A red flag has been raised regarding the health of stars in their 20s. People complain of physical and mental health problems here and there.

Recently, Kwon Jin-ah announced her condition, saying, "I look very strong, but I have a rather weak constitution, so I've been touring with a variety of diseases, including catching viruses and going to the emergency room due to abdominal pain."

At the same time, he said, "I think you did it! How long have you been doing this to get Dingban to appear? I'm on my way to record the first vocals for the album today. Please wish me luck."

Previously, Kwon Jin-ah mentioned her health status in 2021 as well. He said, "I suffered from anorexia and bulimia eating disorders for four years due to extreme dieting at the age of 18," and added, "I sincerely hope that many people will escape that pain and live healthy lives with various body types."

Group TNX's Junhyuk Chun will also suspend activities for the time being due to health issues. His agency, P Nation, recently announced, "Junhyuk Chun has recently been showing signs of anxiety due to low physical strength, so he underwent tests at a specialized medical institution. The specialist diagnosed that he needs sufficient rest and stability."

Accordingly, Junhyuk Cheon will suspend all activities for the time being. The agency promised, "Junhyuk Chun plans to focus on rest and treatment," and added, "We will do our best to help Junhyuk Chun recover quickly and return in good health as soon as possible."

Previously, in October last year, Chuu, a former member of 'Loona', appeared on Channel A's 'Oh Eun-young's Gold Counseling Center' and confessed that she ate and vomited when she was stressed, causing concern among fans. At the time, Chuu said, "When I'm stressed, I eat so loudly that I can't breathe. I eat like that and throw up. I once went to the emergency room because my body stiffened. I know it's not possible, but I do it to buy 20 minutes of happiness (I do that). “He confessed.

The reason he does this is, "I think it's because I don't want people to know that I'm having a hard time. I don't know how to be grateful..." he said cautiously. Dr. Oh Eun-young, who was listening to this, pointed out the seriousness of the current situation, saying, “There is a fear that if you let go of the mask, it will collapse.”

Because most idols perform intense choreography, they are exposed to environments where they can easily get injured. In particular, in the case of groups that perform at high intensity, most of the members suffer from habitual dislocations and chronic pain in the knees, waist, and ankles. These days, the number of members taking a break from activities not only due to injuries but also due to mental problems has increased. They complain of anxiety disorders and panic disorders due to the pressure to meet expectations, fear of the stage, and reckless malicious comments.

It is important to proceed with activities without disruption, but what is more important is the health of the stars. Fans' concerns are growing as they frequently hear about incidents and accidents involving stars behind the scenes. In order for them to be healthy, the care of their agency is important. For the well-being of both yourself and your fans, you must pay close attention to your physical and mental health.
