Koyote's SHIN JI shocked by health check: 'It's a miracle I can even walk'

SHIN JI, a member of the group Koyote, expressed shock after receiving unexpected health results. Although she maintains a steady career as a singer, her internal physical condition was diagnosed as being in a state of serious imbalance due to a severe lack of muscle mass.

In a video released on the YouTube channel 'How Are You?!?' on the 8th, SHIN JI and her husband Moon Won are shown visiting an oriental medicine clinic to undergo an eight-constitution test and a body composition analysis.

Upon checking the results, SHIN JI could not hide her surprise at her muscle mass figures, which were significantly lower than expected. She reacted with bewilderment, as if facing her physical condition for the first time, saying, "I'm so shocked. I have this little muscle mass?"

When asked about her eating habits, SHIN JI replied, "I eat about one or two meals a day." In response, the doctor mentioned that her irregular and insufficient food intake could be directly related to her current physical state.

SHIN JI confessed that she had been experiencing health issues recently. "Even though it's summer, I feel so cold," she said. "My cold hands and feet are so severe that it's painful. It is really stressful." She explained that she has been suffering from recurring symptoms of cold extremities and extreme sensitivity to the cold.

After reviewing the results, the doctor expressed deep concern regarding SHIN JI's condition. "It is a considerably serious level," he explained, adding, "There is almost no muscle mass, to the point where it is a miracle you can even walk." He advised, "You need to increase your muscle mass by about 12kg and maintain a weight in the early 50kg range."

Furthermore, the diagnosis revealed that her condition is not just a simple underweight issue, but a physical imbalance close to "skinny obesity." The doctor analyzed, "There is sufficient fat, but muscle is lacking. In particular, the upper body muscle mass is so insufficient that shoulder pain is inevitable."

The shock did not end there. An unusual result appeared in her InBody score, a key testing indicator. The doctor stated, "The InBody score doesn't even come out. This is a case that generally shouldn't happen," leaving SHIN JI stunned. "I didn't know it would be this bad," she said.

The doctor went on to explain that the lack of muscle mass is not just an aesthetic issue but affects overall bodily functions. He diagnosed, "If muscle mass is low, physical activity levels will inevitably drop. Although you are currently in your 40s, your physical condition is at a level comparable to someone in their 50s."

While SHIN JI has long projected healthy energy to the public through her stage performances, this test reaffirmed that muscle mass and balanced physical management are more critical than weight alone. Experts suggest that systematic health management, including improved eating habits and strength training, will be essential for her to continue her steady career.
