Sunmi, the talented singer known for her solo career, has shared a surprising confession about her body and her lifestyle during a recent appearance on a popular YouTube show.

On December 18th, Sunmi joined TWICE's Tzuyu on the show My Favorite Camping, which aired on the YouTube channel Studio 특. Tzuyu couldn't hide her excitement about meeting her favorite older sister, and the two stars shared a heartwarming moment on screen.

When Tzuyu was asked about her favorite older sister, she admitted that while she had always admired Jeongyeon, it was actually Sunmi who was her bigger role model.

"The group I learned about before coming to Korea was Wonder Girls. I was 13 years old", Tzuyu said, revealing that she was a fan of Sunmi’s former group. Sunmi was touched by this, thanking Tzuyu for her kind words.

"When I debuted as a solo artist, Tzuyu said I was her role model, and that article got a lot of attention. I thought, ‘The Once (TWICE's fan club) will recognize me, maybe I can aim for a global career'", Sunmi shared, expressing her gratitude.

The conversation soon turned to their personal lives, where Sunmi revealed that she’s more of a homebody than people might think.

"I don’t go outside because I don’t have any plans. I think I’ve only had three plans this year, and one of them was with Tzuyu", Sunmi said, adding that the other plans were with Sohee and PD Park Jin Young. She laughed, "Thank you for taking me outside."

Sunmi also opened up about her love for food, but admitted that she has been struggling to manage her weight. "I really like food too. But now I have to manage it," she said.

"I used to think I had a fast metabolism, but I’ve gained weight." Sunmi confessed that when she gains weight, it tends to show in her upper body, and since her job requires her to be in front of the camera, it can be a concern. "If I gain weight in my face, it doesn’t look good on camera", she explained.

In a previous appearance on a variety show, Sunmi revealed that she gained 9 kg (about 20 lbs) during her "Main Character" promotions after experiencing a lot of stress. At one point, she even reached a weight of 50 kg (about 110 lbs), which she said made her feel like she was "going to die from stress."

Despite the challenges, Sunmi remains determined to manage her health while continuing her successful career.

Her honesty about body image and stress is sure to resonate with many fans, showing that even celebrities face struggles just like anyone else.

SM's rookie group NCT Wish stirred up controversy during a recent live radio broadcast due to their seemingly uninterested attitude.

On April 22, SBS PowerFM's "Escape from the Two O'Clock Cultwo Show" featured Chuu, who recently made her comeback, alongside NCT Wish members.

Chuu’s bright and energetic reactions kept the atmosphere lively, but the NCT Wish members’ contrasting behavior quickly caught attention.

Throughout the broadcast, many of the members kept their eyes on the floor, gave short answers, or spoke in a vague manner, showing little enthusiasm.

During a challenge on the show, only a few members seemed engaged, while the rest appeared almost completely unresponsive. This passive behavior didn’t go unnoticed by listeners.

Fans expressed disappointment, with some commenting, “Other small rookie groups can’t even get on this show, so it makes you think a lot,” “They don’t show any eagerness. I wish I could live this comfortably too,” and “Chuu, a senior, is working hard to react, but they should respond back.”

Others speculated that the group's sudden rise to fame may have made them lack sincerity, saying, “Maybe the popularity came too easily, and they lack sincerity. It seems like they didn’t start from the bottom, debuting with the name ‘NCT’ under a big company, which might be their mistake.”

In the middle of the broadcast, SHINee’s Key made a notable comment, saying, “I’m watching, so do well,” adding a bit of pressure on the young group.

However, some fans defended the group, pointing out that NCT Wish, which is still in its second year and includes foreign members, might just be lacking experience in broadcasting. They suggested that the members are still adjusting and that they will likely improve with time.

Fans are now eagerly waiting to see how NCT Wish grows and changes in the future!
