HIGHLIGHT's GIKWANG
Gikwang of Highlight is very hypersensitive to seafood, especially shellfish. His sensitivity is so extreme that just smelling a shellfish kind will induce him to itch all over his body.
BLOCK B's PARK KYUNG
If BLOCK B's Park Kyung is near to cats, then he cannot help sneezing. He's got to stay far away because the fur and the scent make him crazy. A few of the indications are sneezing, burning eyes, and itchiness in the skin.
SHINee's ONEW
Onew of SHINee is anaphylactic to the melons and cucumbers. He can not eat any kinds of melon, watermelons, honeydew, and cantaloupe. SHINee's other co-members must stay away if they choose to consume these goods!

Most people are springtime lovers. JYJ member Junsu is not a fan of this season. He has a serious pollen allergy, and walking out in the spring will trigger him to sneeze, have a runny nose, and itch.
INFINITE's SUNGGYU
INFINITE's Sunggyu has exceptionally delicate skin. So sensitive even that when he comes into contact with metal, he will have an allergic reaction! Any exposure can trigger his skin to break out in patches and hives, so his assistants need to organize his outfits accurately.
SISTAR's FORMER MEMBER, DASOM
Dasom has a heart for animals. So it hurts her heart because she is sensitive to animal fur. She was the only ex SISTAR member to be unable to have a pet. If she is attached to an animal's hair, her skin will swell up, and she will start to have breathing difficulties and uncontrollably begin to sneeze.
GIRLS' GENERATION's JESSICA JUNG
Jessica has been shown to have cucumbers sensitivity. It's unclear if it's just an allergy or sheer hatred, but she has admitted she can't bear a cucumber's scent or taste. So much so, if a platter has a bit of cucumber in it, she won't touch it!
SF9's DAWON
Dawon of SF9 can't merely consume raw fish. Sushi, sashimi, anything uncooked with seafood will give him an allergic response. It's said that Dawon sticks with just cooked things on the list when his group goes out to dine at a sushi restaurant.
NU'EST MEMBER HWANG MINHYUN
Sodium, salt, saline. Whatever you choose to call it, it's hugely hypersensitive to Minhyun. His allergic reaction is so intense that his skin swells and breaks out in the hives, even with the slightest touch.
