Jonghyun adresses his weight issues on Blue Night

[SarahChoi]

Since people have been bringing his weight up so many times in this forum I think people should know he adresses this issues head on and is taking care of himself.

(body image tw) jonghyun: my weight decided to drop to fifty eight / nine kilograms (ie: around one twenty eight/ thirty pounds). i thought my health would be at risk if i kept losing weight like that so i ate until i felt uncomfortable. i ate consciously but, just like everyone has a different way of living, for me…, eating consciously was a very hard thing. so, i decided to exercise and gain weight through increasing my muscles. (s/n: jonghyun had mentioned during a past broadcast (and the other members also did as well) a good deal of weight after their three day run of concerts in may. he also mentioned that he’s already gained two pounds since he begun to start exercising again during the broadcast today / that he’s broken into the 60s kilogram wise. also! this isn’t the first time that jonghyun had candidly spoken about his troubles with maintaining his weight on the show. he’s been very, very open about it and vocal on how hard he’s trying to keep in a certain range and just as vocal about how difficult it is for him due to contributing factors, ie: idol lifestyle, his anxiety (and insomnia), medication that he takes for a skin condition he has that lessens his appetite, his body type being naturally petite, ect. but the fact that he feels comfortable enough to share this openly with the world is one of the many reasons why it’s right to cheer him on through this all and not ridicule or judge him or imply things / spread rumors like some tend to do. anyway, he seemed happy when sharing this so congrats! ) (source: thatcoolcatmeow)

jonghyun: i’m working out to gain weight! i finally gained one kilogram and entered the 60s range! (s/n: one kilogram is a little over two pounds, and the “60s range†alludes to somewhere between one hundred thirty and fifty pounds.) (source: cosmicsticks)

 

 

 

He is trying to gain his health back so please don't make false judgement about him and try to understand he is human too.

I don't know why his "weight" is such a hot topic among his fans. Yes, I understand if you were truly concerned for his well being. But how would you like it if hundreds of people barraged you about your weight? In public nonetheless. 

 

Some people will call out idols for being too skinny and then when they "lose their abs" or have ramyeon belly, people will call them fat. Do you know what that does physiologically to these people? These idols who have one of the most time consuming jobs in the world. Stop discussing their weight, it's not any of your damn business. People deal with a lot of things in life, anxiety, trauma, depression, you don't know what's going on in their personal lives. Scrutinizing them for their weight just because it isn't YOUR ideal weight is wrong.

Glad to see that. I had worried that he had been unhealthy but it's nice to see him gaining back weight. Health comes first.

I didn't understand the concern for his weight. It would make more since if he wasn't a naturally small boy.

The funny thing is that Shawols aren't the ones bring up his weight all the time, they just say what they say to the other members "Eat well!" "Rest more!" "Take care of your health!", but a lot of people have been calling him out because of his weight and say that he looks like a druggie when he has health issues he is trying to deal with.

[Big Stupid Jellyfish]

I love everything about this man.

[sane]

I'm glad he's back focusing on his health

I really hope so, he's my SHINee bias and his weight never reflected what kind of man he was on the inside. 

I really bothers me when people criticize idols' weight losses/gains.

People have been always really critical about Jjong because they don't know him, but you can see in this forum people saying he had ps, he is into drugs, etc... because of his weight loss that came from health issues Shawols knew about, everytime I tried to explain his weight loss people just said Shawols were making excuses and shielding him. It bothered me, since I've been a Shawol for 7 years and I know his health issues, that people pointed their fingers to him so easily. Jjong sees what people write about him and he is in twitter a lot so he adressed this issue because he saw people talking about it.

[Blinket]

Thank u for posting this.

I hope some people /coughcough/ understand how disgusting they are making multiple threads about how he looks like this and that

[ElleMae]

Jonghyun is really one in a million in the idol scene. It takes a lot of bravery to be open about his health like this. I wish I could listen to his radio program or that every episode was available with subtitles, I love hearing what he has to say about many things.

 

Does anyone know why he's holding up a Coldplay album in that pic? So random lol

[SAUCY]

 

 

 

we all know the ones who make repeat posts about his weight dont really give a fuck. w/v

[Skibop!!]

I must have missed all this drama, never knew he had weight problems

[25%Cotton]

he's a tiny man packed with muscles. now that he's loosening his grip on his rock hard muscles, he's (naturally) losing weight.

the woman in the picture (nine, his co-host) brought him the album on vinyl. apparently jonghyun has been collecting vinyls lately 

[Zenny]

I just figured just like Taemin it was the stress. They both looked skinnier but they seem healthier especially when they all came back together.

[lynnini]

So much respect for this man. He's such an amazing person. 

[bearbeat]

i'm so happy that he's happy and healthy.  that's all that matters to me tbh.

[awulos]

I'm just glad he's healthy tbh, I'm not gonna lie for a while I was a tad concerned

It irritates me when people call him a druggie etc especially on twitter because he pays attention to stuff written about him on twitter

[EVA02]

I completely understand him. I personally have a similar struggle with maintaining my current weight. I'm severely underweight (37kg, 165cm). It's not like I actively avoid eating. It's just that I've forced myself to eat so many times that eating has become a cruel ritual for me. I don't even enjoy it anymore. My metabolism is quite fast. I lose weight even when I'm just sitting on my ass doing nothing. If I don't eat 4/5 meals a day I will lose about half a kilo.

People's shocked remarks "omg you're so skinny", "omg do they even feed you at home?" has become the norm for me.

 

So before commenting on Jonghyun's appearance and health, try to understand what might be happening with him. He pretty much knows he's skinny as well. He doesn't need people pointing that out
 

[Haunted]

Glad he's starting to gain more weight and be healthier.

[nancy mcflurry]

Tbh, I miss Jonghyun's muscles. I'm not going to start body shaming him and calling him a druggie and all that because that's not "caring about his health", that's just being an asshole. I love him no matter what, I'm not saying I liked him better back then, but, damn, when he used to have muscles like this:

........Dayum.

[patricia1]

he was so skinny, it looked bad.

[Little Miss Splendid]

good to know jjong wants to keep healthy looks

people should stop talking so lightly about idols weight and body proportions, specially if they don't really care about the idol (and his health) in question ...

i'm sure people saying bad things about jjong looks lately wasn't shawols
