Ayumi regains confidence through body-type styling after postpartum physical changes

Former idol Ayumi has shared her journey of overcoming postpartum insecurities by using body-type styling to highlight her waistline. To maintain her health and muscle mass, she now avoids extreme dieting in favor of protein, probiotics, and regular meals.

Ayumi, who was once beloved as an idol, has shared her experiences regarding the physical changes she faced after childbirth, her efforts to overcome them, and her recent daily life. In a video released by TV CHOSUN STAR, Ayumi showed the process of understanding her body type and changing her style while enjoying some "free wife" time away from childcare.

"I only wore 'mom clothes'"... Finding a new style through body diagnosis

Ayumi recently spent time finding clothing that fits her body through body-type styling. Confessing that she developed insecurities due to physical changes after childbirth, she revealed that she had mainly worn neat and conservative "mom style" clothing to hide her figure. In particular, she expressed her concerns about how to use styling to compensate for her changed pelvic line and lower body volume following childbirth.

According to expert body measurements, Ayumi was identified as having a body type with more volume in her lower body compared to her upper body. During the styling process, rather than unconditionally hiding her lower body line, she was suggested styles that emphasize the waistline or disperse visual attention. Upon trying on bright-colored clothing and styles that highlighted her waistline, Ayumi expressed high satisfaction, stating, "It feels like before I got married." She noted that it was meaningful to learn that she could cover her body type with various styles.

Regaining vitality by challenging idol choreography... "Back to being an idol"

Having gained confidence through styling, Ayumi showed a vibrant side by challenging idol choreography that she usually watches and enjoys. She attempted to reclaim the energy of her past idol days by learning the choreography for the group TWS's song "OVERDRIVE."

During the process of learning the dance, Ayumi participated actively despite facing difficulties in mastering the movements. She expressed admiration for the skills of the current generation of idols, saying, "Idols are truly amazing." Although the movements were not easy, she shared her feelings of being "so happy" as she enjoyed the process of moving her body to the music.

"Extreme dieting is forbidden"... Secrets to health management are 'protein and probiotics'

Having experienced the side effects of dieting in the past, Ayumi cited regular meals, exercise, and the help of specific supplements as the secrets to her current health maintenance. She revealed that she previously attempted excessive starvation diets, which led to physical side effects such as the yo-yo effect and constipation.

She explained that she currently takes protein to maintain muscle mass. Feeling as though she lost muscle after childbirth, she pays close attention to protein intake to maintain a firm body while exercising. Additionally, she added that she consistently consumes probiotics for gut health to help manage her lower abdomen and promote smooth intestinal movement. She emphasized the importance of healthy eating habits, stating, "It is important to lose weight while eating well."

After finishing her schedule, Ayumi concluded her day by enjoying a meal of bibimbap, a Korean dish, appearing relieved to eat a meal that allows her to maintain her health management.
