Singer and actress Son Dam-bi recently clashed with online commenters after sharing her post-childbirth fitness routine. In a post on her account, she shared photos and a video titled "3 habits that helped me regain my body after childbirth," describing steady movement, a 16-hour fasting routine, and moderate enjoyment of food as keys to her weight loss.

The same post promoted several group-buy (gongu) products at once. One commenter asked whether she had become an influencer, and Son Dam-bi replied that she had never changed careers and seemed displeased by the remark. Another commenter said her recent group-buy activity made her seem more like an influencer than an entertainer, according to the report.

When a commenter suggested her body looked less healthy, Son Dam-bi said she had lost weight through consistent exercise and diet and asked people not to judge others' efforts so quickly. The commenter apologized, saying they had been careless because they liked her healthy look. Son Dam-bi replied that after losing a lot of weight following childbirth, muscle is harder to build, and that she would keep working at it.

Who is Son Dam-bi?

Son Dam-bi is a Korean singer and actress. She married former national speed skater Lee Kyu-hyuk in 2022, and according to the report, gave birth to a daughter, Hae-i, in April of the previous year.
