8 Korean Idols Who Apparently Have Vision Problems, Wear Glasses in Daily Life - Undergo Lasik

Kapanlagi.com - Behind the glittering world of Korean idols, there are interesting stories that are often overlooked. Some idols have serious vision problems and have to rely on glasses. Let’s explore who they are and how their eye conditions are.

Korean idol groups are indeed known for their perfect appearances. However, not all of them have good vision. Some of them even have to wear glasses to carry out their daily activities.

Here is a list of Korean idols who have experienced vision problems and need glasses to support their appearances on stage and in daily life.

1. Gunwook (ZB1): Thick Lenses Indicate a Minus Level

Gunwook from the group ZEROBASEONE appears to be wearing glasses with quite thick lenses. Although there is no exact data regarding his prescription, many fans strongly suspect that Gunwook's prescription is more than -2.5.

This assumption arises because the shape of the lenses seems to shrink the area around his eyes, which is commonly seen in glasses with high prescriptions. Gunwook himself has never directly revealed what his prescription number is.

Fans hope that Gunwook can maintain his eye health so he can perform at his best on stage.

2. Dahyun (TWICE): Official Minus at -5.5

Dahyun from TWICE is openly known to have myopia with a relatively high prescription. In notes circulating among fans, Dahyun is recorded to have a prescription of -5.5.

This number is quite significant, considering that the normal vision threshold is usually below -1.5. With such a prescription, Dahyun needs glasses or lenses for daily activities, including reading.

This highlights the importance of maintaining eye health, especially for an idol who must perform in front of the public.

3. Jin (BTS): Previously High Minus, Now Has Had LASIK

Jin from BTS once mentioned that he had vision problems with a high minus number. However, he is now known to have undergone LASIK surgery to correct his eyesight.

This procedure helps Jin no longer rely on glasses or contact lenses. Now, he can perform freely on stage without visual obstacles.

The decision to undergo LASIK shows how serious Jin is about maintaining his appearance and eye health.

4. Wonpil (Day6): Esotropia and Dependence on Glasses

Wonpil from Day6 has a condition called esotropia, which is a form of strabismus that causes a lack of focus in vision. He is also known to wear very thick lenses due to his impaired eyesight.

Esotropia makes it difficult for Wonpil to see distant objects clearly. This often leads him to wear glasses both offstage and during practice.

Fans are very supportive of Wonpil as he undergoes eye treatment and hope he always performs in the best condition.

5. Ningning (aespa): Serious Issue in the Right Eye

Unlike other idols who wear glasses due to nearsightedness, Ningning of aespa has a serious vision condition resulting from a previous surgery. She suffers from a vision impairment that makes her right eye almost unable to see.

Although she does not actively wear glasses, Ningning's eye condition requires her to be careful in physical activities. This has also been a concern for fans since the news broke.

Fans hope that Ningning can maintain her eye health and continue to excel in the music world.

6. D.O (EXO): Astigmatism to Undergo Lasik

D.O of EXO is known to have astigmatism, which causes his vision to be blurry and unfocused. Because of this condition, he underwent Lasik surgery to correct the shape of his cornea.

With Lasik, D.O can return to activities without visual disturbances. He can also perform optimally on stage without the need for visual aids.

D.O's decision to undergo Lasik demonstrates his seriousness in maintaining his eye health and appearance in front of fans.

7. Yujin (IVE): The Highest Minus on This List

When she was still with IZ*ONE, Yujin revealed that she has a minus number of up to 9. This number is quite extreme and makes it difficult to engage in activities without glasses or lenses.

This high minus means she must use visual aids at all times. Many fans appreciate her dedication to performing excellently on stage despite having this challenge.

Fans always support Yujin and value her efforts and hard work in creating art.

8. Wonwoo (SEVENTEEN): Xerophthalmia that Disrupts Activities

Wonwoo from SEVENTEEN does not have myopia like most other idols, but he suffers from xerophthalmia. This condition causes his eyes to be chronically dry and results in unstable vision.

Due to this condition, he often appears wearing glasses to protect his eyes from irritation. Fans also know that the glasses Wonwoo wears are not just for style, but a medical necessity.

Fans always support Wonwoo and hope that he can manage his eye health issues well.
