• LOONA's Chuu dispels all speculations she's having an eating disorder

    LOONA's Chuu put fans' minds at ease when she said, "It's not an eating disorder at all".

    Chuu said on her Instagram story on October 6: "It's nothing like an eating disorder, anorexia, etc."

    She also said, "Of course, I didn't know how to deal with stress right away when I was busy and wasn't allowed to go out, so I ate spicy food and didn't take care of my body."

    She went on, "Now, more than anyone else, I enjoy working happily through sports, hobbies, and conversations with the people I care about, and I'm running forward."

    Chuu also took pictures of her homemade soybean paste stew, pictures, and game screens, as if she was trying to make fans feel better.

    On the other hand, Chuu will be on the October 7th episode of "Dr. Oh's Golden Clinic" on Channel A.

    In a preview video that came out on September 30th, Chuu said, "I eat so much that it's hard for me to breathe. When I'm upset, I eat like that ".

    She went on, "I went to the emergency room once because I was sick. Even though I know it's impossible, I want to buy 20 minutes of happiness ".

    When Dr. Oh Eun Young heard Chuu's story, he said, "It sounds like you're hurting yourself."

    Soon after, a preview video of this content said, "Chuu is admitting to having an eating disorder," which caused a lot of worry among fans.

    Recently, Chuu said that her agency didn't send her a schedule and that she didn't go on LOONA's world tour, which led to rumors of bullying and team transfers.

    Regarding this, the agency stated that it was "groundless".

    The MAMA AWARDS praised Jimin for his groundbreaking achievements, saying, “As the first K-pop solo artist to reach 4 billion streams and set the longest-running #1 record for a Korean artist, Jimin has proven his influence as a world-class artist and global pop star.”

    Jimin's win also made him the first solo artist to claim a grand prize at the MAMA AWARDS in 10 years, with his achievement sparking excitement worldwide.

    On X (formerly Twitter), the hashtag “CONGRATULATIONS JIMIN” topped the trends, while “우리지민이상받았네” (Our Jimin Got the Award) reached the #1 spot in Korea.

    Jimin’s ongoing success continues to shine even during his military service.
