On Oct. 6, LOONA Chuu created a post on her Instagram story to dispel the rumor about her having an eating disorder.
Chuu wrote:
"Chuu eating disorder, anorexia, and so on. It's totally not true. Of course, I was banned from going out in the past, and I didn't know how to relieve stress right away with my busy schedule. That's why I didn't really take care of my body and ate spicy food.
Now, I enjoy working happily through sports, hobbies, and conversations with people around me, so I'd appreciate it if you could cheer me on instead of misunderstanding or worrying."
