As compared to the other three F4 members, Ken Chu looks visibly heavier over the years. With his weight gain, he was also having a hard time drowning out the jibes on him.
Recently, Ken recorded the Chinese variety programme, Burning Calories <燃燒吧！卡路里>. Suddenly, he was in pain and he had to skip the first half of the show. After the incident, he finally revealed the reason behind his weight gain.
It turns out that Ken is suffering from a rare disease, Fibromyalgia which is a rheumatic condition characterized by widespread musculoskeletal pain. As such, it is difficult for Ken to undergo vigorous exercises. Over the past few years, the public had been criticising and mocking him on his appearance and figure, and Ken did not know how to explain his weight gain.
Breaking down in tears, Ken said, “Hence, I have been enduring silently all these years. I felt that I had enough.”
Ken also revealed why he had agreed to record this show. “This could be my last chance. I want to find that healthy feeling again. At least, I hope to find the painless feeling.”
Ken’s weight was 90.2 kg when he first joined the programme in January. Due to his upcoming wedding banquet, he is trying to lose weight and he now weighs 80 kg.
