She revealed that she experienced a yo-yo effect after successfully losing 13kg.

[TV Daily Reporter Kim Jin-seok] Singer and broadcaster Lee Young-ji openly shared her weight status with fans. On the 25th, she engaged with fans through a Q&A session on her social media, discussing her ‘frozen’ profile. Lee stated, "It's all on Namu Wiki. It's been unchanged for 2 years," and revealed that "my weight hasn't gone up or down." She metaphorically conveyed the lack of change, likening it to a dice game, where some days she rolls low, and other days high. She further remarked, "You don’t have to ask how I lost weight, as I haven't changed even 1g." Previously, Lee shared her successful 13kg weight loss but admitted to experiencing a yo-yo effect, and mentioned in January that she had regained about 11kg. Currently, she maintains a consistent weight of 63kg at a height of 175cm while actively participating in various entertainment programs.
Lee Young-ji's candid confession about her weight resonates with many audience members. In today's society, stress related to weight issues is common, but she mixes humor into her narrative, allowing people to accept it naturally and conveying a positive message. Her honest approach encourages fans to recognize and face the small discomforts in life.
Additionally, Lee's experience of losing 13kg illustrates the complexity involved with perceptions of weight changes. Rather than focusing on just the post-weight loss appearance, she reveals the hidden challenges of yo-yo effects and the psychological burdens that accompany them. This effectively highlights how maintaining weight can be as challenging as the initial effort to lose it.
Lastly, Lee's continuous engagement with fans and her willingness to share her stories honestly forge a deeper bond with her audience. Her activities transcend just being an entertainer and showcase an approach that goes beyond the textual boundaries, connecting with people on multiple levels.
