A/N: I don't mean to pretend I am a specialist but I was worried too for her. Some people are naturally skinny so these numbers could be totally normal for them but I don't think that's the case for Somi. Remember this is only my opinion. And I was annoyed to see that her latest comeback was making more headlines focusing on her weight loss than her music. Also I'm not sure how a healthy diet can result to having IV fluids. We all know how controlling kpop industry is - especially to female idols for having a perfect unreal appearance - and Somi is just so young. I just hope nobody pressured her to do this and she is forever healthy.
Lastly I want to say for the younger kpop fans to not idolize these kind of diets idols are following because most of the time they're starving diets and the idols have admitted themselves to regret following them because they had suffered dramatic consequences. You're beautiful and you don't need to be looking like a Barbie to prove that. And remember that you don't need to starve yourself in order to lose weight, there are actual healthy ways to do it. And I don't say that because I want to act as a stupid moralist or life savior but because I've suffered too from ED tho I was lucky enough to make a slow recovery.
