Isn’t she of normal height? Yet she lost weight to 39 kg? Are you sure she’s not sick?
39…. 말도안되는숫자다
이건 뼈말라가 아니라 그냥 뼈잖아요 https://t.co/CYh1K3xEMo— ❄️ (@suuunnlin) January 6, 2026
39…that is an unreal number. This isn’t just skinny. This is just skin and bones.
Meanwhile, Yena recently went viral for her performance with actor Choo Young Woo at the 2025 Asia Artist Awards.

She also expressed gratitude for the massive response to their “umbrella kiss” performance.
어? 얘들아 이거 뭐야? 내가 잘못본거지?
