Shindong? More like Slimdong!

The Super Junior member flaunted his incredible weight loss on Instagram earlier today after following a 5-month program with weight loss center Juvis.

He wrote on Instagram [as translated in English], “I've been on a diet!

“[My] immunity is getting better and I feel very healthy!!! But… really… scary… Do you remember me at that time? I don't remember it well.

“But this time, I will try hard to maintain my weight and figure.”

Based on Shindong's post, he has already lost around 37 kilograms from his original weight of 116.

He started the weight loss program in Juvis back in October 2019 where he announced that he would be focusing on losing weight for health reasons.

Shindong is said to have decided to do the program to continue his career as a member of Super Junior. He had been suffering from continued weight fluctuations from trying different diets, and he shared that he has been finding it harder to dance on stage as his overall level of physical activity has decreased.

He stated in an interview, “I've been on a lot of diets, so many that I could say that I've tried all of them.

“I was recently at my heaviest due to weight fluctuations and I wasn't sure if I could lose this weight on my own so I decided to get professional help.”

Shindong added, “I've been eating a balanced diet with three meals a day and seeing the weight fall off even without exercise, I realized why I had been failing at my other diets. Through AI analysis, I was able to understand the state of my body and get professional consulting, and it's so interesting and fun to watch my health improve through data.”
