Yooju, a singer formerly of the girl group GFRIEND, revealed the severe health problems she faced while pursuing her solo career.
In an episode of KBS Joy's variety show 'Ask Me Anything' aired on the 11th, Yooju appeared and opened up about the concerns she has encountered since starting her solo activities.

Yooju stated, "As soon as I start working on an album, my appetite drops to zero," and added, "My weight, which was 52 kg during my GFRIEND activities, dropped to 46 kg," surprising everyone. In particular, Yooju recalled the dizzying situation, saying, "There were times when I collapsed alone and woke up."
She further shared, "According to the endoscopy results, my stomach and digestive system were normal, but I was advised to seek medical treatment with a diagnosis that it could be a psychiatric issue."

She also hinted that the habit of maintaining an empty stomach to keep her throat in top condition may have contributed to her health deterioration.
She confessed, "When recording, I pour everything into it, which causes me to lose more weight," and added, "Once, during a recording session, I couldn't hear out of one ear. After an examination, it turned out to be a symptom caused by the fat in my eardrum disappearing," evoking sympathy.
In response, Lee Su-geun sharply advised, "You are not a professional; you are an amateur," and emphasized that "you must sing in good condition to truly comfort your fans," stressing that health management comes first above all else.
