Many criticized the idol for seemingly promoting such an unhealthy diet, considering that he often shares the amount of food he eats as well. In fact, many are concerned that he is promoting starvation, which is already a common issue among idols when it comes to dieting.
Some comments from netizens read:
"Heol... And his body is able to function like that?"
"Can they stop talking about stuff like that."
"How is he still alive? Doesn't he faint?"
"What is that, anorexia? Packaging eating disorders as self-management is a big problem."
"I wish he hadn't talked about such a distorted diet plan."
"I am worried that young children will follow suit [in his diet]."
"Did you ever listen to this live broadcast? I listened to it with my dad and cursed the whole time. Really, he kept saying things like that on broadcasts, and is surviving with a few almonds. Is that anorexia? This is not good."
Reportedly, Sungjong weighs around 50kg to 51kg, while standing at 180cm (5'11") tall. As such, many are also worried that he is underweight.
