To this, Yoo Jae-suk stated that even though the actor eats a lot, he doesn't seem to gain weight. Park Bo-gum responded that he also works out really hard and likes running. The host then directed another question to IU, asking if she didn't enjoy eating that much. The singer-actress replied to the question by saying:
"I used to really love food, but at some point, my appetite just naturally decreased."
Yoo Jae-suk further recalled that IU used to love snacking and had chubby cheeks when she was younger. To this, she added,
“That’s right. Especially, I really loved sweets. Since I tend to gain weight in my face first, I’ve always been on a diet since my debut because of my face fat. But at some point, I just didn’t crave food as much as before. My appetite itself decreased, and I think my stomach also shrank.”
IU then added that she enjoys sleeping more than eating.
"I keep waking up, but if I make up my mind to stay in bed, I can keep lying down. But I can’t sleep deeply for long periods,” she said.
