Jin-sil, confessed that she experienced dating violence in the past.
Choi Jun-hee posted a lengthy message on her social media on the 19th, saying, "Does losing weight change your life? Yes. It does. A lot."
The video released alongside it included before-and-after photos of Choi Jun-hee's diet, catching attention.
She noted, "My ex-boyfriend would say every day with verbal and dating abuse, 'Aren't you grateful I'm seeing you?' 'Who would want to be with someone like you?' and would swing his hands like some jerk. A few months ago, he commented on my diet before-and-after reel, mentioning his friend, wondering what he wanted to say with that."
She added, "After losing 55 kg, my dating life changed. My perspective on people, how I am treated, and, most importantly, I learned how to respect myself. This isn't advocating for appearance-based superiority; it's a personal story of experiencing that those who care for their bodies also maintain their self-esteem."
Furthermore, Choi Jun-hee explained, "No one saved me. I had to save myself. Even my friends were more worried about me living such a life. I didn't gain a boyfriend by losing weight, but by learning to love myself through losing weight, a healthy relationship followed. Dieting isn't simply about 'losing weight.' It's a 'declaration' that allows me to live more authentically as myself."
Meanwhile, Choi Jun-hee, who struggled with lupus in the past, gained weight up to 96 kg but decided to diet with determination, losing weight down to 44 kg. Since then, she has consistently continued her dieting efforts, reaching 41 kg and drawing significant attention for losing a total of 55 kg.
Here is the full text of Choi Jun-hee's post.
Does losing weight change your life?
Yes. It does. A lot.
My ex-boyfriend would say every day with verbal and dating abuse,
"Aren't you grateful I'm seeing you?"
"Who would want to be with someone like you?"
He was such a jerk, flailing his hands.
A few months ago, he commented on my diet before-and-after reel,
mentioning his friend, wondering what he wanted to say with that?
After losing 55 kg, my dating life changed.
My perspective on people,
how I am treated,
and, most importantly, I learned how to respect myself.
This isn't advocating for appearance-based superiority.
It's a personal story of experiencing that those who care for their bodies also maintain their self-esteem ;-)
No one saved me.
I had to save myself.
Even my friends were more worried about me living such a life.
I didn't gain a boyfriend by losing weight;
instead, by learning to love myself through losing weight, a healthy relationship followed.
Dieting isn't simply about 'losing weight.'
It's a 'declaration' that allows me to live more authentically as myself.
