Block B Jaehyo starved himself for a photoshoot???

[sickwithsin]

Apparently he talked about it on V app; about how, in preparation for a Men's Health photoshoot, he ate only salt and bread crumbs and drank only beer. No water, dehydration suppresses your appetite.

Correction: Jaehyo did not drink alcohol while dieting. He said he wanted to drink after the photoshoot. x

Jaehyo’s latest V App broadcast…

Long post. I just watched Jaehyo’s V App broadcast and I’m completely speechless, scared, and mad. I can’t believe it. He had a photoshoot for Men’s Health magazine May edition, and in order to â€œshow us better pictures this timeâ€, as he said, he didn’t drink water for 4 days. 4 days without water, because if you don’t drink water, you lose your appetite. He drank only beer. He had to perform on stage under this condition, he sweated, he lost water. He said he was experiencing hell, but he could pull it off by thinking of fans and Block B’s album, so he made it. He said he didn’t talk much in Japan and also didn’t talk much with the members so he won’t feel too thirsty. Imagine recoding in this condition? Well, he had to.

He had a trainer to “help†(let me put this under quotations because, seriously…) him with exercises, but he said that his trainer “almost killed himâ€. He said that as a joke, but he also said that he was tired and his trainer, um, helped him go beyond his limits. He said this training gave him pains, but the training helped him overcome this pains. Let’s remember that Jaehyo has a knee problem for years, and it gives him pain. When he said that, he kept massaging his knee. Let’s also remember that he had a knee surgery not too long ago, and during Block B’s concerts, he had to sit on a chair because he couldn’t perform the dancing. He stayed some days at the hospital, too.

Alright. He didn’t drink water for 4 days, he had to exercise beyond his limits with this knee problem - (and was dehydrated,) - AND, guess, he didn’t eat either. HE DIDN’T EAT. He ate bread crumbs and two fingers full of salt since he had to pump up his body.

None of the members were there to show him support. He said that he wanted to invite them, but they were all sleeping, so… He said, “I’m sure our members are enjoying a good rest. None of them are watching it, huh?†he added “Kyung usually keeps track of almost all episodesâ€, but they were all sleeping because they had just arrived from Japan. But so had Jaehyo. To me, he sounded a bit hurt. Not to mention that his confidence is so low that he asked the cameraman, “How many people are watching this now? Three?†and laughed tired.

During the broadcast, he said he wished he was more bright but he wasn’t feeling well. He said he wished to look more energetic, but he was tired. His lips and face were completely pale. watch it and you’ll see.

All because he promised fans he would give his best to make his body look nice in the pictures. Do you see how insane this is? He could have seriously died from this. All because he wanted to keep a promise he made us. All because he wanted be more well known through this magazine photoshoot. All because he wanted fans to be proud of him. He kept saying this was for us. Everything because his confidence is down low. Does he joke around about how handsome he is? Yeah, but we know that his popularity is not like Zico’s and he knows he’s not everybody’s bias and he wants to make his fans proud of him.

I am so mad. I wish Jaehyo knew how amazing he is, how adorable he is, how funny and talented he is. How much his voice is wonderful. He’s a gentleman, he’s a cutie, he’s a sunshine. He’s so important, and I want him to know that. Not for his body or muscles, but for being Jaehyo.

Jaehyo, please take care of yourself.

So sad to hear :(

The fact that the people who might've told him to be this way just for a photoshoot is even more heartbreaking.

[HugeBoi Minos Wife]

Damn this is so extreme I cant even imagine what it felt like...4 days without drinking water and eating properly? Thats just insane!

[Ambi]

Nooo

[UNNIE]

So he drank beer for a photoshoot but not water

[bluecottoncandy]

don't do that!

Idols need to stop with this unhealthy dieting, and they should definitely stop acting like it's a huge accomplishment afterwards. They have fans who look up to them, many of them whom probably suffer from low self esteem and have issues with their body, in Korea especially. What will they think about their own bodies when they see that already thin people feel the need to starve themselves? 

 

I feel bad for Jaehyo, please take care of yourself 

[memejae]

this is really sad and scary. I hope he's ok now..

[denizen mars]

why do idols need to diet so hard for photos when we have photoshop these days? besides a healthy diet and exercise does far more for one's looks than this nonsense

Thank you for saying this. Idols indeed need to live a healthier lifestyle but I always cringe whenever I see an idol sharing "diet tips" that are unhealthy as hell. It's terrible enough you do this to your own body but please don't put any unhealthy ideas into the heads of young viewers (or all viewers really).

 

Anyways I hope he doesn't do this anymore. Given how active an idol is, this type of stunt is dangerous. I hope he will accept he's perfectly lovely as he is and stop with crazy diets. And shame on people who convinced him to do this. I hope y'all get fat. Lol.

I've been so worried for him. When I watched the V App broadcast he looked so pale and his lips had hardly any color. Jaehyo is so beautiful and I'm honestly so hurt that he would think he would need to starve himself for a magazine shoot. He's such a sweetheart and I just wish his trainer didn't make him do this, it's so messed up and I am beyond outraged.

[Sailor Mars]

OMG Jaehyo :( Take care of yourself

[Thigh-high feminist]

So ironic that that craziness was for Men's Health lol

[g-dragons girlfriend]

Please look after yourself, Jaehyo! Fans would love you no matter what the outcome of a stupid photoshoot.

[Seulchu]

[Scorpio]

And he looks so proud about it, I hope this doesn't work as encouragement for any fan out there, really everything he went through sounds like hell and IS dangerous.

[FAIRY PUTA]

So ironic that that craziness was for Men's Health lol

[samshik]

wtf is he thinking?

it's not like he's not skinny at the first place?

this is so sad. Jaehyo no!

[CharmSparks]

[Charmy]

poor baby :/

[DeeZee]

I hate to throw an entire country under the bus, but stuff like this makes me look at Korean's funny. Idols are always saying shit like this and no one there ever calls them out. They act like starving yourself is perfectly normal. Like, America is far from perfect, but a celebrity would get lectured for admitting something like this.

[Orangey]

.... B---h, come here.

 

It's so frustrating when you can't do more to help idols gain self-confidence or to stop extreme dieting, etc. Idols like Yongwha etc. talk about eating one apple or some cheese for the whole day and stuff like that, it's really sad.

 

Even worse that his 'trainer' encouraged this kind of behavior. I saw his recent airport photos and he looked weak, sick and skinny as hell. Jaehyo, no!!! This isn't right.
