Megami-sama diagnosed with vocal cord nodules

[notyourgeisha.livejournal.com]

KARA‘s Gyuri has been diagnosed with vocal cord nodules.

During the rehearsal for the Korean performance for her musical ’200 Pounds Beauty’, Gyuri felt something was wrong and headed to the hospital on November 18th for a check up.

All the performances and rehearsals for the musical that started back in August seems to have finally taken a toll on Gyuri’s throat.

DSP Media stated, “Although the hospital called for absolute rest, Gyuri is regulating her condition while still practicing for her musical. The musical production staff is worried about the condition of her throat, and stated that they will try to work something out for the upcoming performance on December 6th at Seoul’s Choongmoo Art Hall. However, Gyuri has refused and has not stopped practicing.”

Gyuri commented, “Whatever condition my body is in, the performance is a promise with the audience. I know that whatever the excuse is, the audience will not accept it. I wanted to prepare the best stage, but my throat condition is worse than I thought, so I’m really upset. However, I’m trying my best to recover quickly so that I can fulfill my duties on the promised stage.”

She added, “I think of it as my fault that I did not keep my health up in the best possible state. But, I will try my best during practices so that I won’t have a negative effect on the performance.”

The Korean run of the musical is scheduled throughout December, but since she's so stubborn she'll probably do them all and seek treatment afterwards. Read about vocal cord nodules here.

not like she is an actual singer. auto-tune and lip-syncing will help her far better than any doctor. she is still pretty though.

umm but she's in a musical lip synching would be bad

:( pobrecita. she should really listen to her doctors though. she might end up ruining her voice permanently if she overdoes it

[meccamputech.livejournal.com]

listen to your doctors and rest please.
i don't need hamster taking your lines.

Girl rest now. If people can't understand that you need rest for your own health, they're the last people in the world you should be trying to please.

Really this whole thing with these stars pushing themselves past exhaustion and it being seen as a good thing is ridiculous. It's admirable to want to do your best and to give back to your fans but you shouldn't risk your own health for other people. Companies should not allow/encourage/force their artists too keep going when they know very well it's detrimental to their health.

Hoping she gets better, she needs to listen to the doctors for that to happen!

hope she gets better 8(

It's not even logical for her to be singing with vocal cord nodules. She can permanently damage her vocal chords this way.

It's a combination of just bad technique (meaning she needs to figure out how to sing properly technique wise) and just over abuse.

She should seriously just sit down and not talk for a few days, even to a week. Who knows how long this has been going on before she actually went to the doctor.

Don't be stupid Gyuri, don't ruin what you got.

Rest Gyuri! All you're doing is making it worse if you don't. =(

Oh! My Goddess~! Please get well soon desu.

I still don't know what vocal chord nodules are, but every time I read about some idol diagnosed with them, it sounds horrifying. I hope she's able to recover from them. :(
