In the ENA entertainment program 'Choihwa Jung and Kim Ho-young's I Missed You,' Joo Won showcased his strict self-management.
In the 8th episode of the ENA entertainment program 'Choihwa Jung and Kim Ho-young's I Missed You,' which aired on the 27th, actor Joo Won appeared as a guest and shared his special self-management secrets.
That day, Joo Won said, "I don't eat much rice. I haven't eaten much since my broadcast debut, other than home-cooked meals. But the only place I've allowed myself to eat is here," introducing a favorite restaurant that the whole family enjoys that he has been going to for 10 years.
While waiting for a single menu item, Choi Hwa-jung revealed that Joo Won gifted a rice truck, confessing, "You called the rice truck. Usually, when a rice truck comes, it feels like a Korean buffet, but a hamburger truck came. The staff went crazy," but also revealed, "The important thing is that he doesn't eat."
Joo Won explained, "At that time, I couldn't eat," but Choi Hwa-jung retorted, "Why couldn't you eat? We were shooting together, and you didn't eat," in response to which a surprised Kim Ho-young asked, "What did you eat then?" Joo Won replied, "I just had chicken breast, sweet potatoes, and salad, and I would take them around and eat."
In particular, Joo Won has been rigorously managing himself since his broadcast debut. He opened up saying, "I can't say this is a good method, but back when I did the musical 'Spring Awakening,' I weighed over 90 kg."
He continued, "But then I did 'Bread, Love and Dreams.' When I did 'Bread, Love and Dreams,' I was 65 kg. So, it's not possible to debut on broadcast weighing over 90 kg. I had to lose weight, and the best method for me at that time was cutting carbohydrates. That's when it all started," he revealed about the reasons behind his diet.
Despite being 185 cm tall, Joo Won started his broadcast debut at 65 kg. Kim Ho-young asked, "Isn't there something you give as a reward on a cheating day?" To this, Joo Won said, "On cheating days, I go to places like this," referring to his favorite traditional Korean restaurant.
Meanwhile, during the meal, Choi Hwa-jung asked, "When you go on a date with your girlfriend, do you eat when you go to a restaurant?" Joo Won replied, "I sometimes don't eat, but if I do, I skip my workout for that day and just sleep," revealing his obsession with diet management.
Hearing this, Kim Ho-young said, "Don't you feel bad in a relationship? Because she doesn't support you," and Choi Hwa-jung joked, "Where is it enough to go together? I would enjoy it more eating both dishes myself."
