HoYeon Jung said she lost eight kilograms in ten days while promoting the hit Netflix series "Squid Game" in the United States.

"I didn't have time to eat," the 27-year-old South Korean actress told Star News in a recent interview regarding her busy schedule while visiting America.


"I've lost a lot of weight," she admitted. "All the clothes that fit me when I first came to America are now much looser."

The interview comes after the reactions of fans on social networks labeling that he has lost a lot of weight.

"I don't mean to be negative at all, I just want to say that seeing you in a black dress bothers me a little," one fan commented, adding, "I know what it's like for models to have a certain weight, but you please make sure you are eating well."

"You're getting weaker and weaker," added another. "I hope you're happy and doing well with your overall health."

Despite the disturbing comments, many fans praised the actress, who played Kang Sae-byeok in the show.

“I lost six kilos in a week when it became successful. I couldn't eat - it wasn't stress, I just didn't know this feeling. 'What's going on there, who am I?' I kind of lost myself,” Jung added. /Telegraph/
