Super Junior member Shindong has openly shared an update on his weight loss, revealing that he received help from obesity medication.
Tuesday's episode of Salon de Rip, a talk-variety show on the YouTube channel TEO, featured comedian Jang Dong-min and Shindong as guests — both of whom appeared on the Netflix variety program Devil's Plan: Dead Again.
When host Jang Do-yeon remarked that Shindong had lost a significant amount of weight, Shindong acknowledged the change and said he had shed considerably more than when he appeared on the reality show Great Escape 3.
Shindong said he was on "day 444" of his diet and surprised everyone by revealing he had lost about 25 kilograms.
Shindong had previously lost 37 kilograms through a professional diet program. He also asked for a correction to a recently published article that had mistakenly reported his current weight loss as 37 kilograms — the figure from that earlier effort.
Shindong was candid about his methods. "A lot of people ask how I lost the weight — I got injections. I got help from a clinic. There's something good out there, so why not get help?" he said. He added that Wegovy had not worked for him but that Mounjaro had. "Wegovy didn't work. Mounjaro helped me," he said.
