Recently, while the idol was interacting with fans on a subscription-based communication platform, she received a message from a fan, talking about their problematic attitude toward food. The fan expressed that they were refraining from eating out of fear of gaining weight and revealed that they had just entered the 40 kg range of body weight.
Sullyoon responded with a realistic and encouraging message, telling the fan to throw away their weighing scale and eat well.

However, an even bigger reaction was directed at the fan as many saw such messages to be problematic and invasive. Some comments also suggested that the fan should seek professional help instead of talking to an idol about it.
what possesses you to throw your eating disorder at your idol like this… is this some kind of validation seeking?? https://t.co/olJuHsdbFc
