Former K-pop group Laboum member Yulhee has revealed a significant decline in her skin health, attributing the deterioration to unhealthy eating habits and stress. The singer shared her concerns on the Channel A entertainment program 'Beauty Clinic Touch Me,' where she sought professional advice and solutions.

Yulhee described her skin as having become increasingly problematic, with frequent breakouts, redness, sensitivity, and noticeable dark circles. "My skin was really good before, but lately, I've been getting a lot of acne, it's become red and sensitive. I also have a lot of dark circles. I think it's because I'm very stressed," she explained.

During the show, Yulhee demonstrated her skincare routine, which included double cleansing and exfoliation. However, experts pointed out that excessive washing could actually irritate her skin. Her habits also included reapplying makeup shortly after cleansing and exercising with makeup on. Furthermore, she admitted to habitually clenching her jaw and frowning when concentrating, driving, or exercising.

Adding to her concerns, Yulhee revealed that her habit of chewing food on only one side of her mouth has led to facial asymmetry. "No wonder I didn't want to take selfies," she remarked after a friend pointed out the unevenness. After undergoing detailed examinations, Yulhee received a personalized three-step solution aimed at restoring her skin's health, which was compromised by inflammation.

She pledged to reduce the frequency of harsh cleansing and to always remove her makeup before bed. Yulhee also stated she would be mindful of chewing food evenly and avoid hard foods. Born in 1997, Yulhee married Choi Min-hwan of FTISLAND in 2018 and they divorced in 2023.
