TWICE Momo’s Diet Was So Serious, She Was Worried About Dying Of Starvation While Sleeping

She was so afraid that she cried herself to sleep.

TWICE‘s Momo is pretty ideal as far as people go. She’s relatable AF, funny, has incredible visuals, and cares deeply about her fans.

Despite having a history as a dancer, even appearing in the music video for LEXY‘s song “Ma People” at just 11 years old, Momo revealed her extreme dieting experience from back when she was a trainee.
