Top model Choi So-ra recalled the time when she went on an extreme diet and surprised people by saying, “If I go back, I will diet even harder.”
Choi So-ra, who recently appeared on the YouTube channel ‘Kim Na-young’s No Filter TV’, was asked, “Why have you not relaxed as a top model for a long time?” and answered, “I want to be perfect. Stage direction, music, lighting, clothes, hair and makeup, “I really want to understand everything and show the mood the designer wanted, and I really hate leaving behind things I will regret,” he said, revealing his tendency to be a perfectionist.
Choi So-ra said, “I have become a lot more human now,” and “Before, I was a bit more like an AI. When I work, I exclude all emotions. If I put emotions in, it’s hard for me. At the time, I was a workaholic. There was no human Choi in my life and I was just a model.” “I thought it was just the minimum. I was very conscious of (controlling) every little thing, like sleeping, eating, and posture, and even when I slept, I slept sitting up because I was afraid of swelling.”
When Kim Na-young said, “I heard that you had a very hard time managing what you eat during the four weeks leading up to Fashion Week,” Choi So-ra recalled a time when she only drank water for five weeks. Choi So-ra, who is 179 cm tall, talked about her experience on a broadcast in the past, saying, “I was canceled the day before the show because I looked swollen,” and said, “I used to be 52 kg, but I lost it to 45-46 kg by drinking only water for 5 weeks.”
He joked, “Back then, when I only drank water and dieted, it was really AI. Now, if I were to do it again as a human, I would never be able to do it.”
Choi So-ra said, “It was so hard,” and “I pushed myself into a corner, but it was strange because everyone applauded and said I was so pretty. At that time, I felt empty and a bit devastated. After the last show of Fashion Week, I walked to the hotel crying. “I remembered that it was more difficult than that I did well, but I kept it strong for a year and thought that was the only thing I could do in life.”
However, Choi So-ra said she has no regrets. He said, “If someone asks, ‘Do you want to go back to that time?’, I will go back and do it even worse than before. To the point where I was satisfied. Even then, I was not satisfied. I guess my personality is strange. I am not satisfied. I am not satisfied with myself. “I don’t praise people often,” he added.
Choi So-ra was born in 1992 and became known by winning ‘Challenge Supermodel Korea 3’ in 2012. Since then, starting with the Louis Vuitton Cruise runway in 2014, she has established herself as a global fashion icon by working as a model for famous overseas brands such as Chanel, Dior, Prada, Gucci, and Dolce & Gabbana.
