Singer Sung Si Kyung caused an uproar in so-called "photo spread chaos" with a drastically changed look. Responses are hot because it was the result of a grueling one-month diet.
Fashion magazine Esquire released Sung Si Kyung's photo spread and interview on its official channels on the 19th. The outlet said, "Sung Si Kyung, who stood in front of the camera for a photo shoot for the first time in six years," and explained that "he predicted a busy year with MCing, fan meetings, concerts and activities in Japan, and said he wants to continue showing his changed appearance going forward."
In the released photo spread, Sung Si Kyung looked truly "unrecognizably changed." Instead of the relaxed image he usually shows on YouTube and social media, he completed a sophisticated atmosphere with a suit and sharp eyes. In a shot where he sat perched on a chair staring at the camera, his slimmer jawline and more defined facial features stood out and drew admiration.
In another shot he maximized the advantage of his 186cm height with a dandy style pairing a shirt and tie, showing a "model force" that perfectly carries any outfit. In particular, after being chosen as a cosmetics model recently, he drew attention with a younger-looking appearance after successfully losing weight.
Sung Si Kyung candidly revealed the secret of this transformation. Earlier he said, "I became a cosmetics model and I thought I shouldn't be a nuisance," and added, "Even when I quit drinking and smoking for concerts I never lost weight, but this time I really had to." He went on to say, "I ate only eggs and sweet potatoes for a month," sharing the behind-the-scenes of his harsh diet and surprising readers.
He also joked, "These days I've become a cosmetics model and lost weight like crazy. A fat man can't be a cosmetics model, right?" and those around him responded with laughter saying, "Who calls Sung Si Kyung a man from nowhere?" He showed a down-to-earth side, saying, "I actually hear that a lot," and added jokingly, "Still, raw fish is good for dieting," continuing his characteristic cheerful banter, and his successful diet this time made the term "man from nowhere" disappear.
Meanwhile, Sung Si Kyung hinted at new changes, saying, "I'm making choices I wouldn't have made before." He said he casually enjoys daily life in areas such as Seongsu-dong and Garosu-gil, and plans to communicate with the public in more natural and varied ways.<
