[MyDaily = Reporter Park Rosa] Actress Lee Yu-bi revealed that she was pressured to lose weight while on set.

On the 11th, Lee posted a video to her YouTube channel titled Taking a Moment from Daily Life, in Bali. All-Inclusive Resort Vlog.

While relaxing in Bali, Lee answered fans' questions. When one fan asked how she manages bloating, she admitted, \"Don't you check every day whether you're puffy or not? That became a habit in my twenties. My face would get so swollen that it caused me a lot of stress.\"

She went on, \"People used to tell me, 'You should lose some weight,' or 'You look too round.' Back then I weighed 42–43 kg (about 92–95 lbs). There was a scene where my costume slipped, and someone looked at my arm and told me to lose weight—they later apologized and told me not to lose weight.\" She said the swelling really troubled her.

After she started exercising, the puffiness began to lessen. \"It wasn't fat — it was a circulation issue,\" Lee explained. \"I learned that swelling gets worse when your overall condition drops. If you stay healthy, you can maintain your looks,\" she emphasized.

She warned, \"If you wreck your body trying to lose weight, it's really hard to undo. These days everyone chases being skin-and-bones. My old figure might fit current trends, but I didn't like it. My slightly chubbier self looks much healthier and prettier now. Letting go has made me happier. So don't obsess over dieting.\"
