Her latest single, Balloon in Love, has been a hit with fans. With her comeback and the popularity of her latest single, there has been widespread admiration for her striking physique, especially her slender legs.
Wondering how “Korea’s No. 1 Leg Girl” maintains such amazing legs? Here are four easy tips she follows.
P.S. One of them involves stretching with a towel!
Stretch Your Legs with a Towel Before Sleep

Sunmi has always made exercise a priority, but in addition to her regular routine, she includes a nightly leg-stretching trick using a towel.
It’s a straightforward technique, and here’s how you can do it:
- Lie flat on your bed
- Lift one leg up to a 90-degree angle with your body
- Place a towel around the foot and pull the ends down with both hands
You should experience a stretching sensation and slight discomfort at the back of your leg. Maintain this position for 10 minutes before switching to the other leg.
Try Wearing Compression Socks to Bed

Prolonged periods of standing or sitting may cause swelling in the legs. Sunmi combats this by wearing calf compression socks before going to bed. These socks apply pressure on the calf muscles, helping to decrease swelling.
This trick is particularly helpful for those who spend extended periods standing or sitting. Lee Mi-joo, another K-pop singer is said to use this exact method to maintain her beautiful legs!
Massage Your Legs Before Bed

If you don’t already have a habit of massaging your legs, consider adopting Sunmi’s routine.
Every night, after a good shower, she massages her legs with body lotion. This not only improves the appearance of her legs, making them appear more toned and firm, but also enhances overall leg health and increases blood circulation.
While many of us apply lotion routinely, we often neglect to give our legs a proper massage. So, the next time you moisturise, take a few additional minutes to massage your legs too!
Incorporate Strength Training To Your Routine

Dancing is a dual-purpose exercise for Sunmi, aiding in her weight loss through aerobic activity and helping her maintain a slim figure.
In addition to dancing, she includes strength training in her regimen to build muscle mass, improving her overall health while also sculpting and defining her legs.
