Singer-turned-baker Cho Min-ah says she has health problems and her memory has deteriorated recently, but she provided few details on the nature of her condition.

The singer, who recently announced she was closing her embattled bakery, took to Instagram on Tuesday with a shocking photo of herself on a scale that appears to show she weighs only 40 kilograms.

Cho wrote, “It’s OK. ... I’ll be healthy again when I get some rest,” with the hashtag “4MoreWeeksTogo,” referring to the amount of time left before her bakery closes.

Given that Cho stands 166 centimeters tall and the average weight for a woman of her height is 56 kilograms, she is considered extremely underweight.

The singer sounded more than ready to end her stint at the bakery in Seoul, writing, “I will be able to sleep, eat, go to hospital, breathe clean air and be healthy again. It’s all good.”

Cho’s bakery will remain open for a few more weeks after a five-year run.
