LOONA's Chuu has denied speculation she has an eating disorder.

On October 6, Chuu posted to her Instagram story, "Chuu eating disorder, anorexia, and so on. It's totally totally not true. Of course, I was banned from going out in the past, and I didn't know how to relieve stress right away with my busy schedule. That's why I didn't really take care of my body and ate spicy food."

She added, "Now, I enjoy working happily through sports, hobbies, and conversations with people around me, so I'd appreciate it if you could cheer me on instead of misunderstanding or worrying."

The speculation started when the preview for Chuu's appearance on 'Oh Eun Young's Golden Counseling Center' aired. She said during filming, "I eat so much that I can't breathe. When I'm stressed, I eat like that. I ate and threw up. I once went to the emergency room because my body was stiff. I know I shouldn't, but it was to buy 20 minutes of happiness."
