Nozomi Shiraishi did not pass the first time she auditioned for K-1 GIRLS. When she returned for the 2026 unit, she says she came with a different routine and a clearer sense of what she wanted from the opportunity.
“After I did not pass the first time, I began to take a proper look at myself,” Shiraishi told Smart FLASH. She says she lost 8 kg over about a year, made regular gym visits and stopped drinking after deciding she felt better without it. The change, she said, gave her confidence as well as a new chance at the audition.
