Who was Nihal Candan? Turkish influencer dies after struggling with anorexia
Candan had reportedly dropped to just 23 kilograms after losing nearly 37 kilograms in the last two years. While undergoing treatment at the hospital, her heart stopped, and doctors were unable to revive her.
News of her deteriorating condition was first shared by fashion designer Pınar Kerimoğlu, who wrote on Instagram: "I called Umut and asked 'How is she?' Unfortunately, Nihal's heart stopped again. CPR is currently being performed."
Moments later, fellow influencer Sıla Doğu confirmed her passing on social media.
Earlier this month, Nihal's sister, Bahar Candan, had revealed that she had been hospitalized, writing, 'My sister was taken to the hospital, she is anorexia... Do something, my sister is dying. She could not digest what she experienced. I hope you can feel remorse for slandering a young person like this and ruining his life.'
Nihal Candan had celebrated her 30th birthday just last week in the hospital.

She built a successful career as a social media influencer in fashion, beauty, and lifestyle, amassing nearly 900,000 followers on Instagram.
In 2023, she and her sister Bahar Candan were arrested on charges of fraud and money laundering, allegedly connected to a scam involving discounted vehicle sales.

Is BLACKPINK's Jennie's Seoul City about BTS' V? Fans decode new ‘clues' about singers' alleged secret relationship
BLACKPINK's Jennie has once again become the center of fan speculation, thanks to a carefully timed Instagram update that some believe was no coincidence. After weeks of silence, the idol returned to Instagram on June 9. She posted behind-the-scenes shots from her Seoul City music video. The timing? Just one day before BTS' V (Kim Taehyung) was officially discharged from the military on June 10. Though the video and single were released months earlier, Jennie hadn't promoted them on social media since April. Her sudden activity came after a long absence since Coachella and the wrap-up of her Ruby solo promotions. It was enough to get fans back in full 'detective mode.' Suspicious Seoul City lyrics? It didn't take long for fans to dissect every part of her post as well as a certain track from Ruby. One lyric in particular stood out: 'Mr. General.' The line, which Jennie performs in the Seoul City music video while giving a playful salute, has now become the focus of renewed theories. Some fans believe it's a subtle nod to V, who held the rank of officer during his service. Digging deeper, eagle-eyed fans noticed a large 'T' visible in one of Jennie's photos from june 9. It's interpreted by some as a possible reference to Taehyung. Though nothing has been confirmed, the coincidental timing and these visual 'clues' have only added fuel to long-standing relationship rumors. V's Japan return Just weeks later, on July 1, V landed in South Korea after completing a personal trip to Japan. But fans weren't just watching his arrival, they were analyzing his outfit. He was seen carrying a scarf draped over his bag that looked strikingly similar to the one Jennie wore during her return from Coachella 2025. To add to the intrigue, he sported a pair of headphones from a brand Jennie previously collaborated with. Though subtle, these overlapping details led many to believe the two might still be connected, even if behind closed doors. Fans divided over what it all means While devoted shippers took the signs as confirmation that the rumored relationship is still alive, others remained skeptical. Critics were quick to point out that the headphones V wore were from a 2023 collection. It's also revealed that the scarf has been part of his wardrobe for years. They argued that the so-called 'clues' could just be harmless coincidences.
