NMIXX’s Haewon has become one of the hottest topics in K-Pop this week — not for a comeback, but for her drastic weight loss and a series of late-night messages to fans that left netizens deeply divided.
Her recent public appearances sparked widespread discussion and heartbreak over her noticeably thin figure, which in turn fueled diet and surgery rumors and heated online debates. Then her latest messages to fans poured fuel on the fire.
NMIXX Haewon Reflux Esophagitis Messages To Fans
In the messages, Haewon told fans: “I’m hungry. I’m usually the hungriest before going to bed. Exactly at this time. But I can’t eat now. Reflux esophagitis. Scary. I have trouble with digestion. I’ll eat after I wake up. Yes, yes. I should go to sleep.”
The mention of reflux esophagitis — inflammation of the esophagus caused by stomach acid flowing back up — split the internet. Some netizens were frustrated that people were spreading unconfirmed rumors about her weight and appearance when she is clearly trying to manage a health condition.
Netizens Divided Over Haewon Health Claims
Others pushed back, arguing it was misinformation to claim she had GERD — her message only described reflux symptoms she experiences when eating late at night, not a diagnosis. Either way, the episode highlights the intense scrutiny female idols face over their bodies, with every appearance dissected for evidence of extreme dieting or cosmetic procedures.
Koreaboo reports the divided reactions are ongoing, with fans on both sides urging more sensitivity around discussing an idol’s health. Haewon has not issued any further statement on the matter.
