Yooju, formerly of the group GFriend, opens up about her struggles.

In the episode of KBS Joy's "Ask Me Anything" airing at 8 p.m. on the 11th, Yooju, the former main vocalist of GFriend who is now active as a solo artist, appears on the show to share her concerns.

On this day, Yooju confessed, "As soon as I start preparing an album, I become too sensitive and lose my appetite. I worry if this is okay." She admitted she had a casual thought that "I'll look better on screen if I lose weight," but her symptoms gradually worsened and began affecting her daily life.

She further revealed that she once collapsed while alone at home, and her condition deteriorated to the point where she could not eat properly, eventually leading to an endoscopy. Although the examination found no abnormalities in her stomach or digestive system, the hospital suggested that the cause might be psychological and recommended she see a psychiatrist, leaving viewers feeling sorry for her.

Yooju shared her honest feelings, saying, "I enjoy doing what I love, but seeing my body develop problems made me think, 'Am I under too much stress?'"

Upon hearing her story, Lee Su-geun empathized, stating, "Unlike group activities with members, the burden of having to fill the stage alone must have been great. With so many things to worry about, it seems your appetite disappeared as well."

Seo Jang-hoon also shared his own experiences from his days as an athlete, offering practical advice. He said, "Because of stress, I once went on the court without eating and couldn't run properly due to lack of energy. As a professional, you must maintain good condition in any situation." He further emphasized, "The voice you produce when you eat well and are in good condition is inevitably different from when you are not," seriously discussing the importance of health management.

Additionally, Yooju revealed an anecdote about visiting a hospital after noticing unusual symptoms in her ears during a recording session. She disclosed that a doctor once told her, "You need to eat before taking medicine," which surprised everyone. In response, Lee Su-geun joked, "You're an amateur. You can't be a professional. How can you comfort the public with such an attitude?" while delivering sincere advice amidst laughter.

Finally, Seo Jang-hoon urged, "You must think about what it truly means to do your best. A song sung before you feel dizzy or faint will not convey its energy."

Meanwhile, the 364th episode of "Ask Me Anything" will air at 8 p.m. on the 11th and can be viewed again on major online channels such as YouTube and Facebook after the broadcast.
