Jonghyun Lost 5kg Due to the Anxiety of Starting a Solo Career

SHINee‘s Jonghyun, who has recently debuted as a solo artist, revealed that he lost weight from anxiety.

On January 19, the talented singer appeared as a geust on KBS 2TV’s variety show “Hello Counselor.”

During the show, he revealed his emotions behind starting his own solo career by saying, “I’m actually really nervous, but I hide my tension and step onto the stage.”

When the MCs asked him, “Why are you so thin?” he replied, “I lost around 5kg out of anxiety.”

Jonghyun also sang “Crazy” when asked what his favorite song was out of the entire album. Jung Chan Woo marveled at his short performance, saying, “You really do seem crazy when singing,” while failing to imitate his dance moves.

Meanwhile, his song “Deja-boo” rapidly hit the top of music charts as he scored first place on both MBC “Music Core” and SBS “Inkigayo.” He especially revealed the artist inside him by participating in all aspects of his album.
