On April 13, a video titled “AKMU Coach? Diet Tips? | Coach Mung’s Unrequested Q&A with AKMU’s Princess Suhyun” was uploaded on the YouTube channel “Mung Coach.” In the video, trainer Hwang Myung Gyu, who worked closely with AKMU on both exercise and diet, answered various questions related to weight loss.
When asked whether he would continue filming workout vlogs with AKMU, Hwang responded, “If Suhyun wants to, it would always be my honor. I’m always open. At this point, we’ve become like family, so I think we’ll keep going.”
Regarding ways to control cravings, he explained, “If you only tell people to endure hunger, they’ll end up secretly eating unhealthy foods. Instead, it’s better to guide them toward better food choices.”
He added, “Another method is to eat foods with low nutritional density but in larger amounts. For example, chocolate is small but very high in calories. On the other hand, vegetables have low density, so even if you eat a lot, most of it passes through the body without being heavily absorbed.”
Lee Suhyun agreed, saying, “Isn’t that the method we sometimes use? Eating a lot of steamed vegetables?” Hwang confirmed, “Even back then, Suhyun ate less than she does now, but she didn’t suffer from stomach pain due to acid. Eating steamed vegetables helped her endure hunger. I recommend steamed vegetables or salads.”
Hwang also revealed that he played a role in helping Lee Suhyun overcome a difficult slump that led to binge eating. “When I first met her, she was very different from how she is now. She seemed to lack motivation and looked somewhat withdrawn, following Chanhyuk’s lead,” he said.
Lee Suhyun admitted, “I didn’t have confidence back then.” However, Hwang shared his determination, saying, “I had confidence. I thought I needed to change her life, so I decided to give it my all.”
He even accompanied Lee Suhyun on major schedules, including trips to Jeju Island and the Santiago pilgrimage route.
Recalling that time, Lee Suhyun said, “When I first met him, I had no energy or willpower. But the way he looked at me was so full of life—his eyes were sparkling with conviction that he would change my life. Even though I didn’t have much determination at the time, I felt like I could achieve something by relying on his strong will.”
