Singer Gangnam says he's been on IV drips three times amid sleep troubles

Singer and broadcaster Gangnam has opened up about a decline in his health.

On Tuesday, Gangnam posted a video to his YouTube channel revealing he had received IV drips multiple times due to recent health problems.

"I haven't been sleeping lately. I've had IV drips three times," he said in the video. "Even if I go to bed at midnight, I wake up at 4 a.m. feeling refreshed. Then I go for a run, but once I have lunch at noon, it's hell from there. I'm so tired I can barely speak." He attributed the fatigue to changes in his daily routine.

He added that his diet had also become erratic. "I was eating so much for YouTube shoots, and now I'm not eating because I'm worn out, so I've lost weight," he said, pointing to nutritional imbalance as a factor behind his health troubles.

Gangnam also spoke about the demanding pace of his filming schedule. "Korean culture is all about speed, isn't it," he said, before turning to his production crew and asking whether his producer Gangnam-i found it especially tough. The crew shot back, calling him "the worst celebrity, the worst YouTuber," drawing laughter.

Meanwhile, Gangnam married former national speed skating team member Lee Sang-hwa in 2019. The couple has since shared their everyday lives through his YouTube channel and other platforms, drawing a wide following.
