On April 12, a video titled “[Special Preview Cam] Punghyanggo 2 Behind Story” was uploaded to the YouTube channel DdeunDdeun.

The clip features Lee Sung Min alongside Ji Suk Jin and Yang Se Chan, who appeared as guests. The trio reunited with Yoo Jae Suk to share behind-the-scenes stories of the variety show Punghyanggo 2, which aired from January to February.

Reflecting on the timing of the recording, Yoo Jae Suk expressed slight regret, saying, “We should have filmed this before the afterglow of ‘Punghyanggo 2’ faded.”

In another moment, Lee Sung Min humorously shared, “People kept asking if I bought a cat’s food bowl,” referring to reactions from those around him. Yoo Jae Suk added to the laughter by mentioning souvenirs, saying, “That handmade pencil Naeun didn’t seem to like it much.”

Fans who had been waiting for this lineup showed enthusiastic reactions after the preview was released, leaving comments such as “It’s back just when withdrawal symptoms were kicking in,” “I’m waiting for ‘Punghyanggo 3’,” “Thank you, I’ve been waiting for the behind-the-scenes,” and “How do we wait until Saturday?”

At the same time, many viewers couldn’t help but notice Lee Sung Min’s appearance in particular. Compared to his look in Punghyanggo 2, which was filmed late last year, he appeared significantly more gaunt.

Netizens expressed concern through comments like “He’s lost so much weight,” “Please take care of your health,” and “I was shocked by how thin he looks.” Some speculated that his weight loss may be due to his ongoing filming schedule for projects such as Ode to My Father 2 and Insiders.

Meanwhile, the episode of Pinggyego featuring the Punghyanggo 2 cast is set to be released on April 18 at 9 AM.
