Soyou is turning heads with her dramatic weight loss—she’s dropped 10kg since January.
On the July 19 episode of SBS PowerFM’s 2 O’Clock Escape Cultwo Show, Soyou revealed how her diet took off this year.
“I started dieting with a plan in January, and things really picked up from June. The weight just kept coming off.”

Her secret? The “Cucumber Boat,” a high-protein, low-calorie dish she swears by.
The recipe is simple: scoop out a cucumber and fill it with shredded chicken breast mixed with a healthy sauce. Soyou shared the full recipe on her YouTube channel Soyougi.
The sauce combines peanut sauce, dark soy sauce, olive oil, lemon juice, Chinese vinegar, and perilla powder—a fiber-rich superfood known for helping with satiety and fat burning thanks to omega-3s.
Cucumbers add bulk with just 12–13 kcal per 100g. Chicken breast packs 23g protein per 100g, helping muscle maintenance during weight loss.
“This fills you up even if you eat just a little. If you eat this, you’ll definitely lose weight.”
—Soyou
Fans are shocked by her slimmed-down look and are eyeing the Cucumber Boat as the next viral K-celebrity diet trend.
