Park Seo-jin is embarking on a harsh fasting diet.
In the upcoming episode of KBS 2TV ‘Salim Nam Season 2’ (hereafter ‘Salim Nam’), Park Seo-jin will start a fasting diet to escape the yo-yo effect.
Five months after his body profile shoot, Park Seo-jin shows a noticeable weight gain. MC Baek Ji-young, who has been watching Park Seo-jin for a long time, also comments, “He looks swollen overall. His old face is visible,” making his change palpable.
Confronted with the yo-yo effect, Park Seo-jin calls his stylist, who knows his body shape changes best, for a self-check. The stylist reveals, “You’ve gained a lot of weight. Didn’t your pants rip at one point?” which brings laughter.
On the other hand, his younger brother Hyo-jung, who used to weigh 85kg, lost weight to 72kg during the body profile shoot and has been steadily losing weight over the past five months, surprising everyone with the change in his numbers. Encouraged, Seo-jin checks Hyo-jung's weight but is taken aback by the unexpected result, while Hyo-jung urges Seo-jin to diet more.
Stunned by the yo-yo effect and motivated by Hyo-jung, Park Seo-jin declares, “There’s no turning back now,” and starts an extreme fasting diet. Holding his hungry stomach, he goes running and watches others eat to distract from his hunger, continuing the harsh fasting. Despite Hyo-jung’s worried nagging that “You should diet while eating something,” Park Seo-jin insists, “Nothing is better than fasting when you need to lose weight quickly. I’ve never failed,” and refuses to eat until the end.
On the third day of his fasting diet declaration, Park Seo-jin heads to a jjimjilbang (Korean sauna) with Hyo-jung to detox. That day, while enduring with just water, Park Seo-jin struggles, saying, “My stomach hurts so much. The world is spinning.” Hyo-jung, worried about Park Seo-jin reaching his physical limits, leads him to a barbecue place, and ultimately, Park Seo-jin loses his rationality and heads towards the meat, leaving his diet behind.
Will Park Seo-jin's fasting diet be successful? The outcome can be confirmed through the broadcast.
