"After losing 14kg, pull-ups have become easy."
Lee Hong-ki, the vocalist of the band FT Island, has regained his prime appearance by losing 14kg for a musical role. He expressed satisfaction with his significantly lighter body after the diet.
In a recently released video on online communities and social media, Lee Hong-ki showcased a sharp jawline and distinct facial features, contrasting with his past friendly image. During interactions with fans, he appeared with a noticeably slimmer face, surprising viewers. His sharpened jawline exuded a sharper vibe.
Lee Hong-ki revealed that this weight loss was a decision for embodying the character in the musical 'Sugar'. He shared, "I started the diet for the role, but during the process, I realized I had been consuming a lot of unnecessary food." He also added that he was surprised he could slim down this much.
Especially when fans expressed concern over his rapid weight change, Lee Hong-ki reassured them, saying, "After losing weight, my body feels refreshed and light." He expressed satisfaction with his health, stating, "I can now easily perform pull-ups that were difficult before." However, he clarified that he has no plans for further weight loss and intends to maintain his current weight healthily.
Lee Hong-ki made a bold transformation by taking on the role of the cross-dressing man 'Joe (Josephine)' in the musical 'Sugar', which concluded successfully on the 22nd. In this work, based on the classic film 'Some Like It Hot', he cleverly portrayed a character infiltrating a female band, proving both his singing and acting abilities.
Meanwhile, after successfully completing the musical schedule, Lee Hong-ki announced his continuous activities. He will hold his first solo fan meeting 'Onggi Jonggi' in Korea on March 7, followed by a group fan meeting 'Wudang Tangtang FT Office' with FT Island, which is being held after 10 years, to continue precious interactions with fans.
