Ayumi, formerly of girl group Sugar, confesses that the conditions were poor during her trainee days.

SBS knowledge and health variety show 'Three perspectives' takes a close look at the reasons why the stomach hurts and digestion fails when people are stressed or nervous from three viewpoints: history·science·medicine. The program says that when the gut environment is disturbed, the brain's emotional circuits are also shaken, and explains the core of that as the problem of "gut mold".

On Sunday the 18th at 8:35 a.m., SBS 'Three perspectives' will feature special guest Ayumi, who opens up about her experience with the mold that is central to the broadcast. "During my idol days I practiced in a rehearsal room full of mold and used a fan for ventilation," she said, revealing the poor conditions at the time and surprising the studio. She also shared that even while active as an idol she had irregular meal times and constant stress that left her gut health always poor, eliciting sympathy.

From the medical perspective, the show's signature mystery box appears and reveals clues to the story. Family medicine specialist Lee Sang-hoon recounts the tragic story of a man once called the "balloon man," in whose gut an astonishing 18kg of feces accumulated, leading him to die at a young age, shocking the recording studio. Docent Lee Chang-yong also said, "Elvis Presley, the king of rock and roll, also suffered from the same rare disease as that balloon man," and spoke about his autopsy.

MCs Kim Seok-hoon and So Seul-ji, science writer Kwak Jae-sik, docent Lee Chang-yong, neurologist Sohn Yu-ri, family medicine specialist Lee Sang-hoon, and special guest Ayumi examine the core of "gut mold" from three perspectives on episode 30 of SBS 'Three perspectives,' which airs Sunday, Jan. 18 at 8:35 a.m.<
