Also, referring to soybean paste stew, he said, "I eat it when I'm not feeling well or after drinking wine. I like to boil soybean paste stew with rice and eat it. I try not to drink snacks when I drink. If I eat snacks, my abdominal muscles disappear." added.

He said that the exercise he is obsessed with these days is abdominal exercise. “I think I only filmed for about a year and a half. I am working hard again to find my muscles. I do arm, abs, and hip-up exercises as a whole.”

He said, "I can't go on a low-carb, high-carb diet when I'm filming, but after filming, I eat a low-carb, high-carb diet and eat chicken breast and vegetables in grams. I also do intermittent fasting. There are results that show that the longer you wait, the younger you become. Is that why?" He revealed the secret to his youthful appearance.
