It was when he was just 15 years old that the K-pop star Hyuna began to face eating problems due to aesthetic pressure. At the time, the singer had just debuted on the music scene and she was trying to follow a restrictive diet to maintain her 40 kg weight: she ate only one piece of sushi during the day. Today, at 31, the artist says that the practice caused her serious nerve damage.

During talk show Season B, Hyuna talked about the consequences of aesthetic pressure in her life. The South Korean superstar said she survived by eating very little for years in an attempt to lose weight.

“At that time I was surviving on just one piece of kimbap [sushi coreano] during the performance of all planned activities. And she destroyed me. At 26, I wasn’t very healthy,” revealed the star, who followed the restrictive diet for almost 10 years.

For this reason, Hyuna lives with a serious consequence: peripheral neuropathy. According to the Israelite Albert Einstein Hospital, the condition occurs when there is damage to the nerves that leave the spinal cord and go to the limbs. For this reason the nerves do not transmit information correctly.

“It is they who control the sensations of pain, cold and heat and also the muscular movements, which are compromised”, explains the hospital note.

The K-pop star says she discovered the sequel after feeling sick. “Every time my weight dropped too much, this was the cause. I fainted after surviving on just one piece of kimbap. I fainted 12 times in one month,” she reported.

One of these intense fainting episodes occurred while recording the video for his album I’m not coolpublished in 2020.
