AKMU's Lee Suhyun reveals grueling training with Lee Chan-hyuk led to 30kg weight loss

AKMU's Lee Suhyun has candidly shared the hidden struggles and the power of family behind her successful 30kg weight loss. As she revealed the intense self-management and emotional recovery process hidden behind her bright and lovely stage image, fans are offering continuous support.

In particular, Lee Suhyun brought both laughter and emotion with her honest remark regarding the harsh training camp she shared with her older brother, Lee Chan-hyuk: “I wanted to run away, but I couldn't go because I felt like I would be cut off from my brother.”

On the 30th, a video titled 'A Day in the Life of AKMU's SUHYUN' was released on the YouTube channel 'Life84'. In the video, Kian84 followed the daily life of the noticeably transformed Lee Suhyun, revealing her workout routine and secrets to self-management.

The first place they visited was the training center that Lee Suhyun visits five days a week.

Despite successfully losing 30kg, Lee Suhyun has not let her guard down. She stated that she is continuing her consistent management, not being satisfied with her current appearance, saying, “It would be good if I could lose about 7kg more.”

When Kian84 cautiously asked about her weight, Lee Suhyun drew laughter by firmly replying, “That is rude.”

However, the laughter was short-lived as Lee Suhyun immediately dove into high-intensity exercise. She endured a grueling process, continuing intense training from power training to Hyrox workouts, to the point of describing it as “Life is tough.”

Nevertheless, she expressed the satisfaction gained from the process of change, saying, “I feel proud when I see the results of working out hard and managing myself.”

Lee Suhyun's 30kg weight loss process was not a simple diet.

She cited the intensive training camp held last January as her most difficult period.

“Coach, the three of us went to intensive training with my brother. The three of us lived in a single room for a month and exercised all day long,” she confessed.

It was an extreme lifestyle where most of the day had to be spent on exercise and diet management.

Lee Suhyun revealed her feelings at that time honestly.

“At first, I wanted to run away. But I couldn't go because I felt like I would be cut off from my brother.”

Though said jokingly, it contained her desire to take responsibility for the challenge she started with her family until the end.

Lee Chan-hyuk and Lee Suhyun have grown together since childhood as musical colleagues and family. While there were sometimes conflicts due to different musical directions and personalities, they are ultimately the ones who understand each other best.

In this weight loss process, Lee Chan-hyuk was not just a workout partner, but a family member who held Lee Suhyun so she wouldn't give up.

- “Hikikomori life”... Time to come back out into the world

Lee Suhyun confessed that she led an isolated life during a difficult period in the past.

She revealed, “Before that, I was living a hikikomori life alone.”

Having spent much of her time staying indoors and distancing herself from people, she began to change her lifestyle pattern with the help of her brother and her coach.

It is said that Lee Chan-hyuk suggested, “Let's live together,” so that his sister wouldn't easily refuse, but also persuaded her by saying, “Let's do a share house” to reduce the burden.

Ultimately, Lee Suhyun lived together in a detached house, focusing on exercise and diet management, and returned in a completely different form after a long period of one year.

It was a process of not just losing weight, but regaining her life rhythm and confidence.

- “What's scarier than alcohol is binge eating”... She also changed her relationship with food

Lee Suhyun also spoke honestly about the changes in her eating habits.

She recalled her past experience of drinking alcohol, saying, “I mainly stick to a diet and I don't like alcohol.”

“From the moment I got drunk, I ate until I vomited food. Because I lived suppressing my desire for food, the moment it was released, I would keep eating until my body rejected it.”

She continued, “I felt like if I drank alcohol, my body would be completely ruined.”

She explained that rather than a method of unconditional starving, she tried to change in a healthy direction by understanding her own appetite and psychology.

Currently, Lee Suhyun said, “I eat two meals a day,” and added, “I don't have good self-control. That's why I am training this hard.”

She added, “I am exercising, exercising, and continuing to do things I don't want to do.”

- “30kg weight loss is a change of heart rather than body”

Lee Suhyun's change cannot be seen as a simple external transformation alone.

While she always showed bright energy to the public, she was simultaneously fighting her own inner battles.

The change is greater than the number 30kg; it is the fact that she has learned to care for herself and regain control over her life.

The intensive training in a single room with Lee Chan-hyuk and her coach, the daily grueling workouts, and the constant period of self-discipline were not just a diet for Lee Suhyun, but a process of creating a new version of herself.

Having comforted the public through music, Lee Suhyun is now delivering another resonance through her story of change and growth.
