When Weight Loss Affects the Voice: Wendy’s Struggles

In a behind-the-scenes video released on January 7, 2026, Wendy provided a raw look at the production of her latest album, 「Cerulean Verge」. She revealed that because she lost weight unexpectedly, her voice has become thinner, losing the "rich sounds" she's known for. "I'm singing off-balance," she admitted, visibly disappointed by her inability to produce the tone she desired.

Despite forcing herself to eat gimbap to maintain her energy, Wendy noted that her vocal control remained unstable. She expressed concern that she was singing in a way that might damage her vocal cords, calling the situation "a shame" as she strives for perfection in her craft.

Rising Health Concerns Among Global Fans

The ReVeluv community has reacted with deep worry. Many fans pointed out that Wendy’s comment about forcing herself to eat even when she has no appetite suggests high levels of stress or physical exhaustion. Clips of her looking devastated by her vocal performance have circulated on platforms like X (formerly Twitter), with fans urging her to prioritize her well-being over artistic perfection.
