Tired of too many ads? go ad free now Recently, K-pop group Super Junior's member, Shindong, opened up about his weight loss journey during an interview. The idol revealed a shocking detail about his journey as well. Shindong talks about weight loss and losing weight On a recent episode of the popular variety show 'Problem Child in House', he was joined along with his fellow member Kyuhyun. When the topic of conversation between the guests and the hosts turned to weight loss, the Super Junior member made a shocking revelation in front of everyone. While talking about his diet for losing weight, he shared that in order to achieve the feat of going from 116 kg to 79 kg, he chose to only consume brown rice and paired it with a little bit of anchovies that were wrapped up in a lettuce leaf. Idol admits to using a weight-loss injection Shindong then admitted that he also tried a high dose of a popular weight loss injection called Wegovy. While talking about the process, he shared that even though he tried it with a lot of hope in mind, the injection remained ineffective and showed no real results after use. He shared, 'I received injections in stages. I tried up to 7 stages, but there was no effect. The doctor said, 'It might be hard to eat because you're not digesting well, right?' But I digested extremely well.' Instead, he ended up going through something called the 'yo-yo effect', which ended up making him gain more weight than he lost. Delivery app spending and more During the interview, the star shared that at one point, due to his eating habits, he spent almost 14,490,000 KRW on a food delivery app. When asked about how one can reach this amount as a single person ordering one dish, Shindong shared his philosophy by saying that if one orders a dish, there should be something to complement it, using stir-fried pork and soup/stew. The Super Junior member has always been open about his weight loss journey and has openly shared his struggles with the public.

Popular K-pop idol reveals losing 40 kgs in five months through intense diet and weight loss injection
Super Junior's Shindong recently appeared on KBS2's talk show Problem Child in House alongside fellow band member Kyuhyun to mark the group's 20th anniversary. During the chat, Shindong opened up about his dramatic weight loss and unintentionally sparked a debate online. His mention of popular weight loss drugs left many wondering if Western influence has fully taken over South Korea. While the idol admitted the injections didn't really work for him and led to the dreaded 'yo-yo effect,' he revealed it was actually intense dieting that did the trick. He even detailed what his plate looked like on a regular day. 'I went from 116 kg to 79 kg,' Shindong said, revealing he lost nearly 40 kg in just five months. He added that dieting helped him more than exercise ever did. When asked what diet he followed, the singer explained he mostly ate ssambap—small rice balls made of brown rice, a pinch of stir-fried anchovies, and a bit of gochujang (red chilli paste), all wrapped in a leaf. According to the K-pop star, he ate at least six of those a day, and it became his go-to meal.

'The doctor told me I should feel full because it slows digestion,' he said. 'But later, he added, 'Shindong, you've beaten Wegovy!'' Despite all his efforts, Shindong admitted to facing the yo-yo effect—gaining some of the weight back after the extreme diet. Experts have long warned that drastic routines like this can often lead to rebound weight gain. During the chat, he also shared how he once spent over 14 million won (around $12,000 USD) on just one food delivery app, and that's only one out of the three he regularly uses.

These GLP-1 drugs slow down how fast the stomach empties, resulting in the lost of appetite.. But there's still a lot of debate around them, especially when used by people who aren't clinically obese, not to mention the side effects, which remain a concern.
