After recently performing in Hong Kong, Jennie released new campaign photos for a collaboration with U.S. swimwear brand Frankies Bikinis, which she helped design and modeled, drawing attention for her straight shoulders, slim waist, and long legs. Fans are asking how she keeps a 45 kilograms (about 99 pounds) frame for appearances and performances.
Low sodium diet to reduce bloating
Jennie favors a light, low sodium diet. She has said on television that during promotion and performance periods she almost entirely avoids strongly flavored foods. While salt has no calories, she treats it as a dietary red flag. High sodium intake can increase appetite and lead to water retention, which affects how she looks on camera. If she finds food bland, she seasons with black pepper or vinegar instead of salt.
Still eats sweets, but timing and portions matter
Although Jennie enjoys desserts, she does not rely on restrictive diets to manage her figure. She typically starts each meal with vegetables and fruit until she is half full, then adds protein, and saves carbohydrates for last. That order helps stabilize blood sugar and reduce fat storage. She eats sweets only around midday so the body has time to metabolize them. Her preferred snack is Greek yogurt with strawberries, blueberries, and a small drizzle of honey, a low sugar, high protein option that keeps her full longer.
How she built her straight shoulders, Pilates plus dance
Jennie’s physique is the result of years of training, not natural luck. She practices dance three to four hours a day, and the high intensity work sculpts her body while improving stamina. She is also a fan of Pilates because it trains deep muscle groups, increases muscular endurance and stability, and lengthens muscle lines, which contributes to a lean, toned shape. She sometimes adds aerial yoga to enhance flexibility and overall proportion.
Quick fix for facial bloating: ice water and lymphatic massage
In a vlog before the Met Gala, Jennie shared a method she uses to reduce facial swelling. She soaks her face in a basin of ice water to constrict pores and improve circulation. Makeup artists then cool their hands in ice water before using chilled hands to massage the face along the jawline to sculpt a sharp V shaped profile. In the evenings she uses a foam roller to relax tight muscles after training and promote circulation so body lines appear more natural.
Most understated but essential secret: eight hours of sleep
Jennie makes a point of getting eight hours of sleep every night. Lack of sleep raises cortisol, which interferes with fat metabolism and impairs muscle recovery after training. To relax before bed she uses incense or a diffuser, preferring fresh citrus scents. She drinks unsweetened tea instead of sugary beverages, and she aims to consume at least 2,000 milliliters of water a day, about 68 ounces, to keep metabolism functioning optimally.
