Heo Yi Jae has forgotten to eat

20080212heo1.jpg

If you want to lose an unhealthy amount of weight then try the Heo Yi Jae way! Star in a horrible sequel (Goong S) with ESL student #2, Se7en, and then don’t eat. Now see that weight drop off!

The 21 year old actress is back from an 8 month hiatus and showed up looking like a twig at the press conference for her new drama series, Single Papa in Love. Oh ji Ho stars as a single father who is a pest terminator by day and K-1 fighter by night. Catchy. Heo Yi Jae will play the role of Jeon Ha Ri, a medical student and an only daughter of a rich family who falls in love with the K-1 pest fighting daddy. Hopefully this drama will do well and Miss Yi Jae puts some bulgogi down her throat cause the girl sure needs it.

Single Papa in Love will air on February 18th on KBS.

  2. 2 Carol February 13, 2008 at 2:23 pm

  3. 3 Inok February 13, 2008 at 2:27 pm

  4. 4 Inok February 13, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    “She doesn’t have ” —-> I want to say she doesn’t have any obvious disgusting-thin sign…

  5. 5 ok February 13, 2008 at 2:32 pm

    calling these popstars ESL students is too much. what do you do with all that time in your hands, if you can’t speak each other’s language? and he’s beyond hot?

    the mind reels :P

  6. 6 to lalala February 13, 2008 at 2:47 pm

  10. 10 EM February 13, 2008 at 3:10 pm

    she looks sick. go eat already.

  11. 11 hm February 13, 2008 at 3:13 pm

    how is it offensive to say they’re ESL students? lol

  12. 12 janepak February 13, 2008 at 3:16 pm

    i’d be afraid to touch her .. i think if i did she’d shatter into a million pieces. good Lord woman! eat some buckets of fat! or something!!

  13. 13 selina February 13, 2008 at 3:17 pm

    Scary! I’m going to eat some extra food for her in mind right now.

  14. 14 selina February 13, 2008 at 3:19 pm

    with her in mind* :P

  15. 15 yeli February 13, 2008 at 3:22 pm

    wow…she’s really thin O.O

    i hope she doesn’t have an eating disorder…

    and is anyone else worried/turned off by the fact that she is going to play Oh Ji Ho’s love interest? no offense, but they are both not that great in the acting department..and yet they were paired together? hhmmm..i don’t know…sounds like another flop…but hopefully they prove me wrong and have great chemistry (isn’t he like 11 years older than her? o.O)

  16. 16 anthony February 13, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    I think if I throw a bogger on her she’ll fall and get sick. Hahahahah….

  17. 17 Jamenn February 13, 2008 at 3:42 pm

    anthony, shut up. Go get stabbed in the neck or something.

    You guys certain have no sympathy for her, huh? Geez.

  18. 18 May February 13, 2008 at 4:15 pm

    how is she even able to walk? won’t those fragile legs crack or sumtin?

  19. 19 Bluelily February 13, 2008 at 4:19 pm

    I really don’t see a need to comment on her weight. She could be going through a difficult time.

  20. 20 junsu(DBSK)fan February 13, 2008 at 4:33 pm

    oh gawd..no..she looks unhealthy..i hope she eats more..

  21. 21 nomu February 13, 2008 at 4:35 pm

    she doesn’t seem to have any eating disorder…or else she won’t have plumpy cheeks…would she???

  22. 22 daneil February 13, 2008 at 4:51 pm

    her legs look gross
    her head doesn’t look proportunate to her new thin body.
    those gloves are atrocious

  23. 23 donutpuffs February 13, 2008 at 4:58 pm

    aww.. yeah her legs do look twiggy huh? but her upper half looks pretty normal, her collar bones aren’t poppin’ out or nething

  24. 24 nikki February 13, 2008 at 5:11 pm

    perhaps her legs are naturally thin? who knows…but it doesn’t look attractive that’s for sure.

  25. 25 snow February 13, 2008 at 5:16 pm

    she totally is not compatible with him in the looks department i wanted song hye hyo to act with him or someone prettier

  26. 26 kimchi February 13, 2008 at 6:13 pm

    ^ song hye kyo is ugly imo
    and you guys are just jealous of her skinny legs!

  27. 27 xoxo February 13, 2008 at 6:59 pm

    woah.. skinny legs.. but try to eat more cause the legs are too skinny.. ^^

  28. 28 Aya (Not logged in) February 13, 2008 at 8:42 pm

    I like her jacket top!! I dont think she looks too skinny….

  29. 29 gobuki February 13, 2008 at 9:35 pm

    its normal… many koreans are that size… i don’t think she is too skinny. i would call her slim, not twiggy ^ ^

  30. 30 Chantelle February 13, 2008 at 9:36 pm

    The “ESL stuff pisses me off.

    But anyways really she’s at an unhealthy weight anyone that thinks she looks “good” or even “perfect” need to get their eyes checked. Skinny is unhealthy being fit and in shape and at a healthy weight with some HEALTHY meat on your bones is always a beautiful thing. I can’t understand how anyone would be jealous of a fragile looking woman.

    There are people that are just naturally thin so you never know but she does look a bit smaller. I hardly understand what attracts people to be so thin it’s very unappealing.

  31. 31 alucan February 13, 2008 at 9:48 pm

    Yi Jae ssi, this sandiwch i eat, i dedicate to you.

  32. 32 ana February 13, 2008 at 9:53 pm

    Her legs are too skinny, the wind would easily blow her away…

  33. 33 spin February 13, 2008 at 10:29 pm

    she looks fine ~ its called TONED thighs….. thighs aren’t suppose to be loose and blubbery…

  34. 34 Jane. February 13, 2008 at 10:58 pm

    Uhh, spin? Toned thighs aren’t supposed to look like they’re about to break. They’re supposed to have some muscle on them, and Yi Jae has none- it’s rather unhealthy. The width of her thighs and her calves are almost the same! I hope she gains some weight..

  35. 35 cherry_o February 13, 2008 at 11:20 pm

    she looks like she’s going to break…i thought she looked fine in goong s….but now, she’s totally too skinny.

  36. 36 for real February 13, 2008 at 11:41 pm

    dumb girls lose weight by not eating. she’s so desperate, pity her.

  37. 37 kate February 14, 2008 at 12:08 am

    @for real: You’re a fking dumbass. How do you know wants to lose weight? Maybe she’s gotten a lot of stress and pressure from something?? And people like you aren’t making the situation any better.

  38. 38 joetas February 14, 2008 at 12:11 am

    I like korean girls i will like to comunica with them as friend.

    I am from africa ok

    Thanks and remain blessed

    Joe

  39. 39 Dumpling February 14, 2008 at 12:18 am

    She’s mostly skin and bones, but how does she look different than most of the other Korean actresses? They are all underweight.

  40. 40 maltesers February 14, 2008 at 12:29 am

    her legs are stick thin but her cheeks are chubby..

    she looked a lot better in Goong S..

  41. 41 Kristen February 14, 2008 at 1:03 am

    If you hadn’t said, “Goong S,” I would have never figured out who she was omg. So different! She doesn’t look scary until you see those stick legs!

  42. 42 Sarai February 14, 2008 at 1:14 am

    Skinny and unhealthy are two different things. She looks like she’s sick. Definitely an unhealthy look.
    I do hope she’s okay, though.

  43. 43 Brina February 14, 2008 at 2:25 am

    Are you guys effin SERIOUS?! Her legs are NOT attractive or healthy. It’s sad that half of you are wishing you looked like her. I feel bad for her..
    She obviosly has a eating disorder. Even those Korean women who do have small thighs, don’t look like their thighs are about to break.

    Seriously, You guys should be wishing her good luck on getting healthy again..not wishing you had her legs.

  44. 44 nina February 14, 2008 at 2:48 am

    oh my…it’s obvious she’s been starving herself. just look at her face in comparison with the rest of her body. those legs are just skeletal! when a person starves herself, her face remains the same, very round and quite normal, but the body, due to the sudden weight drop, becomes fragile. she really does need to eat more, she might have eating disorder too the poor girl. i really hope asian women do change this horrible ideal to look like 13 year old boys, so skinny and flat chested. do asian men like hugging these pointy females or something lol. but in all seriousness she’s really a pretty girl, i hope she gets herself together soon.

  45. 45 Star February 14, 2008 at 6:31 am

    She’s not THAT skinny compared to Nicole Richie ^_^ She’s soo pretty too! :)

  46. 46 hanbelle February 14, 2008 at 7:24 am

    she has the legs of an anorexic model
    not attractive

  47. 47 Jennifer February 14, 2008 at 8:52 am

    ~*~*Yeah, I’m sorry but the girl has got to eat something because she does not look good. I hope she gets better soon. Good Luck! and Wishing You the Best! :) *~*~

  48. 48 Tyra February 14, 2008 at 9:18 am

    if her thighs were bigger she’d be ok.

  49. 49 Machi February 14, 2008 at 9:20 am

    shes so pretty >< my second favorite actress after Kim Tae Hee.. shes still cute

  50. 50 Mauel February 14, 2008 at 9:34 am

    Let’s see the before and after pic

  51. 51 joyce February 14, 2008 at 9:37 am

    wow.. i just want to give her food right now..
    the first time i saw her fragile figure in busan intl film festival..i was really shocked..

    eat something dear

  52. 52 Meru February 14, 2008 at 10:06 am

    I’ve seen skinnier– actual bones wearing the skin like stockings, but she does look unhealthy. Girls living in Asian are really into the anorexia look unfortunately, not implying she’s forcing herself to look this way, coz who knows.

  53. 53 timeout February 14, 2008 at 10:15 am

    Anyone who thinks that is normal is off their rocker. True there is no such things as anorexia in korea, girls mistakenly think that being too thin is ok, not eating is ok. Her collar bone is sticking out and what little of her chest you can see in the last picture u can tell is sunken in. She only looks half way ok because of the fluffy dress hiding her skeletal structure, and the sheer glimmer tights make her legs look not as sickly thin but they are. If you all saw her in person you would know something is not healthy about it. There are ppl who are thin but that girl if she wore revealing clothes like a bathing suit like we’ve seen nicole richie wearing, you would see not a thin girl but someone sickly thin. Tone thighs you have to be kidding me.

  54. 54 deet February 14, 2008 at 10:25 am

    I know, what the heck happened to her? She was so cute and pretty and most importantly healthy (or at least healthy-looking) in Goong S. Then she went all emo. Now she looks sick.

    I actually like this girl. I just hope she would start being healthy again.

  55. 55 Sakura February 14, 2008 at 10:34 am

    Oh please… if you stand straigh up and still can’t see your collar bone, you’re a pig!!!

    http://www.party-favors.biz/pahs-prom-2004/pahs-prom-2004-50 . jpg

    Even with these girls we can see their collar bone!!! Are they thin? NO! Are they big? Somewhat. Are they fat? Not yet (and yes, they are FAT if they are in Asia, super thick i must say! ~but with the so called “American” standard!!! if you’re not 300lps, you ain’t fat yet!!!!) So, are they normal size? Bingo bingo!!!!!!

    Not to mention in the first picture we can hardly see her collar bone. It’s all the light and the angle that make the difference.

    And yeah, i don’t see her chest sunken in either. Did we look at the same pic?

  56. 56 ^^ February 14, 2008 at 10:58 am

    she looks good

  57. 57 lim33853 February 14, 2008 at 11:09 am

    i wondered how an anorexic “virginia” looks like?

    does it lose extra skin down there?

    its a question i often ask myself

    its 1 of the mysteries of life

    something to think about

    goodnight

  58. 58 Pogi February 14, 2008 at 1:26 pm

    She looks fine. Gosh, Popseoul is harsh…

  59. 59 Cassidy February 14, 2008 at 1:30 pm

    Oh, my O.O. She looks skinnier than me now. And how old is she again? The first thing that I thought of when I read the plot was “big age difference.”

  60. 60 spin February 14, 2008 at 2:09 pm

    @ Jane

    haha, probably because her legs are almost like mine. Her’s are a bit skinnier.

    Legs don’t have to look like porkchops to be tasty.

  61. 61 christina February 14, 2008 at 2:26 pm

    she’s way to skinny. even for korean standards.

  62. 62 christina February 14, 2008 at 2:27 pm

    oh and what’s gross is that she doesn’t even have any muscles.

  63. 63 Dovey February 14, 2008 at 3:38 pm

    Her legs look thin, but her face doesn’t. Somehow, to me, that doesn’t add up. How much does she weigh? Anyone know?

  64. 64 sexychikita February 14, 2008 at 6:33 pm

    i find her pretty in goong s, she looks loke kim tae hee. or maybe it’s because of the eyes. btw, her legs are so skinny. good thing her face doesn’t look one. love her cheeks.:D

  65. 65 sexychikita February 14, 2008 at 6:35 pm

    @ kimchi- hun, your the first person i’ve heard who says Song hye-gyo is ugly. ugh. i think your just jealous.

  66. 66 suga February 15, 2008 at 6:10 am

    i guess asians are born with round face, she just have nice legs i guess
    i fast forward through all of GoongS lol

  67. 67 bloo February 15, 2008 at 7:29 am

    Poor girl. She’s probably trying to lose the baby fat on her face, but it didn’t. Her face is still chubby.

  68. 68 lisa February 15, 2008 at 7:37 am

    aww shes soo pretty but she should eat. i mean skinny is pretty but eating is pretty too just the right amount poor girl

  69. 69 timeout February 15, 2008 at 11:02 am

    yeah we are looking at the same picture and if you do a close up on it you can tell her chest is suken in, there are plenty of asian woman who are naturally thin and to be honest i’m not comparing her to an american standard but rather a korean one, and when your head is bigger than the rest of your body there is something wrong. but i have the right to think whatever i want cause the only one with a last word is her. She’s the only one that knows if she’s starving herself. But i think it’s funny to see that the majority of ppl who have commented on her think she looks great like that and probabily think she could lose even more weight to be perfect.

  70. 70 Love2Read February 15, 2008 at 11:52 am

    Hopefully it is just a bad camera angle because she definitely looks a bit unhealthy

  71. 71 Sakura February 15, 2008 at 3:32 pm

    @ timeout:
    yeah….there are pp like that b/c there are pp like you who think she’s way to skinny and need to eat!

    And yeah, sadly, we don’t think the same, i think she’s not that anorexic thin yet..

  72. 72 jin February 15, 2008 at 3:53 pm

    she’s not too skinny

  73. 73 Sae February 15, 2008 at 4:22 pm

    Maybe the failure of Goong S pushed her over the edge, and led her to be anorexic. Poor girl.

  74. 74 kylie February 16, 2008 at 3:39 am

    mmmmmmmmmm bulgogi ^_^

  75. 75 HYJ = anorexic? February 16, 2008 at 8:30 am

    I have JUICY GOSSIP on Heo Yi Jae. I didn’t watch Goong S at all cauz I thought Goong 1 was boring as it is so I almost forgot this piece of information.

    My friend’s Korean friend went to the SAME HIGH SCHOOL as her and guess what she said about Heo Yi Jae:

    Apparently, HYJ has ALWAYS been like this. She does NOT eat like a normal person. During lunch time, she only eats fruits and vegetables sliced up and goes home and eats some more fruits and vegetables. During class time, she literally sits up with her back straight because she thinks if she keeps her stomach straight, it will keep the stomach fat away. Even when she is about to fall asleep, she keeps her back straight until the end of the day. I think she said HYJ also excercises too much. She is obsessed about her looks, and there were rumors at her school that she slept her way to get the role in Goong S or did enormous favors because apparently, in Korea, it is hard to become a celebrity without certain connections or amazing talent. We all know she has zero talent and HYJ had no connections at the time.

    Is this behavior normal? Decide for yourself if she is anorexic or has other problems.

  76. 76 HYJ = anorexic? February 16, 2008 at 8:33 am

    Oh, she also got a little bit of plastic surgery.

    Popseoul is sharp to catch her fat-phobia…I mean, her skinnyness.

  77. 77 Sakura February 16, 2008 at 9:10 am

    oh plz…. Kim Tae Hee’s talent = 0, that’s the truth, yet she is famous like hell. Did she sleep her way to the top too??????

  78. 78 Hmm February 16, 2008 at 5:30 pm

    HYJ = anorexic?

    Hey, you mean BYJ let her sleep with anyone to get the role? I think you’re making trouble for yourself.

    HYJ is a BOF talent. BOF is a company BYJ owns.
    YJ will not ruin his own reputation by letting her
    talents sleep just to get a role.

    What a dumb accusation without any solid proof.

  79. 79 sandy February 17, 2008 at 12:04 am

    @HYJ=anorexic?

    Whoever you are and if ever you are a Human being, may GoD have mercy on your soul.

    God, how can one simply utter “irresponsible” words, gossips, accusations that are not only derogatory but utterly destructive of other person.

    This blog ought to be censored or policed. Do not overuse and abuse the so-called “freedom of speech”. Some people really are just too much!!!

  80. 80 Julie February 17, 2008 at 4:45 pm

    you gotta remeber that picture ADD weight…so she’s probably thinner in real life…

    and i doubt the newspaper people are gonna be nice and airbrush crap

  81. 81 CUTIEPIEXOXO February 18, 2008 at 12:15 pm

    I think HYJ=anorexic is only repeating what she/he heard. I don’t like her either.

    A picture is worth a thousand words. She is obviously malnourished and starving herself to the brink of death.

  82. 82 lilu February 18, 2008 at 12:21 pm

    I thought she looked normal from her face b/c it looked kind of chubby and round but then i scrolled down and looked at her legs and was shocked that those legs went w/ that face. she should eat something

  83. 83 Lolly February 18, 2008 at 12:21 pm

    Actually, tons of worshipped Korean celebrities today have slept their way to the top. Think of all those talentless that get leading roles, and all those talented people not getting roles. They are so desperate they are willing to do anything, including giving over their bodies. This is the entertainment industry. You think it’s not going to be dirty or scandalous? Of course, naive foreign fans would deny this. How did a nobody become a somebody overnight? Common sense, people. And duh, the companies would make sure the scandal never goes out and they would bury it from the media.

  84. 84 Maybell February 19, 2008 at 12:43 pm

    Lolly@

    In every rule there is an exception.
    You should not generalize.
    I think you have an attitude problem.

    You think ppl are dirty bec you’re life isn’t clean.
    I still believe that actors as clean as BYJ
    can still be up there in the ent. industry without
    hurting anyone.

    Btw, BYJ isn’t friendly with the media so if anything
    like what you’re thinking is happening, the media
    will feast to ruin his name and his company.

  85. 85 sandy February 20, 2008 at 4:36 pm

    @Lolly

    What you’ve said is the general “negative” notion that is happening not only in K-entertainment but the whole world-wide entertainment. But I still maintain that not because some are doing it then everybody is doing it.

    Yours is sweeping generalization.

    Just because an actress is a newbie she is bound to sell her body and soul even to the demons just to get a share of fame???

    Han Hyo Joo’s debut drama was “Spring Waltz”. She got the role without prior experience in a drama. And its a common knowledge that Yoon Eun Hye wasn’t the first nor second choice for Goong 1. She got the role only after it was turned down by 2 other actresses. Does this mean also that these two young ladies slept their way in exchange for a “lead role” in a drama as their debut. And how can an audience judge an artist being “talentless” without first giving them a break? Without having seen them on-screen?

    And you say that the “talented” ones do not get the role?
    Have you asked why? Have you done your homework? No! As obviously you already have a mind-set that the “talentless” are getting the parts from these “talented” ones after sleeping their way through. Have you not even thought that “talent” equals a high talent fee. This has been what producers have been complaining about these so-called “talented” artists commanding unreasonably high fees that they end up risking on neophytes with the potentials to make it big.

    I am not a fan of this Heo Yi Jae or Han Hyo Joo or any artist who started her way as a newbie.

    I just find the sweeping generalization utterly unfair and unjust.

    And don’t you dare lecture about foreign fans’ being all so naive and blind about these things. As I’ve said, I am not a fan of any of these neophyte artists but if ever I am, I’d rather be labeled as “naive” than someone “without a conscience” in just merely thinking much more in saying that the life of another individual is DIRTY.

  86. 86 jen February 23, 2008 at 10:56 pm

    I completely agree with timeout, the dress and jacket are making her upper body appear normal.

  87. 87 김상윤 April 16, 2008 at 2:54 pm

    OMFG you got 허이재’s age totally wrong on the post…..
    yea i got scared but she should be better now i loved her in single dad in love freaken awesome but the ending got me….
