Are you still trying hard to shed the extra pounds from your Thanksgiving turkey? If so, worry no more. Actor and diet expert Lee Junki has the perfect solution for you – just stack your fridge with tofu and eat it three times a day and within two weeks, you’ll be 8 kg lighter!
Lee Junki is currently on the tofu diet to slim down for his new drama, Iljimae scheduled to air on SBS after The King and I in April.

Lee Jun Ki sel-cas it up
Lee Junki and Jung Kyong Ho are senseless fashion students
Joongi loses weight for drama role
Hmm I Sould Try It.
isn’t he “fit” enough?…..why lose more weight?!
As much I love tofu, I can’t imagine eating it three times a day, for how many weeks? I’ll barf tofu like the way demon-Regan does with green peas in The Exorcist.
Noo why does he have to diet? I was just beginning to see how hot he is…
Biologically it’s not a good thing to diet in this way.
YOU may face serious problems later.
My friend went on the tofu diet last yr and she got as anorexic as Song Yuri but I wouldn’t recommend this diet to anyone cuz you can’t just live on tofu. Just excercize and eat more fruits and veggies instead of starch.
I Have 2 Go On This Diet…
I’m FAT
ㅋㅋㅋ
hmmm … i wonder if that really is a tofu-blended drink? looks more like a jamba juice bananaberry to me! haaah!
tofu is disguting.
maybe i shud try it… XD
since i <3 tofu
tofu is nice BUT JUN KI DOES NOT NEED TO LOSE WEIGHT..T_T
Diet my ass.
Ah, my little Snowflake. So nice to see him at PopSeoul again. He’s such a sweet-face!
I’m at the beginning of “Time of Dog and Wolf” and it’s suuuuuuuuper excellent!
umm, what do u do with that tofu? do u cook with other stuff or do u just eat it raw?
Come on you guys. Stop with the frothing. It’s not like Jun Ki is doing this for HIMSELF. It’s for a MOVIE, as PopSeoul stated. He is an actor, you know.
Good grief. Actors lose (and gain) weight all the time for roles.
@ lalala
There are seriously TONS of ways you can prepare and eat tofu. It’s a wonderful food and very healthy. Personally, I love tofu ice cream.
It’s also highly unlikely that Jun Ki is LITERALLY eating nothing but tofu. Come on, you guys! Stop being so gullible.
Here you go:

Thanks Dumpling! and tofu ice cream? I never had that b4! anyway I thought u’re suppose to eat it raw that’s why i think it’s disgusting, but if u can make it with othe stuff then it’s goooood.
Can you imagine only having tofu for two weeks? Not only is that puke-worthy, it’s so unhealthy. It’s just a quick fix.
@ Kristen
Yep, tofu is healthy, but like you said… having nothing but tufo = unhealthy.
His diet is soooo 80’s when there were “____ only diet”
basically what he’s doing is using the Atkins diet to lose weight, like what he did with the chicken previously.
a high protein diet with zero carbs lets you lose weight fast. basically you could eat a hamburger steak 3 meals everyday and still lose weight if you forgo the carbohydrates.
not healthy though.
but if he really wants to lose weight, he should fry all those tofu with chili oil and lemon juice. HAHA!
out of interest… does he eat the tofu with any sauce?
dumpling … you will love ‘time between dog and wolf’! junki is such a good actor. he’s my absolute favorite right now!
Didn’t he already lose a lot of weight for The Time of Dog and Wolf? I don’t think he should diet at all. He looks fine the way he is now.
But than… Chris Bale lost roughly 54KG for his movie The Machinist…
errrs… didnt they say he got a good “waist line” in the king and the clown?? y lose more weight? o.0
arghh if he loses any more weight he would look like a skeleton.. somebody steal his tofu now
i hope he’s not planning on losing too much weight.
he’s fine already.
oppa!!! you dont need to lose weight!
you’re hot already!!!
LOL….
but he does look good in the picture…
@ Soju
I’m on the 4th episode now. I’m very impressed. It is such a good quality drama and not at all like the stereotype Korean dramas we have all seen and/or heard about. In the beginning of the story with the kids, I thought “little Jun Ki” looked a lot like the real Jun Ki, didn’t you? It’s nice when directors hire young actors who actually LOOK like the older actor they are supposed to be portraying. That kid did an EXCELLENT job. And he was so adorable. I just about died when he got whipped by his new dad and then his new mom broke down and took him in her arms, after she had been so cold and uncaring at first. That was so beautiful. I cried, yes I did!
Gosh, I could go on…it’s a damn fine show. Great directing, great acting from everyone involved (oh my God, when Jun Ki was at the restaurant and he realized that was the guy who killed his mom…his expressions and his angry tears when he covered his mouth with his hands to keep from screaming…I wanted to cry!), great story keeping me on the edge of my seat…
Aja, aja…Jun Ki! Fighting!
Oh God, he needs to stop worrying about losing weight and start gaining MUSCLE!!! I swear if he gets any skinnier, it will start taking away from his sex-appeal. I think ONLY Joo Ji Hoon looks decent that skinny, and that’s ONLY because I’ve gotten used to him. Lee Jun Ki has a nice physique and becoming that skinny will make him look sickly, whereas Joo Ji Hoon is already super tall, with a small frame, so his skinniness just looks lanky.
LJK, get MUSCLE! PLEAASEEEEE!!!!!! ~_~
Is it possible for him to get thinner?
I like him because unlike a lot of k-actors, he has a nice manly build (not that of a toothpick).
i thought he looked the hottest before he started losing weight left and right…
Yay~ a new Junki drama >.<
Tofu isnt that bad… Theres a lot of different Korean recipes to eat Tofu, so a Tofu diet is o.k.a.y. for me(-_-)\/
Dog and Wolf is FABULOUS,everyone watch it, please. Actual suspence!
how does he cook his tofu? does he just steam it? i’m curious cuz i wanna try it too.
@min a
you can cook tofu anyway you want.
cuz i think he cooks it anyway he wants and just eats it.
OMG! Is he about to bring back his feminine looks again?
I liked him in Time Between Dogs and Wolfs. He is a bit “meatier” there, and shed off his feminine looks.
in fairness, i love the taste of tofu, especially when cooking spinach and tofu soup.
first of all, u will lose weight if you eat nothing but tofu. but when you stop, that’s when u gain all that fat again. so this is a dumb diet tip. there’s no real way to lose weight other than EXERCISE and eat right. yeah, he’s a celeb, so he gotta lose weight for whatever reason, so this is a good tip for celebs who wants to lose weight w/in certain time period.
and random thought. i always read his name as JUNKY. who is this guy anyways?
lol @ junky!!! I thought the exact same thing the first time I read his name, but that was only due to a typo. Someone typed it as “actor Lee Junki” and I was like “what?” O_o
But @ the tofu comment, I think you can cook tofu like meat, and treat it as such, since vegetarians eat it in place of meat. I think soy products are often used as meat and dairy replacements.
what the heck?
why outta all the people
should Lee junki lose weight?
i think he’s good the way he is :]
WOW! That’s worth a try! YAY thanks Junki oppa!
Eat tofu three times a day for two weeks straight? No thanks…Surely, there must be other ways to lose weight. Come on, now!
He’s so fit, why does he have to go on a diet?!
oh, & tofu. -shivers-
Gross.
I’d die just eating tofu.
White colour, squishy thing.
Ew.
Wow..I shall give it a try..I hope this works..
tofu? just that? I don’t if I only eating tofu for 2 weeks I will 8 kg lighter! but why he do some diet? he is not fat at all!
0o0o I lurve tofu, but only when it’s cooked with fatty meat stuffs.
I find tofu tasteless and boring…Just eat in moderate and you will be fine and no need to diet
