This was also revealed in the episode “Last time [Risabae] if Ramyun was the last year.” She explained that she would rather not risk the types of foods that could cause her to gain weight or cause bloating and/or breakouts.
Risabae: If I eat [things like ramyun]I feel bloated. But I have something to photograph almost every day. I have to be in front of the camera every day. So I’d rather not be bloated.
Jun Hyun Moo: I understand. If you eat something wrong, a pimple could pop.
Risabae: When I get the occasional pimple, my subscribers like it. They can see my cover-up tricks. And they also see that my videos are all real and without edits or filters.
After the episode aired, viewers expressed concern about Risabae’s health and the potential negative impact the episode could have on younger viewers.
- “It was mentioned in the episode that he is not in good health right now. Her doctor told her to also refrain from going for walks.”
- “She’s probably trying to maintain a super slim figure because that’s how she maintains her popularity.”
- “My brother saw Risabae IRL once and said she is skinny. I guess now we know why.
- “I wish TV shows didn’t highlight extremely restrictive diets like yours.”
- “Keeping the weight on like this will come back to haunt her really badly. I hope you eat better…”
- “I was worried not only about what he was eating, but also that he had no energy.”
- “I’m so disappointed in her. I thought he was a healthy person both physically and mentally. But if this is true, then she has an eating disorder and is obsessive.”
- “But why show it on television?”
- “This is a little worrying… He’s not well, obviously. He needs to start eating.
- “He probably wouldn’t need all those nutritional supplements if he started eating a more balanced diet.”
- “This is so harmful.”
- “This is harmful content. Don’t show it to children. Younger viewers won’t know what’s right and what’s wrong and will prove it for themselves.
