May 31, 2019
Kang Jiyoung, formerly of disbanded K-pop girl group KARA, surprised everyone with her "weight gain" for her upcoming role in a Japanese film.
Recently, Kang Jiyoung has been confirmed to play as the lead of upcoming Japanese movie 'Dosukoi! Sukehira'. In order to portray her character well, Kang Jiyoung took a new challenge in her acting career by putting on a costume to transform into an overweight high school girl. Kang Jiyoung was fitted into a special costume that made her look as if she now weighed 100kg (220lbs), and her normal self looks totally unrecognizable.
'Dosukoi! Sukehira' tells a story of an overweight woman who loses a drastic amount of weight all of a sudden. The film is set to premiere in Japan this November.
