Super Junior's Shindong opened up about his weight loss journey.
On the October 2nd episode of KBS2's 'Problem Child in House,' Shindong and Kyuhyun from the long-standing idol group Super Junior appeared to share their stories as they celebrate their 20th debut anniversary.
During the show, Shindong revealed his secret to losing 37kg (approximately 82 pounds) in just five months through an extreme diet.
He shared, "I went from 116kg to 79kg. Dieting was much more helpful than exercising," highlighting the importance of dietary changes.
Shindong detailed his diet plan, saying, "I mainly ate ssambap. I made rice balls with brown rice, added a tiny amount of stir-fried anchovies, dipped it in gochujang, and wrapped it in a leaf. I ate six of these."
He also tried the weight loss injection 'Wegovy,' famously used by Elon Musk, but found it ineffective. Shindong humorously recounted, "Even at a high dose, there was no change. The doctor said, 'You should feel full because it slows digestion,' but then added, 'Shindong, you've overcome Wegovy!'"
Additionally, Shindong surprised everyone by revealing, "I spent 14.49 million won (approximately $12,000) on just one food delivery app in a year. That's only one of the three apps I use."
