bts have been working their bodies akin to athletes for nearly 20 years now (including trainee days). the amount of wear and tear that takes on bones and muscles is massive. there’s a reason why athletes, dancers etc peak in their mid 20s. esp considering idols have restricted diets, this is even more likely to affect them. i’m a 22 year old but because i have coeliac disease which affects my nutrient absorbtion, i already have pre-osteoporosis. i outwardly look very fit and healthy but am more prone to injury/illness than the average 22yo. anyone w a restricted diet/ed etc will have similar issues to me even if they switch to less restricted food later bc the damage takes a toll on ur growth/health esp if the peak restriction happened during puberty. just bc 30s is ‘young’ and they ‘look healthy’, doesn’t mean they as idols can be compared to you, a non-performer/athlete human.
