Son Na-eun says she's never eaten a whole bowl of instant noodles since debut

South Korean actress Son Na-eun, formerly of the K-pop group Apink, has revealed a surprising detail about her dietary habits: she has never finished an entire bowl of instant ramen by herself since her debut.

“

Since my debut, I have never eaten a whole bowl of ramen by myself or finished a whole cup of ramen.

Son, who maintains a slender physique of 46kg (approximately 101 lbs) according to her portal profile, shared this during an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Yoo-jeong's YouTube.' She explained that her strict self-discipline extended to her eating habits, often preventing her from consuming a full meal of instant noodles, even when she desired them.

“

I had the thought that I shouldn't eat them, so when I really wanted to eat them, I would only get about one bite from someone else's ramen.

"I had the thought that I shouldn't eat them, so when I really wanted to eat them, I would only get about one bite from someone else's ramen," Son explained. She attributed this rigorous self-control to her mindset from a young age, stating, "I was very strict with myself from a young age."

However, Son did share one notable exception. While filming the SBS drama 'The Director Who Buys Me' during a cold winter, she experienced extreme fatigue from action sequences. On that particular day, she broke her long-standing rule and finished an entire large cup of instant noodles with the staff, marking the first time she had done so.
