Shin Dong Hee, a diet that spent 30 million won on delivery fees in a year… 37kg
Super Junior's Shin Dong Hee appeared on 'Jeon Hyun Moo's Plan 4' and revealed the secret to his 37kg weight loss and an anecdote about a conflict with member Yesung.
Super Junior's Shin Dong Hee confessed to having an extraordinary appetite, revealing that he once spent 30 million won on a single delivery app in just one year. Appearing as a guest on MBN and Channel S's 'Omniscient Interfering View 4' (Jeon Hyun-moo's Plan 4) broadcast on the 24th, Shin Dong Hee continued his candid storytelling while dining with Jun Hyun-moo and Kwaktube at a famous restaurant in Hapcheon, Gyeongsangnam-do.
The reason behind the 30 million won delivery app expenditure is 'obesity genes'
Shin Dong Hee revealed that he settles most of his meals with delivery food. While jokingly asking, "Doesn't everyone use about three delivery apps?" he confessed that his annual spending on one specific delivery app reached 30 million won. When Kwaktube asked about the cause of his weight gain, Shin Dong Hee replied, "I don't eat as much as you'd think, but I think I really have obesity genes."
He also mentioned eating habits formed during his childhood. Shin Dong Hee recalled, "Because my family's financial situation was difficult when I was young, it became a habit to eat a large amount of rice with just one piece of meat. I was even surprised when I saw my friends' rice bowls because they were so small. In our house, we ate rice out of soup bowls." He then joked, "My mom and dad ruined me." He added specific details about his palate, noting that while he doesn't enjoy flour, ramen, bread, hamburgers, or pizza, he does eat chicken.
Recently, after using the obesity treatment Wegovy without seeing significant results, Shin Dong Hee challenged himself to a diet by changing his lifestyle, losing 37kg in five months. He practiced a routine that included fasting after 10 PM, eating at set times, stopping late-night snacks, and walking more than 10,000 steps a day. He also mentioned that he enjoys ice hockey every weekend to maintain his weight. Shin Dong Hee's mukbang continued with local black pork stir-fry, braised short ribs, and even '1++ No. 9' Hanwoo beef worth 19 million won, which they tasted in Hapcheon.
The story of nearly getting into a 'fight' with Yesung during his diet
An anecdote about a conflict with member Yesung during his dieting process was also revealed. At the time, Shin Dong Hee, who was sensitive due to his diet, was eating an 'idol sandwich' at a music show filming site. The trigger was a single comment from Yesung: "Are you eating again?" Shin Dong Hee recalled the situation, saying, "Thinking about it now, it wasn't a big deal, but I was so furious back then," and mentioned that he snapped back at Yesung by saying, "Are you crazy?"
The scene turned into a sea of laughter at Shin Dong Hee's confession that he gained courage because he thought he could win against the slim Yesung. At the time, the members were in an atmosphere of watching and enjoying rather than stopping the fight, and the situation was only settled when the manager arrived.
The number one fighter in Super Junior is Siwon
He also assigned specific rankings to the fighting hierarchy within Super Junior. Shin Dong Hee picked Siwon, a Taekwondo black belt with boxing experience, as the overwhelming number one. He then placed himself and Donghae, who learned boxing, in the 2nd and 3rd place range. On the other hand, he pointed to Ryeowook as the last place. He concluded his story by imitating Ryeowook's unique 'cat punch' motion, saying, "Ryeowook seems like the type to just pinch and bite you."
Meanwhile, 'Omniscient Interfering View 4' is a program where Jun Hyun-moo and Kwaktube film street-side food documentaries, and Season 4 began on the 3rd following its first broadcast in February.
"Jeyuk is my menu" Shin Dong Hee's unrestrained wit
When asked about his food preference, Shin Dong Hee answered "Jeyuk (spicy pork stir-fry)" without hesitation. To Kwaktube's question of whether anyone around him knows his eating habits, he replied, "Even my mom doesn't know my eating habits." Regarding the use of delivery apps, he joked, "Doesn't everyone have at least that much?"
