A recent revelation from a beloved K-Pop idol about a fellow member’s incredibly unique “small eater” habits has sent waves of laughter across the internet. Fans are once again charmed by the candid stories shared within the industry.
The delightful episode unfolded on July 28th, when the YouTube channel Saego-F5 dropped a video titled “Caretaker Talk Cooler Than a Waterpark.” The clip brought together a special trio of K-Pop’s youngest members: TVXQ’s Changmin, 2NE1’s Minzy, and Apink’s Hayoung. Their shared ‘maknae’ status created an instant bond, leading to a session of cheerful banter and heartwarming stories.
Minzy’s Heartfelt Cooking for 2NE1
During their lively chat, Minzy reminisced about her days during 2NE1’s active promotions, when she often took on the role of preparing early morning meals for her members. She explained, “Sandara Park unnie lived in the Philippines, so she missed Korean food,” a touching reason that naturally led her to start cooking for the group.
Minzy further shared her dedication, saying, “I really wanted to make it for her, so before morning schedules, I would trim the soybean sprout roots.” She added, with a warm smile, “It was actually fun. Cooking feels like a creative moment,” clearly showing her deep affection for her fellow 2NE1 members.
The Unbelievable Truth About Dara’s Tiny Portions
It was during this conversation that Minzy personally confirmed Sandara Park’s legendary reputation as one of the entertainment industry’s most notable “small eaters,” much to the surprise and amusement of everyone present. Changmin, curious, probed further, “You must have cooked a lot for Dara unnie. She’s famous for being a small eater, right? How small are we talking?”

Minzy didn’t hesitate with her answer. “She eats just two or three bites and then stops,” she revealed, prompting gasps. “When I cooked for her, I deliberately made the portions small.” The story that truly had everyone bursting into laughter came next: “Once, I gave her chive kimchi in a tiny container, and she said she ate it over the course of three months.”
A Gourmet, Not Just a “Small Eater”
When Hayoung asked, genuinely intrigued, “Does she have an appetite?” Minzy clarified, “She does have an appetite, but she wants to eat delicious food. She’s like a gourmet.” Essentially, Sandara might eat tiny amounts, but she’s discerning, always opting for the tastiest dishes to enjoy.
Hearing this, Changmin, with his signature wit, jokingly declared, “That’s not appetite, that’s survival instinct,” plunging the atmosphere into a sea of uncontrollable laughter. This anecdote adds another layer to Sandara Park’s well-known eating habits, which previously garnered significant attention when she disclosed her weight to be between “37 to 38 kg” on the YouTube channel ZIP DAESUNG.
