He smiled silently. Under the sunlight pouring over the blue swimming pool, he was relaxed and playful. What the camera captured was not just a simple break. Even after losing weight, there was still the cheerful energy unique to Pungja.
Pungja shared his recent updates on the SBS entertainment program 'My Ugly Duckling' aired on the 13th. The episode depicted Pungja and Shinkiru heading to a vacation home in Hongcheon, Gangwon-do, owned by model Han Hye-jin.
From the first scene, Pungja's transformation after losing weight caught attention. In front of the swimming pool, with neatly arranged hair and a more relaxed smile, he drew the gaze. In the past, Pungja had caught 600 tadpoles while cleaning the pool here, but this time he wore a cheerful expression as if to say, "I will enjoy it without lifting a finger."
Then, on a large tube, Pungja played in the water with Shinkiru. As he laughed while cutting through the water, he brightened up at Shinkiru's joke, "It's an infinite pool." The sunlight reflecting off the water and his lighter movements blended perfectly.
After swimming, Pungja sat around the table and cautiously mentioned his weight change. He said, "I lost about 17kg," with a slightly shy smile. On the other hand, Shinkiru playfully said, "Should I try to lose 7kg this summer?" forming a light-hearted atmosphere between the two as news of their close friend Hong Yoon-hwa's 23kg weight loss was shared.
As the scene changed, the laughter continued. When Han Hye-jin revealed that her lowest weight was 59.8kg, Pungja couldn't hide his true feelings. He waved his hands and said, "Don't even listen to that," and cleverly responded, "I have an allergy to thin people." The cheerful energy was conveyed even beyond the screen.
After the lively conversation, laughter and confidence remained. Although he lost weight, his inherent confidence remained intact, and his presence became even stronger.
Meanwhile, Pungja is currently active in various broadcasts and advertisements. He continues to showcase his unique wit and friendly charm while balancing his YouTube channel and entertainment appearances.
