When looking at K-pop artists, fans often get attracted by their sparkling eyes. However, many idols have poor eyesight, which can be due to myopia, hyperopia, or astigmatism. Here are K-pop idols with bad vision.
K-pop Idols With Bad Eyesight: EXO Suho, IVE Ahn Yujin, More
EXO Suho
According to Mnet's TMI News, MONSTA X Shownu also has poor eyesight, with his eyesight in his left eye measuring negative 4.50, while his right eye is negative 5.25. But like B1A4 Sandeul, the "Love Killa" singer also underwent eye surgery after he was informed that there was an abnormality in his retina in his left eye.
BTS Jin
BTS Jin is known to have worn glasses before his debut. But unlike the K-pop idols mentioned above, Jin is farsighted. It is said that one of his eyes has plus one (+1) eyesight. Therefore, he would wear glasses on BTS reality shows and other video content.
TWICE Nayeon
Nayeon is another member of the group who has bad eyesight.
During an episode of "The Manager," Nayeon's manager is heard desperately asking if the idol decided to wear glasses during filming. Just the very thought of Nayeon wearing glasses made her manager sigh!
This is because Nayeon's eyesight is so bad, the lens of her glasses is incredibly thick and powerful. Therefore, whenever she wears glasses, her eyes look much smaller than they actually are. Nayeon confessed she has bad eyesight and wears glasses outside of her schedules.
SEVENTEEN Wonwoo
Did you know this SEVENTEEN member actually has terrible eyesight?
Long-time CARATs are well-aware of this fact. In fact, the male idol has even been spotted squinting on stage when trying to look far ahead, proving he is near-sighted. With his constant squinting, many have wondered why Wonwoo does not wear contacts on stage.
EXO D.O.
It's not just Suho who has bad eyesight in EXO, D.O. too!
D.O. is near-sighted and has astigmatism, which makes it difficult for him when there are bright lights and flashes.
His bad eyesight once got him into a fight with Kai when they were trainees! Kai thought D.O. was glaring at him and was so offended that he refused to eat with D.O. for a while. However, D.O. meant no harem; he just couldn't see him that well!
MAMAMOO Solar
Solar revealed just how bad her eyesight is to fans during a chatting session with fans on the now-defunct V Live in 2018.
Solar revealed her eyesight is -4.50 (left) -5.00 (right), and astigmatism 0.75. Because of that, she always wears glasses at home. When asked about getting LASIK surgery to help her vision, she expressed her worries, saying the procedure sounded scary.
