Popular Male Idol’s Sudden Drastic Weight Loss Triggers Backlash

Recently, the VIP screening for the movie Michael was held in Gangnam.

In particular, Super Junior’s Shindong attended the screening and shocked the public during the photo wall.

His drastic weight loss captured the attention of the press and fans.

He looked almost recognizable with his smaller frame and permed hair.

Last year, he appeared on a variety show and revealed that he had lost 37 kg in 6 months. However, he ended up gaining it all back just three months later.

He then started using Wegovy, an injection used to lose weight. He stated, “I received the injections in stages and tried up to stage seven, but it didn’t work for me.”

However, last November, he appeared on a show and announced that he had succeeded in losing the weight.

Most recently, during the screening, his dramatic weight loss was more evident in full-body shots.

However, netizens felt that the rapid weight loss ruined his visuals.

살이 빠지니 얼굴 노화가 확생기네… 살빼지 말아야지 🤣

His face suddenly aged rapidly due to weight loss. He shouldn’t have lost it.

그냥 늙었는데? 근육없이 빼서 그런가 걍 얼굴이 축 처짐

He just looks old now? If you lose weight without muscle, your face just looks stretched out.

방시혁같음ㅁ
