[Asia Economy Reporter Kim Jeong-ho] Singer Sunmi said she gained weight for her health.

On the afternoon of the 11th, JTBC's 'Knowing Bros' (hereafter 'Knowing Bros') aired, featuring Zico, Sunmi, Monsta X's Shownu, and Jooheon.

That day, Lee Soo-geun praised Sunmi's elegant beauty, saying, "Sunmi is like a Korean cuisine researcher."

In response, Sunmi said, "The others appearing with me are so strong. I tried to look strong too," causing laughter.

Additionally, Lee Soo-geun complimented Sunmi's much healthier appearance, joking, "I used to think you were deliberately trying to be thin on the rooftop."

Furthermore, Sunmi revealed that she gained 8kg. She said, "When I was promoting 'Heroine,' I dropped to 41kg, but I thought I was going to die like that, so I gained up to 50kg."

In response, Kang Ho-dong said, "I'm not lying, but I don't remember 41kg in my life. I remember from around 60kg," bringing laughter to those around.

Meanwhile, the 'Knowing Bros' members were not pleased with Zico, calling him a "traitor." In the past, Zico promised to recommend 'Knowing Bros' to IU when he appeared, but he did not keep the promise.

Regarding this, Zico said, "Didn't I explain via video from the US last time? Didn't that explanation satisfy you enough?" Hearing this, Min Kyung-hoon joked, "There was no sincerity."

Then Zico explained, "The reason I didn't recommend 'Knowing Bros' to IU is because 'Knowing Bros' has already risen to the top tier. When recommending music, you don't recommend famous songs, right? First of all, I really like 'Knowing Bros.' When scheduling this album, it wasn't even my first priority, it was zero priority."

'Knowing Bros' airs every Saturday at 9 PM.
