Jiye Eun Temporarily Suspends Activities Due to Hypothyroidism

Entertainer Jiye Eun has been diagnosed with hypothyroidism and is temporarily suspending all activities, including 'Running Man'. According to sources, Jiye Eun sought medical attention after experiencing unexplained fatigue and a decline in her condition while she was actively working. It is reported that she was diagnosed with hypothyroidism following tests. In fact, she has been focusing on treatment and rest since she stopped all broadcasting activities in September.

Recently, during an SBS 'Running Man' broadcast, MC Yoo Jae-suk mentioned, "Jiye Eun is currently undergoing treatment. It has been widely known as burnout, but that is not the case at all. The health check results indicated that she needs treatment and is resting," correcting any misunderstandings.

Her agency stated, "Jiye Eun has recently recovered a lot, but the exact timing of her return is undecided," and expressed gratitude for the support from fans. Jiye Eun has risen to prominence as a popular entertainer through 'SNL Korea' and 'Running Man', receiving love from viewers.

Hypothyroidism is a condition where the secretion of hormones essential for metabolism is not smooth, leading to chronic fatigue, digestive disorders, and weight gain. It is particularly common in women, but early symptoms are often mild, making early detection difficult. Treatment involves long-term rest and medication, and in severe cases, it can lead to other complications, requiring special management.
