Piggy Dolls makes a comeback on Inkigayo

The Piggy Dolls are back on today’s episode of Inkigayo for their comeback promotions.

In a sharp contrast to their debut, the girls are making their comeback with a slimmer image, which was the result of continuous late night practice sessions ahead of their comeback.

The girls had debuted with the hopes of giving other overweight people the confidence to stand out, so this weight loss has actually put the company in quite the predicament. Their group name Piggy Dolls also doesn’t quite match up to their current image now.

Their comeback track “Know Her” has a reggae beat and a SynBrass sound that match the cute and witty lyrics. Without further ado, check out their comeback stage below!

Piggy Dolls drop 20 kg each for their comeback

Piggy Dolls, the girl group trio that debuted in January with their first EP, “Piggy Style“, have announced that they’ll be making a comeback later this month!

At the time of their debut, the girls earned more headlines for their weight instead of their outstanding vocal talents. Together, they had weighed a total of 230 kg, with 20-year-old unnis Kim Min Sun and Lee Jiyeon weighing in at 90 kg and 70 kg respectively, and 17-year-old maknae Park Ji Eun at 70 kg.


After shedding tears over their body image and the inability to perform to their heart’s content because of their weight, the girls will be making a comeback with a slimmer image; reportedly, they lost 20 kg each. Late night practice sessions have been revealed to be the cause of the dramatic weight loss.

The girls debuted with the hopes of giving other overweight people the confidence to stand out, so this weight loss has actually put the company in quite the predicament.

A representative said, “They lost weight naturally in the past few months while preparing for their comeback. We’re careful and worried in case people suspect the girls of purposely dieting.”

Stay tuned for more updates, as they’ll be making their comeback with a new image on July 21st!

Piggy Dolls reveal that they’re being pressured to lose weight

On April 9th, Piggy Dolls guested on SBS’s “Star King” and shed tears over the pressure to lose weight.

Kim Min Sun (21), who weighs 90kg, began, “My mother runs a small restaurant, and my father runs a Chinese take-out. I was born with the love of eating, which is how I got my current ‘U-line.’“ She went on to reveal that the group’s combined weight totaled to 232kg, with Lee Ji Yeon (21) weighing at 72kg, and maknae Park Ji Eun (18) at 70kg.

Park Ji Eun continued, “When we first auditioned, there were three conditions. First, we had to be talented vocally. We also could not have had any plastic surgery done, and we had to weigh over 70kg.”

Unfortunately, due to the flop of their debut album, the conditions have changed drastically, as she went on to reveal, “Before, we’d say that we just ate and our CEO would still order us something to eat, but after our first album flopped, he said that the fat concept won’t work anymore. He’s trying to change our image now by making us lose weight, but we don’t want to.”

When asked by MC Kang Ho Dong whether they had any intentions of reaching a compromise with their agency, Kim Min Sun replied, “We, of course, thought about it. But let’s say that we lose weight and get plastic surgery. That doesn’t mean we can become SNSD. Kang Ho Dong is overweight, but also became the best MC. Why can’t overweight people achieve their dreams?”

She continued, “The pain of being told to leave the room at auditions even before I opened my mouth to sing is still left in my heart. I want people that are overweight to not be so self-conscious and to be able to leave their house without shame. We want to become hope to them.”
