01 / THE DOCUMENTED EVENTS
What is on the public record.
After reaching 85 kilograms, Kim Tae-woo regained weight to around 95.4 kilograms during the contract and did not attend the agreed care sessions. JUVIS sued. In 2018, his agency was ordered to pay ₩65 million; the court rejected personal liability on the singer's part. The contract also provided for care during the year after it ended.
The advertised change, the care actually received and the agency's responsibilities may no longer align.
03 / WHERE HPA COULD HELP
Where thoughtful care could make a contribution.
An agreed HPA engagement could assess aesthetic changes over time and coordinate with the specialists responsible for weight and health. A calendar, clear contact arrangements and expressly funded follow-on care support continuity. This does not promise permanent maintenance of a target weight or prevention of a contractual breach.
These publicly documented cases illustrate different risks: contract disputes, conflicting advertising claims, interrupted care and later negative associations with a brand. The people and companies are editorial case studies; their inclusion does not imply that HPA has cared for them. Each HPA perspective is a hypothetical application of our proposed services, not evidence that HPA could have prevented the events described.
These editorial portraits identify the people discussed. They may have been taken at a different time from the events in the case study. We draw no clinical findings or conclusions about treatment needs from their appearance.
