Additionally, the TWICE member revealed that due to these medical checks, she was diagnosed with Cushing’s syndrome, a condition caused by excessive cortisol in one’s body, which causes symptoms like weight gain, skin changes, fatigue, high blood pressure, and even diabetes.
“That’s when I found out my exact diagnosis, ‘Crushing’s,’ was a word that I had never heard of before. Thanks to Unnie, I became healthy, and I was really grateful. Thank you so much for being my sister.”
