Appearing on YouTube channel “Saego\F5” on March 24, Onew shared his experience discussing his preference for sweet foods. She admitted, “I started liking sweets so much that I thought I could live with them.” She then revealed: “I was actually living on cake at one point. But my health was really bad then.”
His honest confession confirmed concerns previously raised by fans when he appeared noticeably thinner. At the time, his “skinny” appearance sparked widespread concern about his condition.
Another guest also recalled that time, saying that many people around Onew were seriously worried. “When he lost a lot of weight, we were really worried. People said he looked dangerous,” they shared.
Onew acknowledged the situation, adding that he had indeed consumed an excessive amount of sweets during that time. However, he reassured fans by sharing that he has since adopted a healthier lifestyle, saying he now balances a proper diet and exercise.
The revelation sheds new light on his hiatus following HARD promotions in 2023, when he temporarily stopped activities due to health issues. Now on the road to recovery, Onew is ready to reconnect with fans through his upcoming solo fan meeting, “2026 ONEW FANMEETING ‘TOUGH LOVE’ in SEOUL,” scheduled for April 11.
