A news segment in Korea highlighted and explained what Yuri did to get so slim. PUT DOWN THE GUN!!! she did not go to crazy drastic measures, here is the raw vid, unfortunately no subs but hit the jump for some translations (probably loose)
So, with some snooping and searching, some people have given translations to what the segment explains.
Under Health concerns and medical concerns, she is still HEALTHY, the only thing that has changed is her look (skinny)
The diet consists of a total of 1500 calories, experts are ok with this, only worried about the calcium content
Her diet includes: seasonal greens, 5 brocolli heads, 100g of grilled chicken breast, and 150g of brown rice and other things that add up to the calorie count
Now…..I’m gonna give my two cents…I’m no health expert…but I work out regularly and would like to explain why I still kind of disagree with her regimen.
If she did train for Japan, it means that she is aiming for the national average of 45-50kg. A dancer (or really any high explosive athlete) needs over 2000cal to help out with the amount of constant exercise, and knowing Yuri, she is reported to have worked very hard to get that slim and is using the flex belt properly, I’m just worried the lack of energy intake will bite her down the road.
Take it for what you will, I’m very happy that she is taking the healthiest route to get to her goal, but I still prefer the Yuri of old, and I’m worried about that energy intake.
Note: before you flame, this is an opinion, take it with a grain of salt, I still love you all equally XD

SNSD Korean 
I prefer her chubby T.T
Please come back to us healthy yuri!!!!
technically and medically she IS healthy still, just skinny now
Actually she’s probably not healthy. She is probably underweight like Seohyun (and the rest of SNSD), don’t you remember the goguma ep. where they go to the Hospital? And Yuri is skinnier than Seo.
Being underweight doesn’t automatically mean someone is unhealthy. Statements like that are offensive toward people who are naturally skinnier than “average”.
bring back curvy yuri!
Although they’ve made it a point we don’t harp on them for their health… i’m just saying i like her curvy (:
even though she is apparently still healthy, she looks too skinny. I think she might have added maybe one or two more pounds, because I remember I used to be able to see her bones in her arms, but I can’t anymore, but… *sigh* Yuri, you were gorgeous before! You didn’t need to become thinner! 😦
Well, ultimately, the final choice is Yuri’s to make.
The best we can do is pray that good sense prevails and that she’ll know when to increase her calorie intake when her body requires it ;).
I’m going to mouth Kenneth’s sentiments.
I’m a little skinny and slightly unfit, and I live on irregular meals and work out inconsistently. I’m still fine, even in this frail state, but I’m going to have to do significantly more than that because of my forthcoming mandatory service with the army in just a few years.
Now if that doesn’t get the message across, Yuri’s got the support of her fellow members, her fans, her colleagues and a personal trainer who certified for the job to professionally supervise Yuri on her training regime. While some of the information in the video does worry us a little because of the health statistics, I think that the rational decisions that she makes as a responsible adult regarding her physique (like regulating her health) should be a little more than adequate to assuage a few of our anxieties. With specialized individuals monitoring her physical status and relatives who have a direct hand in “reaching out to her” keeping a constant watch on her, I don’t really find any reason to worry.
Sure, there were a few mishaps along the way which gave us who’re concerned with Yuri’s health quite a scare, but don’t we all sometimes? I can trust her to bounce right back up into shape after a few “falls”, if you get what I mean. I’m not fully endorsing Yuri’s diet and her being skinny (in the midst of traveling back and forth between countries) as acceptable because I think that there is a limit to how far one can go in sacrificing something vital to your body without dropping dead to the floor due to the lack of supplements. I’m merely stating that people shouldn’t get uneasy or worried (or insecure?) over a subject like Yuri’s diet too much.
Worse, getting worried is actually detrimental to your health. That’s trivia for ya.
My 2 cents.
I’d have to agree. Being the athletes these girls are, they are going to need more than the average persons daily calories so they have enough energy to practice and do their routines. She is looking quite toned now, kinda hot actually. Just don’t get any skinner please!
I have no problem seeing her with that kind of slim body and I still (and will always) adore her.. but I’m still not used to sexier Yuri..
I want her chubby too.
I agree with DREADTECH’s point of view. 1500 cals is not healthy for a high explosive athlete, and especially for a sleep-deprived, high-explosive, Korean idol.
Would be nice if this was just for the tour and her solo performance concept. Kinda like how actors might change their weight for certain roles.
I want the curvy Yul back too.
This is an excerpt of an entertainment news program where they apparently had a diet expert rank the diets of certain entertainers. Yuri, who according to the program has become well-known for her abs these days, came in first.
According to her trainer, because of the upcoming Paris concert and the Japan tour, Yuri trained hard to make herself fit. She set out a diet and did lots of cardio and abs exercises. Her diet is as described above.
An expert gave Yuri’s diet a score of 97. It didn’t get 100 only because of minor concern that it was short on calcium. The expert said she thinks Yuri might have had a nutritionist plan out the diet because it’s nutritionally well-rounded.
I like the curvy black pearl..
It’s more sexy and healthy look..
But I wish your choose make you more keep healthy, right!!
So…fighting 🙂
i think she is toooo skiny for me, and yes exactly what i was thinking if she was just a random person then it would be fine, but she is no only a dancer but a snsd member, meaning she is getting loads of work, if sunny collapsed i wonder how long till yuri does, she need more energy, and besides she was just fine before, what made her do this, and back in that hoot performance she was in the bones, she is better right now, but..what made her look like that out of the blue, my concerns is that she tried a not-so-healty route before and then sm made her took the healthier route, she was just fine before, please go back to your curvy self yuri, im scared you may break in the middle of the concert
Although I personally prefer the old Yuri I think there is no cause for concern. SNSD is one of SME big money earners. They will not allow them to do anything to seriously jeopardize their performance schedule. However having said that I was annoyed that this same staff allowed Sunny to perform when she was so unwell that she had to leave the stage.
Sorry to go against most of you guys, but in my opinion Yuri looks way better now, love her abs and little waist. About the health problem (if any), come on, right now all the girls are working really hard with the Japan tour, Paris SMtown tour, CFs, magazines pictures, etc. Obviously is going to have an effect, but SM knows what they are doing, and so the girls. I’m almost sure they have personal dietist and trainers who help them to achieve the look they want to have. So maybe Yuri is no longer chubby (in my opinion she never was really “chubby”), but change in style and look is part of being an artist and performer. She looks great, I like skinny Yuri a lot, and I respect and trust her to remain healthy.
Am I the only one who thinks that Yuri is slowly gaining her weight? If you guys see from the recent fancams and pictures at the airport, Yuri has definitely put a little weight around her arms and thighs (Thank God)
I’m pretty sure she’s eating well in Japan, and with the busy schedule and all, I don’t think she can hit the gym as much as she used to; her only workouts probably are in the form of practice and actual stage perfs.
So I’m not worried over her, and have complete faith in our dear Yuri (:
as long as she keeps herself in a good shape, eats and sleep well, and in acceptable BMI weight, she’s healthy!! 🙂
i have confidence in our Kwon Yuri!
Yul Fighting!! 🙂
YURI don’t fall sick D:
But I have to admit her abs are pretty sexy~
Wahh but yuri must remain healthy…
she’s still sexy to me as long as she stays healthy and maintains the amount of energy needed to do what she has to do.
yuri, as long as you don’t skip meals to keep yourself in shape! XD
SNSD, fighting! ^^
She looks fine, and not unhealthy at all. She may be thin but she also glows like a healthy well-groomed person should. On stage she never looks exhausted or faint, she looks full of stamina.
The funniest part about this whole thing is, probably 95% of westerners talking about how “unhealthy” she looks eat like complete shit, eating junk food and fast food often, if not every single day. A large chunk of you are overweight or obese as well. At least what she does eat is good whole foods full of vitamins and minerals, and not a bunch of processed crap that almost completely lacks nutritional value.
I eat junk food but at least I’m not being a hypocrite and whining about how SHE is supposedly the unhealthy one. Look in the mirror people.
I think a lot of talk about Yuri stems from the fact that she looked great BEFORE she went on this regimen and diet. Many in the fandom thought the whole thing was completely unnecessary. Although she looks healthier now, she wasn’t like that a few months ago.
Stop stereotypes, I’m eating very well : I’m gonna be a nutritionist. I’m thin and fit AND I’m worried for her. Please don’t be rude.
I’m not being rude, I’m telling the truth. The truth is often hard to take so I can see why you might feel it’s rude.
A stereotypical response to the type of comment I made would be to claim that you are some type of nutritional authority and that you eat healthy, therefore it’s ok for you to be worried about her.
In your nutritionist opinion, what exactly is so worrying about her diet? She gets protein from meat and eggs, she eats salad greens, vegetables, nuts, and rice for carbs. She works out frequently. She has not fainted on stage or been sick since she became skinnier, so clearly she is eating enough food to not only stand on her own 2 feet, but to dance and sing all day long as well.
So tell me, what exactly is so worrying?
In fact the 2 girls that HAVE been ill recently, are Sunny who is known to enjoy fast food, and Sooyoung who can eat a lot of junk without gaining weight.
Seohyun the health nut has not been sick. Yuri who has taken charge of her health has not been sick.
gahhhhh!! whatever she doe’d it’s up to her..!! she still yuri as sexy as she is.
guys let vote for our girls!!!!!

the categories are 13 and 17.. just click at the end of snsd name in each category!!!!
faster2!!!!
Most Sones wants Yuri to be curvy or chubby again so that she can be healthy. Of course everyone wants her to be healthy tho but if she is skinny but still really healthy, thats fine. But dont judge on the girls appearance on what looks sexyier or not, health is most important.
Yuri-ah… less of the good stuff and more Takoyaki!!
If she is healthy with that body, I guess everyone can accept it without any problem.
Just one thing, she really need good rest, or should I said they all need a good healthy rest.
Hope they can get that after these busy-tiring concert stuff.
sexy or not isn’t the main problem, health does and I’m sure sones think that too.
Anyway, Yuri you are still the best!
man, another show talks about Yuri’s weight…. anyway, here are my 2 cents:
1. we already know that Yuri did her diet/exercise under supervision of personal trainer who also works on other Korean artists. she is not starving herself or do something stupid to lose her weight.
2. there is no way she drops takoyaki in Japan and i won’t be surprise if they make their managers worried about their food budget, since they are eating and snacking like me after recovering from stomachache (i.e if you don’t get my drift: i always eat like a maniac after recovering from sickness, especially if my sickness prevents me from eating what i like).
3. the fact that she came out fine while some others got sick shows that she is probably just fine. and she does gradually regain her weight
4. few months ago, people are worried about Fany losing weight. in my earlier SONE day, people are worried about Jessica losing weight. Both came out OK and seems to bounce back to their original shapes.
5. even if we are worried about her now, always remember that gaining weight to fast is just as unhealthy as losing weight too fast. let her recover steadily
6. the diet description has been mentioned many times before and honestly, i don’t think it’s credible.
7. i think all snsd members are underweight, but i’m pretty sure some athletes like gymnasts would be underweight too. doesn’t mean they are unhealthy
8. concerns and worries are fine but at the end of the day let’s try to look from positive angles. be comforted that she is mature enough to look after herself and show her some support she deserved for her effort.
well, looks like i had 8 cents there. lol
yeah, i totally agree. every time i hear about an idol getting even skinnier, I worry if they’re really eating and exercising right. i just hope her health is still well and she’s also keeping an eye out for how her diet will affect her in the future.
She is still very agile & energetic.
Yuri’s s-line no.1
