K-Pop Stars Share Weight Loss Secrets and Hilarious Stories on 'Knowing Bros'

On the latest episode of JTBC's 'Knowing Bros,' aired on the night of the 3rd, K-pop idols including Lee Gi-kwang, Soyou, Sandeul, and Sung Han-bin took the stage as special guests, showcasing their dance and vocal talents.

Sung Han-bin shocked the hosts by revealing his past weight of nearly 100kg, earning him the nickname 'Chubby.' He shared his unique weight loss method, the 'perfume diet,' which involves using strong scents to suppress appetite. Soyou added her own experience, agreeing that strong smells can indeed make one feel nauseous and deter eating.

Sung Han-bin also humorously admitted to a past fib about being a climbing athlete, clarifying that it was his sister, Sung Han-ah, who is the actual athlete, as he was too heavy to pursue the sport.

Kim Shin-young, newly returned as a regular member, shared her own weight journey, having once slimmed down to 44kg but recently gaining weight again. She joked about her new nickname, 'Charlie and the Noodle Factory,' referencing her resemblance to the Oompa Loompas from 'Charlie and the Chocolate Factory,' bringing laughter to the set.

During the show, Kang Ho-dong asked if he could achieve a physique like Sung Han-bin's, to which Soyou humorously denied. Kim Hee-chul teased Kang Ho-dong about his accent, suggesting he was imitating Yang Sang-guk, leading to a playful exchange.

Veteran idol Lee Gi-kwang shared exciting news about his group, revealing that they can now use the name 'Beast' again, but have chosen to continue as 'Highlight' based on the members' decision.

Sandeul brought humor by retracting his 'duck' nickname after comparing it to Kim Young-chul's jawline, while Soyou impressed with her dedication to fitness, having lost 20kg in six months for a revealing outfit, strengthening the bond among the guest idols over their shared weight loss experiences.
