SISTAR's Hyorin revealed that she suffered from biliary atresia* when she was a child.

On the 8 May episode of KBS 2TV's '1 vs 100', SISTAR's Hyorin revealed that she was not healthy in her childhood.

"Although I'm nicknamed 'athletic idol' and have a fit image now, in reality, I wasn't healthy when I was born. My abdomen was filled with fluid so my weight (at birth) was 4.2 kg. I also had biliary atresia," Hyorin said, shocking everyone.

Continuing, she said, smiling, "My parents have always worried a lot about my health ever since I was a child. (But) I'm a lot healthier now." Hyorin also revealed that she did not let her parents know when she was hospitalized recently as she did not want them to worry.

Meanwhile, in that episode, Hyorin and Jo Hee Bong had an intense quiz showdown with 100 quiz contestants.

*Note: Biliary atresia is a blockage in the tubes (ducts) that carry a liquid called bile from the liver to the gallbladder. It occurs when the bile ducts inside or outside the liver do not develop normally.
