Yo-Yo Weight Gain After 3 Months: Shindong Admits Wegovy Lost to His Cravings – Spent $10,000 on Delivery in a Year

Super Junior's Shindong recently shared some eye-opening stories about his diet journey on the KBS 2TV variety show 'Problem Child in House' ('Okmunah').

On the July 3rd broadcast, Shindong appeared alongside fellow member Kyuhyun and revealed that he had spent over KRW 14.49 million (approx. $11,000 USD) on delivery food in a single year, leaving everyone astounded. He added, "The craziest part is that this is just the cost from one of three apps I use."



Shindong confessed, "I've never been limited by the minimum order amount. I can't just eat stir-fried pork; I need to have a stew with it," explaining his habit of ordering multiple dishes at once.

He also shared his new approach to healthy eating: "I've learned to leave food unfinished. I used to force myself to eat everything," he admitted. "Now, I practice stopping when I feel full. When I was younger, I couldn't do that," he reflected. Shindong humorously noted, "Even if I plan to eat leftovers later, I end up ordering something new instead."

Shindong also recounted a time when he lost 37kg, dropping from 116kg to 79kg in six months. He said, "I focused much more on diet than exercise. I would eat about six wraps of brown rice and stir-fried anchovies per meal," highlighting his extreme dietary efforts.



However, the results didn't last. Shindong confessed, "I chose what made me happier. It wasn't about going back to my old habits, but I thought, 'I've lost this much, maybe I can eat a bit more,'" he rationalized, revealing that he experienced a rebound effect in just three months.

Additionally, Shindong shared his experience with the diet injection Wegovy. Despite increasing the dosage, he didn't feel a reduction in appetite. The doctor humorously remarked that his body "overcame Wegovy," leading to laughter in the studio over Shindong's insatiable appetite.
