It’s not uncommon to see brides-to-be undergo extreme weight loss to look their best for their weddings. But a fan to see their idol at a concert? Not so much.

But that’s exactly what one G-Dragon superfan did when she found out around the K-pop superstar would be holding his Übermensch world tour in Asia.

The 1.67cm-tall Chinese fan, who tipped the scales at 290 jin (145kg) before her transformation, recently shared her weight loss journey on Xiaohongshu and all we can say is, we’re super impressed.

“290 jin to xx jin? How much influence does an idol have on someone's appearance?” she teased on the video thumbnail. “Because I like you, I became a better version of myself.”

In the video, the woman showed the emotional rollercoaster she went through, from the moment she heard that GD was embarking on his world tour and “making her mind to change”, to undergoing intense boxing and pilates workouts, the breakdowns, and finally, looking unrecognisable when she attended his Osaka show on May 26.

In a video posted end May, the fan revealed that she lost a whopping 190 jin (95kg). Now, G-Dragon's concert dates were announced only in mid-March, so did she lose all that weight in just two months? 

And she’s managed to shed even more weight since. According to her bio, she now weighs 89 jin (44.5kg).

Wow. 

Netizens were blown away by her determination and transformation, with many envious of her results.

“Why did I gain weight out of happiness when he made his comeback?” commented one user, while another said: “Me too. My appetite improved.”

Some also shared their own weight loss success: “I also lost 26 jin (13kg)for him — and I'm heading to Macau soon!”
