Singer Sung Si-kyung has been making headlines by revealing his drastically changed appearance after undergoing a strict diet to fulfill his responsibilities as a cosmetics model.
On the 26th, a video featuring Sung Si-kyung as a guest was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Hello, This is Choi Hwa-jung.' In the video, he appeared noticeably slimmer than usual, surprising the staff and viewers. His sharp jawline and defined features caught everyone's attention.
Host Choi Hwa-jung expressed her admiration for Sung Si-kyung's changed appearance, saying, "Why are you so thin? You look so handsome that it's almost unfamiliar." In response, Sung Si-kyung honestly stated, "I lost weight because I became a cosmetics model," revealing the decisive reason for his diet.
Sung Si-kyung recalled that when he received the offer to be a cosmetics model, the reactions around him were filled with laughter, and he admitted that he initially had doubts. However, he decided to lose weight, thinking, "Since I was chosen as the advertising model, I shouldn't be a burden to the brand." He added that he strictly controlled his diet by only consuming eggs and sweet potatoes for a month, showcasing both his struggles as a foodie and his professional spirit.
He mentioned that while he has quit drinking and smoking before concerts to take care of his voice, he had never lost weight for the sake of weight loss. This was because he believed that audiences come to hear him sing, not to see his appearance. However, he seems to have made an unusual decision this time, judging that the visual aspect is important for his cosmetics model activity.
In response, Choi Hwa-jung served a vegetable-filled sukiyaki for Sung Si-kyung and praised him, saying, "You really look beautiful now." She also mentioned that his activities in Japan and the public's love and interest seem to have motivated him to lose weight.
After successfully losing weight, Sung Si-kyung is now showcasing a sharper jawline and warm visuals, receiving enthusiastic responses from fans. Known as a representative foodie in the entertainment industry, his difficult decision to adjust his diet highlights his authenticity as a cosmetics model.
