Former Baseball Star Yoo Hee-kwan Sheds 13kg with Wegovy: A Journey Beyond the 'Highs'

Former baseball player Yoo Hee-kwan has revealed that he lost 13kg using Wegovy, stating he has "overcome the highs."

On the upcoming October 25th episode of MBC's 'Radio Star,' Yoo Hee-kwan will showcase his chemistry with Hwang Jae-gyun, a former baseball player and his junior from middle school, bringing laughter to the audience. Yoo, who has entered the entertainment scene following his divorce from T-ara's Jiyeon, displays his seniority with playful banter, while Hwang contributes to the conversation by sharing insights into Yoo's playing style and records.

Yoo Hee-kwan debuted in 2009 and achieved 101 wins with the Doosan Bears. Known for his control and pace rather than speed, he led his team to a Korean Series victory in 2015 with 18 wins. Yoo was a key player in the 2015, 2016, and 2019 Korean Series victories, earning three championship rings.

During the show, Yoo humorously boasts about having "only three championship rings" in front of Hwang, who brought his own ring, eliciting laughter. He also shares a funny story about being considered a 'soft pitcher' despite his achievements.

Yoo captivates attention by discussing his unique training methods, which even top players like Ohtani haven't attempted. He shares the process and situations that led to his record-setting performances, prompting a flurry of questions from the hosts.

Embracing his role as a versatile entertainer, Yoo brings humor to the studio by reacting exaggeratedly when his appearance contrasts with that of fellow guest No Min-woo. He also reveals the backstory of his nickname 'Yoo Fox,' earned from his charming antics on a past dating show.

Yoo Hee-kwan's lively and self-centered talk can be seen on 'Radio Star' airing on October 25th at 10:30 PM.
