Even when I wanted to eat [different things], it would cost too much. And that became stressful for me. What I decided to do instead is order one big, spicy meal and eat it all in one sitting. Soon, that became a habit. I’ve told my friends that it’s a way of getting ‘instant stress relief.’— Chuu"

August 19, 2018: They debuted with their title track “Hi High“.• Jinsoul talks constantly about being hungry in early LOONATVs’. Kim Lip also implies that during Girl Front era, they were under a strict diet.VIA: @hyecula on twt: [KimLip] :At our hotel in LA, there was a snack bar in the lobby but they only accept cash so Jinsoul unnie asked who have cash and I actually had some cash so we agreed to go buy some snacks early in the morning.
[Jinsoul] : But we ran into our director in the elevator so..• BBC forced Jinsoul to go 5 meters underwater for the SITR MV. She ended up doing a mistake and accidentally inhaled water.VIA: @orrery_nim on twt: Jiin Ryu had blonde hair and was present at the filming of Singing in the Rain.
The last part was to film the underwater scenes.
Jinsoul got 2 hours of training, and the final step was to go 5 meters underwater, but Jinsoul made a mistake and inhaled water and panicked
• BBC is known for going extreme measures to have a certain image for their idols. They forced Jinsoul to bleach her hair blonde for 2 years.VIA: @orrery_nim on twt:
2017 JinSoul: "Blonde just once" ... "Director-nim are you watching? I want black hair~• BBC starved YYXY sub-unit during ‘love4eva’ promotions. Staff requested the 4 girls to turn in their snacks. “Chuu and Olivia (rooming together) didn't trust them so they stashed the snacks inside neck pillows, in the trash can, and so on, while Yves and Gowon did turn theirs in and "became skeletons" by the end of Hungary”VIA ORBIT REDDIT STATEMENT“The girls mapped out all the food places within walking distance of places like MonoTree and Ingrid Studios so they could make frantic snack runs, since they were so hungry during recording.”“Olivia brought home so much watermelon after school that she eventually broke her backpack strap and bruised her shoulders. Gowon wondered if the manager didn't notice th watermelon in the fridge just getting refilled all the time”“While returning from Hungary, they made a vow to eat like no tomorrow when they got home. They weighed themselves on landing, convinced themselves it was "flight weight", and went on a self-described crazy food buying spree”
- This is the photo shoot being talked about! They weren’t allowed to eat any of the food on set. Yves foraged for leftovers afterwards because she was so hungry.

Chuu Can Do It writer Instagram Story:
"Power abuse, that's really funny 🙃
Even when it was tiring for Jiwoo she was someone who worried in case the staff wouldn't get paid
Once I got frustrated and said hey Jiwoo worry about yourself first! and she'd say that having gone through this herself and knowing how hard it is, she couldn't bear seeing that Everyone knows that she didn't have proper care
Regardless Jiwoo will be fine~ Since she treats others so well haha"
