Dasom revealed it's not easy being an idol by opening up about her struggles with dieting in the past.

On the June 24th broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Hello', a guest shared his grievances concerning his girlfriend who is greedy with food and feels the need to eat something every 30 minutes, but doesn't gain weight because of her small appetite. Her boyfriend then ends up having to eat all of the leftovers that she leaves, causing him to be the one gaining weight and leaving him with a large food bill.

Regarding why she orders so much food, but eats so little of it, the girlfriend remarked that she had actually been much heavier before, and had to cut out a lot of the food she ate to lose weight. It was this mindset that seemed to have had an effect on how much she's able to eat now. 

Dasom was totally able to relate to the guest and shared, "I went through the same thing. When I used to weigh 55 kg (~121 lbs.), I really wanted to lose weight. In order to lose weight but still eat the things I wanted, I would put a piece of fried chicken that I wanted to eat in my mouth and after tasting it, I'd spit it out." 

Hyorin also recalled Dasom's lists of food during those days, revealing, "[Dasom] would even write down the menu of food that she wanted to eat [but couldn't]."
