Jump rope with Yoobin of the Wondergirls

yoobin_0904231

Sounds boring? It probably is.

Yoobin, the rapper of the Wondergirls, recently lashed out on her Cyworld page regarding her weight. To prove that she’s not a heifer, the  and tanned member posted up new photos of herself hanging out in New York.

The 21 year old writes how she will no longer let the criticisms of others affect her.  Rather,  she is proud of her weight now because instead of following the skinny trend like the rest of the Wondergirls, she is focusing on eating right and exercising  more than she was during her promotional activities in Korea. We have never heard of anyone moving to the U.S. and losing weight and becoming healthier. Generally the opposite happens- you get chubbier because of the huge 3 person portions and cheap (and accessible) junk food.

With that said, she has recently revealed the secret to her maintaining a healthier lifestyle. Besides the healthy eating which is the basic for any diet health plan, she stated that jumping rope 1,000 times a day has really got her metabolism pumping and body slim.

Looks like something’s working, the sporting goods store better stock up on new ropes and maybe Yoobin will be able to snatch up an advertising deal with it.

    OMG!
    Why are they bashing on her about her weight??
    At least she found out another way to maintain a healthy body, and not look too skinny.
    She looks fine the way she is.

    Okay…..

    I can assume that fatty is just trying too hard to be slutty. Instead of being so lazy, she needs to just take a popsicle stick down her throat and purge herself until she’s healthy again. That’s what I have my little sister do anyway, although “little” is pushing it. Yoobin’s never going to measure up to Tiffany anyway. SNSD fighting!!!

      what the hell…
      and smart has no e.

      shut the hell up…stupid SNSD fan..YooBin is fine the way she is..and not a typical SNSD girl whom look like clones with no personalities of their own!!

    • 12 Yakashi Yumi. April 25, 2009 at 8:52 am

      What does SNSD have anything to do about Yoobin not caring about her wieght. Could you not bother typing something pointless like ” SNSD fighting ” if SNSD has no relation to this subject whatsoever. If you want me to prove you right check out the damn tags. Yoobin isn’t even fat, she’s normal wieght. “I can assume that fatty is just trying too hard to be slutty.” < That totally makes no sense. Prove me how exactly Yoobin is trying too hard to be slutty.
      P.S. You make your sister throw up to get thin? That’s disgusting.

    aww yeah! i love yoobin! skipping is soo good for u too…well done

  9. 14 coffeeluva April 24, 2009 at 1:00 pm

    they should leave her alone!! at least she’s not skinny as a stick. being a bit chubby can look good on people.
    besides, yoobin is awesome and can RAP. plus she’s pretty

  10. 15 ax04 April 24, 2009 at 1:51 pm

    She looks good either way!

    It’s always a lose-lose situation with Popseoul. If they are skinny, they are anorexic, if they gained a few pounds then they are fat.

    Any more Lee Min-ho news, Popseoul? ….

  11. 16 gutchetka April 24, 2009 at 2:06 pm

    good for her’she care about her health’ she find ways to maintain her health in good ways …

  13. 18 chiara13 April 24, 2009 at 7:06 pm

    nothing wrong with being chubby but she’s not one of us~

    just because America is light years beyond Korea when it comes to addressing body image issues that affect young women, doesn’t mean that we’re all fat, Popseoul! it’s quite sad that your site constantly calls young women “fat” who are by no means fat! get out of the dark ages, Korea! i think Popseoul is probably some fat @ss who hides behind her computer all day, jealous of how healthy & beautiful normal women look. or maybe she’s just one of those skinny asian girls with no boobs and a flat @ass, and that’s why she’s jealous? lol. either way, Popseoul, you should try to uplift your female stars instead of tear them down–because there will always be men who will gladly do that for you.

    Can anyone translate this? Talking about walnut snacks with red beans? wtf.

    It’s only a matter of time Korean trend catches the Western “curve” and everybody starts putting on more weight. But of course, Koreans don’t have the genetic makeup to pull that off. They just become saggy. :D

  21. 26 yunjaeism April 25, 2009 at 1:43 am

    yay for YooBin !
    i agree with what she says and i’m glad she’s not one who goes for skinny diet,but healthy diet.
    way to go girl ;D

  22. 27 joelib April 25, 2009 at 3:59 am

    “To prove that she’s not a heifer, the and tanned member posted..”

    nice..really makes a lot of sense..

    • 28 kitsune26 April 25, 2009 at 5:11 am

      right! you would think that Popseoul would try to have better grammar & punctuation while insulting someone. her posts are usually at a 4th grade english level anyway, so i’m not surprised. lol.

  23. 29 loonylovegood121 April 25, 2009 at 6:22 am

    Well i think YooBin is fantastic the way she is…!!!…i absolutely love her..and i hope she just doesn’t waste too much time thinking of what these haters think of her…

    YOU GOT TO BE RATED TO BE HATED!!!

  24. 30 xmisseazyx April 27, 2009 at 11:00 am

    Yoobin looks great and if she feels great, even better. Not to down any of the other wondergirls on their being so thin because I’d think they like themselves the way they are too and work hard to stay that way. If Yoobin likes her body and she’s healthy then people should leave her alone

  25. 31 wingedvoice April 28, 2009 at 12:29 pm

    Yoobin looks and is perfect the way she is.
    she is a perfect role model for everyone.

    shes not fat.
    she is average.
    people just say that she is chubby
    because shes not anorexic.

    she is healthier than any other singers
    nowadays. she gets all the nutrition she needs
    and, she even exercises!!!!

    shes exactly the kind of celebrity the world needs.
    most importantly, unlike all the other korean
    celebrities, she can sing/rap.
    and she does a pretty good job of it,
    especially when shes performing live.

  26. 32 bee May 6, 2009 at 8:21 pm

    YAY for YOOBIN!

    DON’T LISTEN TO WHAT THEY SAY!!!
    its not like they’re HOT like her!
    teeheeheehee.

  27. 33 Alex Kwon June 9, 2009 at 8:36 am

    Yoobin has absolutely NOTHING to prove to anyone else, if she wants to start excercising and stuff, its because SHE wants to and not because she’s trying to make a point, i always thought that she looked awesome and sexy and a little more meat on her bones just adds to that. its possible for a person to NOT be stick thin and still be healthy (and by the way, since when did being skinny mean that a person was healthy?) Yoobin’s hot, she the shiz!! ;-)

  28. 34 jesse August 18, 2009 at 6:17 pm

    good 4 u.
    besides u didt need it u were AND are beautiful.

  29. 35 jesse August 18, 2009 at 6:18 pm
