On May 24, Shindong uploaded several photos to Instagram along with the caption:
“It started out as just trying it out, but before I knew it, I had a full set of custom gear. The sport is really about the gear.”
The photos showed the idol dressed in an ice hockey outfit as he posed confidently on the ice rink.
Fans quickly zeroed in on her radically transformed appearance, with many noticing her sharper facial features and much slimmer frame following her major weight loss journey.
TV personality Haha also reacted to the update, leaving a comment asking: “Dong-ah, how do you lose so much weight?”
Shindong has openly discussed his struggles with weight fluctuations over the years.
Last July he appeared on the variety show KBS2 Problematic child at homewhere he revealed he had reduced his weight from 116kg to 79kg – an impressive loss of 37kg.
However, the singer later admitted that he experienced yo-yo weight gain just three months later.
He also said he tried the popular weight-loss injection Wegovy, but personally saw no significant results from the treatment.
Later in November, Shindong once again surprised viewers during a JTBC program after revealing that his weight had returned to double digits.
Fans continue to praise the idol not only for his physical transformation, but also for honestly discussing the challenges of dieting, regaining weight, and maintaining long-term health changes in the public eye.
