[EPN Enpinow reporter Go Nari] Singer Sung Si-kyung turned heads with a striking new look after losing weight, catching Lee So-ra off guard.
On the May 3 episode of MBC’s Sora and Jingyeong, Lee So-ra and Hong Jin-kyung were prepping for an English interview with a Paris-based agency and invited Sung Si-kyung to be their one-day English teacher.
Seeing his new appearance, Lee So-ra couldn’t hide her surprise, asking, “Why did you lose so much weight?”
Sung Si-kyung explained that starting work as a cosmetics model prompted him to get serious about his physique. “They chose a middle-aged man as a model, so I couldn’t just stand by,” he said. “While I’m modeling, I’ll pay attention to my appearance.”
Lee So-ra admitted, “Even last year I couldn’t have imagined appearing on this show,” and opened up about her anxieties about aging and her decision to take on the Paris runway challenge.
Sung Si-kyung offered warm encouragement, telling her, “You have a truly special, almost ‘older-sister’ kind of beauty. If you’d been born now, you’d get even more recognition.”
Sung Si-kyung said he lost 10 kg (about 22.0 lb) over the past two months, dropping from 95 kg (about 209.4 lb) on Jan. 6 to 85.3 kg (about 188.1 lb) on March 16.
He said he focused on exercise and diet. Last month he described his regimen: “In the first month I ate only eggs, sweet potatoes, flounder sashimi, and supplements.”
On SBS’s Running Man, he also revealed his strict approach to diet, saying he invested ₩600,000 (about $450) in a flounder-based meal plan over the past two months.
