Fans are expressing concern over Aria Jin, who has announced that she has turned vegetarian, shortly after shaving her hair.

The singer, who announced her retirement from the entertainment industry back in April, posted an update on her RedNote, with a photo of her buzzcut and the caption, “Third day of becoming a vegetarian.”

However, given her height of 172cm and estimated weight of less than 49kg, many fans are concerned about whether her dietary changes will affect her health.

A few days earlier, Aria shared a photo of her with her shaved head, saying that she had actually cut off all of her hair ten days ago and added, “Don’t worry. My hair will grow back.”

She also assured fans that everything will get “better and better.”

The singer’s family has come out to clarify that Aria is doing well, adding that she shaved her head because she was tired of her long hair.

Following the footsteps of Lelush, Chinese singer Aria Jin (aka Jin Zihan) recently announced that she is retiring from the entertainment industry.

It is noted that rumours of her quitting the industry sparked on 3 April, after netizens noticed that she has cleared her Weibo account from all posts including stage photos and drama promotions.

Her studio account, on the other hand, has not been updated since August 2024, while her last public appearance was at the Hainan Film Festival in December 2024.

On the afternoon of 8 April, she finally confirmed the speculations, saying, “I will return to my own life and I hope everyone can understand my decision.”

Her agency Yuehua Entertainment also shared her statement, and wished her the best for the future.

Aria became popular after joining the idol survival show, “Youth with You Season 2”, but ranked 11th, just short of making her debut with THE9. However, she then joined the group NAME in 2021.

It is noted that Aria has actually started her career even earlier than that, having won the Gold Award for Vocal Group and Dance Group at the 3rd Chinese Art Festival for Children.
