Super Junior’s Shindong Opens Up About Yo-Yo Weight Gain and Weight Loss Injection Experience
Super Junior’s Shindong is speaking out about his weight struggles and the reality of dieting.
On a recent episode of KBS2’s Problem Child in House, Shindong revealed he dropped from 116 KG to 79 KG (about 255 to 174 lbs) through a strict diet of brown rice, anchovies, and lettuce wraps.
He also tried the weight loss injection Wegovy but said it was ineffective even at high doses.
“I tried Wegovy, but it didn’t work for me.”
Shindong admitted to experiencing the yo-yo effect after his extreme dieting, which caused him to regain weight.
Weight loss injections like Ozempic and Wegovy, originally for diabetes, are popular now for appetite control but remain controversial due to side effects and use by non-obese individuals.
The episode featuring Shindong’s story is already gaining attention for its candid insight into celebrity dieting struggles.
