Feed Your Hustle-Seonghwa & Jongho-Style! Top-tier K-pop isn't just about perfect dance moves; it's about what's on your plate! ATEEZ stars Seonghwa and Jongho share their winning formula: eating mindfully and enjoying lots of Sundubu Jjigae , the beloved Korean spicy soft tofu stew. Seonghwa opened up about his past battle with binge eating. No fad diets here: just steady, sustainable habits anyone can follow. The secret weapon? Doobu-the Korean word for tofu. Doobu packs high-quality protein, keeping them energized through long rehearsals and recordings. It's affordable, nutritious, and adaptable-perfect for busy lives, idol or otherwise. Sundubu Jjigae, Water & Good Vibes: Food That Fuels Their diet isn't about restrictions-it's about good choices for busy schedules. Rule one: drink lots of water. Hydration fuels stamina for energetic performances and hectic days. Rule two: prioritize protein-rich foods, especially Sundubu Jjigae. This spicy, comforting stew combines silky soft tofu with a flavorful broth that invigorates both body and mind. In Korea, Sundubu Jjigae typically costs around 12,000 KRW (about ₹740). And here's the best part-this dish isn't limited to Korea anymore! Major cities worldwide, including New Delhi, Mumbai, and Bangalore, now have Korean restaurants or Asian markets offering authentic Sundubu Jjigae or its ingredients, letting fans enjoy this Korean classic at home. Seonghwa and Jongho avoid extremes: no skipped meals or late-night junk binges. Seonghwa tends to avoid very spicy food but enjoys Jalapeno Chip, Strawberry, Sundubu Jjigae, Galbi (grilled ribs), Steak, and Ramyeon. Jongho's menu ranges from Pizza to Ramyeon, but he controls portion sizes to maintain his energy. Starplate Adventures & Simple Wellness Lessons Their story is not just dieting-it's about building lasting habits. They prepared full Doobu meals for Hongjoong, showing how food brings the group closer. Seonghwa's motto: "Reduce portions but never skip meals." The team enjoys treats like fried chicken occasionally, but balance is key. Busy idols' food challenges and wins are relatable. The takeaway? No need for fancy diets or huge budgets-just a pack of doobu, plenty of water, and mindfulness. Why Sundubu Jjigae Matters Sundubu Jjigae is more than a meal. As global interest in Korean cuisine grows, this spicy soft tofu stew offers nourishment, affordability, and accessibility-even beyond Korea's borders. It fuels energy and invites culinary adventure. Seonghwa and Jongho's approach teaches us balance: savor tasty meals at your own pace, care for your health, and share good food with loved ones. Whether you're an aspiring idol or just someone juggling daily life, this is one delicious habit worth trying.
