Sung Si Kyung Shocks With Weight Loss Transformation, Lost 10 KG In Two Months [22 lb]
Sung Si Kyung surprised fans with a dramatically slimmer visual, looking almost unrecognizable. His bold transformation from a “ballad emperor” to a “master of self-management” was revealed through a magazine photoshoot.
On the 19th, Esquire released photos of Sung Si Kyung standing in front of the camera for the first time in six years through its official channel. Introduced as “the starting point of a new beginning for Sung Si Kyung, who is expected to have his busiest year,” the photos show him completely shedding his previous warm and soft image.
What stands out most in this pictorial is clearly Sung Si Kyung’s facial features. After being selected as a model for a cosmetics brand, he reportedly began dieting and followed an extreme diet of only eggs and sweet potatoes for a month. As a result, he achieved a sharp jawline and defined nose bridge, completing a youthful visual that’s hard to believe is in his 40s.
In the released black-and-white photos, Sung Si Kyung enhances his intellectual charm by pairing glasses with a sophisticated mood. Sitting slightly tilted with his shirt partially unbuttoned while gazing at the camera, he shows a sexy and “cold handsome” aura that hasn’t been seen before.
His fashion is also bold. He wore a fitted gray shirt with a black tie, showing off a clean, slim silhouette. In particular, he styled high-waisted striped wide pants, boasting outstanding proportions even in full-body shots.
Through his YouTube channel, Sung Si Kyung said, “If I’m a cosmetics model, I can’t be a chubby middle-aged man, right? For concerts, I just needed to sing, so I never lost weight before, but this time I didn’t want to cause inconvenience, so I went on a strict diet.” This transformation, driven by his sense of responsibility as a model, is enough to be called a “standard of self-management.”
About his dieting method, he said,“I didn’t even include the one hour of walking and running cardio at night. During ‘Delicious Taste’ filming, I worked out three times a day, haha. For the first month, I mostly ate eggs, sweet potatoes, flatfish sashimi, and supplements.”
He continued, “I had lived as a chubby middle-aged man for too long, and at this age and weight, becoming a cosmetics model felt a bit shameless. I thought it was a good opportunity, so I tried to put in the effort.”
Meanwhile, continuing his rising momentum after this “visual peak,” Sung Si Kyung will serve as the MC of The Seasons: Sung Si Kyung’s Ear Boyfriend, which premieres on the 27th, aiming to captivate both visuals and ears at the same time.
