Comedian Kim Jun-hyun opens up about his experience with a diet injection.

Kim Jun-hyun, Hwang Je-seong and Kim Hae-jun — the cast of the food variety show "Matitneun Nyeoksseukdeul" ("Tasty Guys") — appear as guests on the Saturday episode of MBN's "Kim Joo-ha's Day and Night."

The three share food-related anecdotes and trade candid revelations about each other's private lives in a lively exchange.

When host Kim Joo-ha asked whether there was any food he could not eat, Kim Jun-hyun said, "I'm still searching. There's nothing I dislike yet." He went on to say that he had tried a diet injection exactly once.

Kim said he had been taking supplements to manage his blood sugar levels when a doctor recommended he try the injection.

"I drank a glass of milk in the morning and had absolutely no appetite for food until the evening," he said, recalling the experience.

He also surprised the cast by revealing that even samgyeopsal — one of his favorite foods — had failed to excite him while he was on the injection.

Kim also shares updates on his theater and band activities, mentioning that he is preparing for a play titled "Neoreul Deulgo Ganda" ("I Carry You"), which opens Oct. 9.

In addition, Kim says he plays drums in a band called "Amutda Band," formed with Hong Gyeong-min, Cha Tae-hyun and others, and that the group has already wrapped concerts in Seoul and Busan. When asked how the band splits its earnings, he confidently said, "We divide it strictly equally" — before dropping an unexpected confession that drew laughter from everyone.
