Jung Jun-ha Shows Off Slimmer Look on 'Hangout with Yoo'

Jung Jun-ha recently showcased his slimmer physique on the popular MBC variety show 'Hangout with Yoo'.

In the episode airing on the 9th, Yoo Jae-suk and Haha presented Jung Jun-ha with an invitation to join the 'Insa Club' (a group for those who are not popular).

In response to the playful jabs about his appearance, Jung Jun-ha proudly stated, "I've lost 10kg in a healthy way. I started dieting because Jae-suk's comments made me lose confidence. I even ran 5km yesterday. Back when I was a model for 'Infinite Challenge', I lost 30kg in two months, but now I'm taking it slow. I have 47kg of muscle mass and even abs." Yoo Jae-suk, after checking his abs, humorously commented, "You look like Ma Dong-seok," but also advised, "You should eat less," playfully patting his stomach.

Jung Jun-ha was surprised to learn that he ranked second in sales for 'Infinite Challenge' figurines. He remarked, "Haha, why don't you know your own popularity? Over time, I realized that Jung Jun-ha isn't just someone who gets criticized. I think people bought them out of nostalgia," and expressed gratitude, saying, "It's rare to be second after Yoo Jae-suk in life."

Regarding his popularity, Jung Jun-ha boasted, "I said I'm the Byun Woo-seok of Gangnam Station. When I stand there, people ask to take pictures with me. Haha, you and I are on different levels," suggesting a popularity contest at Gangnam Station. However, Yoo Jae-suk warned, "Don't do that to Woo-seok," prompting Jung Jun-ha to immediately apologize, causing laughter.

When it was mentioned that Ji Seok-jin was eliminated from 'Insa Club' due to his popularity and appeared on 'Water Bomb', Jung Jun-ha quipped, "Is it a 70s-80s Water Bomb? If being popular means elimination, I'm popular too," expressing his confusion. However, upon hearing that Haha is both the host and a key member, he became more open to joining 'Insa Club'.

Jung Jun-ha revealed that he changed his flight tickets twice to appear on 'Hangout with Yoo'. In response to Haha's comment, "Don't lie to avoid looking pathetic," he confessed, "I need to succeed next year. My family is watching."

Amid Yoo Jae-suk's repeated teasing, Haha laughed and asked, "Why are you bothering him so much?" Yoo Jae-suk replied, "It's our 20-year banter," showcasing their genuine friendship. Jung Jun-ha expressed interest in joining 'Insa Club', advising, "Just choose the right people."

Meanwhile, Jung Jun-ha announced the release of the Japanese drama 'Salaryman Jung Manager', which he filmed with ATEEZ's Yunho, emphasizing that it has no connection to 'Infinite Company'.
