AKMU's LEE SUHYUN shows confidence after 30kg weight loss

AKMU's LEE SUHYUN has revealed her transformed daily life after losing 30kg without relying on medication or weight-loss supplements. Having previously been candid about her weight fluctuations and dietary habits, she has drawn significant attention by sharing recent updates wearing tight-fitting jeans.

On the 2nd, Lee posted several photos on her SNS accompanied by a short message: “Goodbye summer!!! Come slowly!!!!!!” The photos capture various moments from her daily life, with her appearance in form-fitting jeans particularly catching the eyes of fans.

Previously, in April, Lee revealed through her YouTube channel that she had lost approximately 30kg compared to her peak weight. She recently shared her goal of losing an additional 7kg, signaling her commitment to consistent self-care.

In this transformation, Lee emphasized exercise and diet management over specific weight-loss products or medication. She has framed her weight loss not merely as a change in appearance, but as a process of building sustainable lifestyle habits. However, as weight loss methods and speeds vary based on individual health and environment, her specific approach should not be taken as a universal standard.

The interest in Lee's transformation is also tied to her storied career. She first rose to fame after appearing on SBS 'K-pop Star Season 2' with her brother, Lee Chan-hyuk, where the siblings won the competition. Their unique musicality and natural stage presence left a distinct impression that set them apart from other audition contestants.

Since their official debut in 2014, AKMU has built a unique musical identity by releasing songs across a wide range of genres, including '200%', 'Give Love', 'Long Day, Long Night', and 'How can I love you, like an ex?'. As the core vocalist, Lee's clear and distinctive tone defines the team's musical sentiment, and she has continued to expand her artistry through solo activities and broadcasting.

After working with YG Entertainment from 2014 to 2025, AKMU partnered with their manager to establish their own independent agency, 'Fountain of Inspiration'. Following this transition to an independent system, they entered a new phase of musical activity with the release of 'Blossom' this past April.

Alongside the change in management, Lee continues to undergo a transformation in both appearance and lifestyle. More significant than the 30kg figure is the fact that she has spent a long period reflecting on her health and adjusting her daily habits. As she pursues further goals, fans are eager to see how this evolution will influence her future musical endeavors.
