On February 21, a post circulated on various online communities, expressing their worries about Apink Bomi's health.
In particular, the six-member second-gen group made its comeback with its special album "HORN" and title track, "Dilemma" on Feb. 14.
As it is the first activity in a year and 10 months of the group, K-pop enthusiasts, particularly Pink Panda (fandom of Apink) showed huge interest in their promotional activities and music show broadcasts.
In the article then, a video of Apink performing "Dilemma" on the SBS music program "Inkigayo" last Feb. 20 was attached. In the clip, Bomi boldly showed her figure by matching a crop-top with shorts as a stage costume.
However, the post's writer expressed concern over Bomi's skinny waist, wherein the outline of her ribs was already noticeable. Others also agreed and implied that her face looked pale compared to her past activities.
Bomi is known to have lost a lot of weight as she went on a diet ahead of her recent comeback, even sharing their management tips on TMI News.

Along with the article, Apink Bomi's confession of suffering atopic dermatitis last year caught the attention of K-pop fans again.
Earlier in January last year, Bomi confessed the side effects of her extreme diet on the SBS entertainment program, "My Fantasy Home." At that time the "Mr. Chu" singer confessed that she lost weight, about 8 to 9 kg rapidly following an extreme diet.
"During Apink's "Only One" promotion in 2016, I've lost about 8 to 9 kg rapidly. After that, my immune system weakened and atopic dermatitis occurred."
"I'm not sick, but it feels like ants were crawling around my body. I should not scratch it, so I tied my hands with clothing when I sleep. Still, when I woke up in the morning, the tie was already loose and I scratched it without realizing it, and have blood on my face."
Bomi added that since then, she became health-conscious, even wearing clothes made of clay for natural healing.
At that time, Apink's leader Chorong also expressed concerns, confessing she felt bad that Bomi felt the need to wear turtleneck outfits to hide her wounds.
Due to this, Pink Pandas and supporters of Bomi cheered on the female idol through sns, urging her to prioritize her health the most.
