Actor Kim Bum, who recently appeared in the JTBC drama “Padam Padam,” is suffering from degenerative arthritis from working out and dieting too much, his agency revealed over the weekend.

According to King Kong Entertainment, Kim was diagnosed with osteoarthritis after the extreme dieting he did to prepare for his role in “Padam Padam.”

It was reported that the 22-year-old actor lost 11 kilograms for his role. It was also reported that the actor’s car accident in 2009 played a part in Kim’s recent osteoarthritis diagnosis.

However, the agency said that although it is true that Kim does have the condition, the affliction is not severe, and he is able to walk and perform general tasks without assistance. Kim recently finished filming a TV advertisement in Thailand and returns to Korea today.

Kim, who is also a student at Chung-Ang University, where he majors in theater and film, is scheduled to shoot a new thriller movie titled “Miracle.” Work on the film will begin next month.

Don't they consult a specialist before dieting? Actually, they should be careful in general. Even if they do not diet, their habits are usually so fucked up, idek how they cope, my health wouldn't stand it. Ugh, idk.

Poor Kim Bum, take care boy :(

this makes me sad. :( there is an unnatural amount of topless scenes in the drama.. i can imagine that before he got the role they told him he had to starve himself and work out excessively.
i hope he gets adequate time to rest before he starts a new project.

Never knew that you can get OA from dieting too much D: Doesn't that occur more to obese people?

NO..if you are too skinny you are prone to this as well. Your bones are not getting the proper nutrients they need...they get brittle. I am skinny naturally and my Dr told me to start taking vitamin D pills and fish oils such to build up my bones..because I would get back/joint pains etc.

From dieting too much, you can also weaken your heart, and be prone for heart failure/heart attack.

Too much of anything isn't good. This is why people should worry about all these fad, crazy diets these guys do. Skinny doesn't mean healthy.

It's actually common in people who suffer from anorexia and bulimia. Bones need nutrients to continue being healthy.

Not necessarily. Me and my sister both have it and were both under 30, and I'm under 25. It runs in our family unfortunately. It can be hereditary..

Honestly what I know about osteoarthritis is that you're likely to get it in case your overweight. In case your normal weight and have regular exercise you're not in the risk group. Never heard that you would get it from being underweight tbh. I mostly doubt in his case it's hereditary rather than caused by overworking. It can be triggered maybe by overworking, would be my first time to hear it though...

It can be caused by excessive exercise because that causes wear and tear on your joints. Also probably because I'm assuming his diet was limited he didn't get the nutrients he needed to keep himself healthy.

wow that's nasty! one more reason for people to remember take more care of themselves and not go crazy with diets and exercise! being healthy is great but when it goes too far it becomes harmful instead :(

I think he looks great, could use a few extra lbs though. Hearing his health is suffering from the weight loss makes me sad, why does image trump health in the entertainment industry :/
Also, I read once that maintaining an unnatural weight for your body makes you prone to all kinds of sicknesses..

I wouldn't be surprised to hear, in ~10 years, that the current crop of idols (male and female) mostly have osteoarthritis.
