tripleS fans are raising serious concerns about member Kim Chaewon after her recent appearances revealed drastic and alarming weight loss. Just six months ago, Kim Chaewon was known for her naturally slim yet healthy figure. However, since the start of 2026, fans have noticed a significant change in her appearance, with her frame becoming visibly thinner during the latest shows.
According to the idol herself, she is currently undergoing treatment to straighten her teeth, which may cause a reduction in food intake due to pain. While some fans have acknowledged this explanation, many believe the extent of her weight loss is too severe to be attributed solely to dental procedures.
The concern increased further during the group’s “My Secret New Zone” concert, held in early April. Participants pointed out that his spine was visibly pronounced even when standing, and some described his physique as “extremely fragile.”
Clips and photos from the concert quickly spread on social media, triggering widespread reactions from both Korean and international fans. Many have expressed concern about his health, wondering how he can continue to perform in such conditions.
Online comments reflected growing unease. Some fans have urged the company to step in and prioritize his well-being, even suggesting a temporary hiatus. Others have speculated about possible underlying causes beyond dental treatment, although these claims remain unverified.
- “She looks really really sick.”
- “At this point, even if she refuses to eat because of the pain, someone has to force-feed her.”
- “I lost weight even when I straightened my teeth. It hurts so bad. But you gain it back once you get used to the pain and figure out how to eat.”
- “It’s not the teeth straightening fault at all. There are many ways to get calories and nutrients by drinking beverages.”
- “Don’t believe her even if she says she’s getting her teeth done. This is due to the weight-loss injections.”
- “Such a person must be in TT hospital.”
Despite differing opinions, the dominant sentiment remains concern for Kim Chaewon’s health. Supporters have called for better care and monitoring, pointing out that his condition appears to go beyond typical weight fluctuations. As discussions continue, the situation has reignited larger conversations about idol health, industry standards and the pressures placed on young K-pop artists.
