AKMU's Suhyun reflected on the difficult period when she went through a slump period during her career.
On March 30, a short video titled “Suhyun’s Long Slump and Chanhyuk, Who Refused to Give Up on His Sister—The Story of AKMU Blooming Together” was released on the official YouTube channel of tvN’s variety show You Quiz on the Block.
In the video, when Yoo Jae Suk asked about her slump, Lee Suhyun recalled, “I actually lived for a long time without seeing sunlight.” Her brother Lee Chanhyuk added, “From the family’s perspective, she looked like she was having a really hard time, but she herself wasn’t aware of that state.”
In an interview with the production team, Suhyun candidly shared her feelings. “I stayed shut in my room like a hikikomori (recluse),” she said. “Playing games and eating delivery food became my daily routine.”
She continued, “I kept the curtains closed because I didn’t even want to feel whether it was day or night. I binge ate every single day. As your weight rapidly increases, you get severe stretch marks all over your body from your skin tearing. At that time, I even thought, ‘There is no better future for me.’”
It was Lee Chanhyuk who ultimately helped her out of the severe slump. He shared, “I felt like I would regret it if things reached a point of no return,” he said, explaining why he made efforts to support his sister.
Currently, Lee Su Hyun is recovering while living with her brother. “He keeps telling me to exercise and watch my diet,” she said with a laugh. “He talks so much that at some point, I only see his lips moving.”
