Actor Yoon Shi-yoon has impressively lost 5kg in just one day.
On the October 22nd episode of SBS's variety show 'My Little Old Boy' (known as 'My Ugly Duckling'), Yoon Shi-yoon's 24-hour water fasting challenge was featured.
Yoon Shi-yoon, who stands at 177cm tall, weighed in at 67.4kg with a body fat percentage of 6.7% at the start of the day. He revealed that he is undergoing a rigorous diet in preparation for his return in 'Taxi Driver 3' to fit his character's role.
"Today is the day of water fasting," Yoon declared, adding, "I need to look gaunt and hollow. I will sweat as much as possible."
Having not consumed a drop of water since the previous day, Yoon Shi-yoon ate meals made from dehydrated ingredients and even attempted an extreme sauna dehydration method in a hot and humid sauna. He remarked, "Everyone does this," as he mentally prepared himself to endure 20 minutes, eventually collapsing from the effort.
By the end of the day, Yoon Shi-yoon's weight had dropped by 5kg, and his body fat percentage fell to 3.6%. The 'Movengers' on the show were astonished, commenting, "That's intense."
Yoon Shi-yoon expressed his desire to explore a sharp and decadent look that he hasn't shown before, captivating the camera with his transformed appearance.
