On May 24, Shindong uploaded several pictures to Instagram alongside the caption:
“It started as just trying it out, but before I knew it, I had a full customized equipment set. Sports really are all about the gear.”
The photos showed the idol dressed in full ice hockey gear while confidently posing at the rink.
Fans quickly focused on his dramatically transformed appearance, with many noting his sharper facial features and much slimmer frame following his major weight loss journey.
Television personality Haha also reacted to the update, leaving a comment asking: “Dong-ah, how are you losing so much weight?”
Shindong has openly discussed his struggles with weight fluctuations over the years.
Last July, he appeared on KBS2 variety show Problem Child in House, where he revealed that he had reduced his weight from 116kg to 79kg — an impressive 37kg loss.
However, the singer later admitted that he experienced yo-yo weight gain only three months afterward.
He also shared that he tried the popular weight-loss injection Wegovy but personally did not see significant results from the treatment.
Later in November, Shindong once again surprised viewers during a JTBC program after revealing that his weight had dropped back into double digits.
Fans continue praising the idol not only for his physical transformation but also for honestly discussing the difficulties of dieting, weight regain, and maintaining long-term health changes in the public eye.
