"Increased to 94kg, severe facial edema" Star complained of suffering from drug side effects

Female celebrities who have rapidly gained weight or have severe swelling due to drug side effects are complaining of pain. More than anything, it's a pity because it's a health-related problem.

Singer and painter Solbi appeared on MBC's 'Radio Star' on the 7th and revealed the behind-the-scenes story of the swelling on her face. He said that he had recently frozen eggs, saying, "I want to have a baby, but I don't know when it will happen, so I wanted to get it like insurance."

He then explained why his face was swollen, saying, "I'm receiving hormone injections these days because of egg freezing, but I'm swelling in the aftermath." However, she expressed her heart, saying that it was not easy to prepare for pregnancy in a single situation.

Also, because of the hormone injection, his stamina decreased a lot. Solbi said, "I hate my life, where I suddenly feel obsessed with dieting because of other people's gaze, even though my body is swollen and lacking in stamina. So I wanted to be acknowledged as a whole me, and I didn't want to be ashamed of being fat. Rather than saying 'I gained weight', I would like it to be changed to 'You look comfortable'."

Singer Soyou's appearance changed due to a herniated disc in her neck. Last year, Soyou said, "I have some sad news." He added, "What I'm trying to say now is that I've gained some weight."

As Soyou said, Soyou's face looked more swollen than usual. Soyou explained the reason for her weight gain, saying, "Steroids, I heard that they gained some weight because of those drugs." Steroids have an excellent effect on relieving inflammation, but have side effects such as edema, palpitations, and increased appetite.

Girl group Twice member Jeongyeon has suspended activities four times due to health issues. Since 2020, he has suffered from psychological anxiety disorder and a herniated disc in his neck. He suffered a sudden weight loss due to steroid side effects.

Afterwards, Jeongyeon reappeared in front of the fans with a unique professionalism. At the time, he refrained from excessive dancing as if his neck disc had not fully healed, but it served as an opportunity to make him feel his love for ONCE (Twice fan club name) again. Here, recently, she appeared in front of fans with a remarkably slim figure and received cheers.

Singer Lee Eun-ha also said that her weight increased to 94 kg due to side effects of steroids. He suffered from severe back pain and confessed, "To forget the pain, I received a steroid injection once every two days and suffered from Cushing's syndrome as a side effect of the injection." Lee Eun-ha said, “As a side effect, I gained 35 kg. It went up to 94kg,” he said.

Fans and the public should give enough time for stars who suffer from health problems to recover comfortably. Blaming 'self-management' for weight gain due to health problems and no other reason is violence disguised as interest. Isn't it true support to love them themselves?
