New girl group G-Friend sat down for an interview for the first time ever since debuting, showing some signs of nerves, which quickly went away as they became more comfortable and talkative.  The youthful six members with an average age of 18 were revealed to have undergone training for at least 1.5 years and at most 5 years not only from their current agency but also from other ones, such as Cube, CJ, Loen, and DSP!

Yerin said, "It hasn't hit me yet that we debuted.  We don't have a cell phone or laptop, so we don't go on the internet much.  Once in a while, we go on a company computer to look at music sites, and we wondered if the G-Friend that would rank [on the music site] was really us.  Everything is still very fascinating."

Umji said, "When we were doing the pre-recording for a music show, our fans came for which I was very grateful.  There are no chances for me to express my gratitude except to write on the fan cafe and wave my hands in the car when we're going somewhere.  I want to quickly and intimately greet my fans and share things with them through a fan meeting or fan signing event.  And whenever I see the fans, I think I need to work harder."

In relation to their song and concept reminding everybody of Girls' Generation from the get-go, Sowon and Umji said, "When we first heard the guide for the song 'Glass Bead,' we felt the 90's girl group vibe rather than that of a Girls' Generation song.  We think that showing the image of girls who are young but overflowing with health and vigor is something we can only do at this age.  We wanted to show our energetic and playful side in school, so we tried our best, but it appears to have come off similarly [to Girls' Generation].  Anyways, we are of course grateful that people thought of Girls' Generation when they saw us.  We think it also makes us feel more responsible to work harder."

They also revealed they dieted since they were trainees, although they were the types to not gain weight.  They ate mostly salads as rice was not allowed, expressing the difficulty of maintaining a diet.  

Are you a fan of this new girl group yet?

SISTAR’s Bora and Soyu will be hitting the gym in next week, showing how they maintain their healthy bodies that they are famous for.

On the January 8 episode of MBC Everyone’s “SISTAR’s Showtime,” a scene where Soyu visits her health club will air. As is expected from the representative healthy-beauty idol, she works out using a variety of health equipment comfortably.

In particular, Soyu attracted attention for completing difficult ab and lower body exercises on her own with perfect form.

On the episode, Bora shows that she is also a work-out veteran. Even though she doesn’t normally do weights as part of her exercise routine, with Soyu’s one-on-one coaching, she is able to do challenging exercises with ease.

The two girls discuss the difficulties of maintaining their figure over salad after the high-intensity exercise, and they choose ‘becoming picky with food’ as the worst side effect of dieting. Because they had to constantly watch what they ate since their trainee days, they now don’t even want to look at chicken breast or bananas. It is a glimpse at Sistar’s tremendous efforts in maintaining their beautiful figures.

Soyu and Bora’s figure-maintaining secrets will be revealed on January 8 at 6 P.M. KST on the first episode of “SISTAR’s Showtime.”

Model Han Hye Jin said, "Eggs and sweet potatoes are my staple. I eat salads and fruit salads. I only eat half a ramen. I only eat egg whites, and in place of carbohydrates that I take out, I eat broccoli and other vegetables."

MC Kim Sung Joo asked, "Yewon, do you maintain yourself to this point too?"  She simply responded, "I just don't eat and starve myself." One participant, however, made everybody laugh by saying, "I saw Yewon drinking a caramel macchiato."

Han Hye Jin responded, "The nutrients she should take in from other sources, Yewon takes in from caramel macchiatos. However, that's really taking in only calories. I don't just cut off all food."

Suzy's weight has been fluctuating since 2011. She's usually praised for her pretty face but was called out for her weight few times in her career. For the past years (since 2013) she's been losing weight and now she's looking thinner than ever, her weight loss is quite noticeable just by looking at her face.
Suzy debuted at a young age so of course her weight would fluctuate. She was never "fat", I think she just has a larger frame comparing to other female idols.

Happy New Year everyone!
