Red Velvet Wendy Weight Loss Transformation

Unrecognisable: Red Velvet Wendy Weight Loss Transformation

Throughout the twelve years I have spent in my profession as a personal trainer, I have been asked many times about celebrity weight loss transformations.

Today I am taking a look at the weight loss transformation of Shon Seung-wan also known as Wendy from South Korean girl group Red Velvet.

Wendy was born on February 21, 1994, in a place called Seongbuk-dong, which is a part of Seongbuk District in Seoul, South Korea.

Wendy and her sister moved to the United States and then to Canada when they were 12 years old. In North America, Wendy went by the name Wendy Son and learned English, French, and Spanish alongside her native Korean.

She auditioned for the “SM Global Audition” in Canada in 2012 and was recognised for her musical talents, versatility with instruments, and strong singing skills.

Wendy started training for her singing career less than two years before she was introduced on March 14, 2014, as part of SM Entertainment’s trainee team, SM Rookies.

She recorded a song called “Because I Love You” for the soundtrack of the Mnet drama “Mimi” while she was with SM Rookies. Her labelmate Changmin was also part of the show and appeared in the music video.

On SM Entertainment’s official YouTube channel, there’s a video of Wendy singing a version of Taylor Swift’s song “Speak Now.”

Wendy is not only a singer but also does voice acting.

Red Velvet Wendy‘s Weight Loss Transformation

Despite her efforts to maintain a slim figure, Wendy from Red Velvet has faced harsh criticism about her weight having received hurtful online comments.

In an interview on the TV show “Laundry Day,” Wendy admitted she used to feel “quite fat” and described extreme measures she took to lose weight, like having a blended breakfast of cabbage and apple.

The hosts were shocked to learn this was her entire day’s diet, along with jumping rope over 10,000 times in under two hours.

Wendy expressed frustration that, despite these efforts, her body didn’t lose weight as quickly as she hoped.

However, she now believes self-confidence is the most attractive quality.

Red Velvet recently released their song “Birthday” from the album “The ReVe Festival 2022 – Birthday.”

Despite being together for eight years, they’ve maintained their beauty and talent.

During their recent performance, fans were excited to see Wendy’s toned abs.

She’s openly discussed her struggles with weight and unhealthy habits, but now she feels healthier and more confident in her figure.

The Key to Wendy’s Weight Loss

Wendy achieved her weight loss goals through two main strategies:

Intense Exercise: She pushed herself to complete a rigorous workout routine within a short time frame, jumping rope over 10,000 times.
Strict Diet: Her breakfast consisted solely of a blend of cabbage and an apple.

Wendy’s Diet Plan

Wendy’s extreme weight loss became a hot topic in town, evident in her transformed physique.

During an appearance on the TV show “Give Me a Meal,” Wendy and her fellow member Seulgi disclosed the details of her diet plan.

However, it’s important to note that Wendy’s regimen may not be suitable for everyone due to its strict nature.

Wendy shared that in extreme circumstances, she consumed a blend of black beans, milk, cabbage, and an apple for breakfast, followed by 10,000 jump ropes.

For lunch and dinner, she only drank pumpkin juice.

I must emphasise the importance of consulting with a dietitian before attempting to adopt such a restrictive diet plan, as not all diets are suitable for everyone, and moderation is key to maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

In my profession as a personal trainer over the past twelve years, most of my clients have achieved phenomenal transformations through a slight calorie deficit as opposed to any extreme diets or drastic weight loss measures.

This way, you are still able to eat foods you enjoy, but moderation is key.

Wendy’s Workout Routine

As a KPOP idol, Wendy incorporates intense workouts into her routine, such as 10,000 jump rope repetitions.

While this may be challenging for beginners, there are alternative methods to achieve similar results without such intense workouts.

For example, yoga offers numerous benefits, including weight loss, increased flexibility, stress reduction, improved circulation, and mental clarity.

Different types of yoga, such as Hatha, Ashtanga, Kundalini, and Vinyasa, cater to various preferences and goals, making it accessible to individuals of all fitness levels.

Ultimately, the choice of exercise depends on personal preferences and long-term goals, emphasising the importance of finding a balanced approach to fitness and wellness.

Red Velvet Wendy Weight Loss Transformation: Summary

Wendy from Red Velvet has been very public about her struggles with weight and unhealthy habits.

Most importantly, she now feels healthier and more confident in her figure.

The key to bear in mind that I always remind my clients of is that achieving and sustaining your preferred weight requires a continuous effort to balance the calories you intake with the calories you burn (calories in versus calories out).

The lifestyle changes Wendy has made through being so active and reducing her calorie intake have clearly helped her achieve the consistent calorie deficit required for weight loss.
