Shindong reveals the truth

Popseoul! called it first!

We knew the ultimate secret for Super Junior’s Shindong’s weight loss, it was definitely the camera angles.

Recently, Shindong posted on his minihompy that he did NOT lose 16 kg in a month, rather, he lost about 10 kg within a two month period. It has now been 4 months to date with no exact count of how much weight he has actually lost. Probably because he has gained weight again.

The big question now is, why is he stating that now? It’s been about two months since the statement was released and only now does he retract it. And why is he even trying to lose weight anyway? Unless it was for a medical reason, most fans seem to like Shindong before his weight loss because it made him look like a cuddly teddy bear.

Oh well, seems like another star has fallen for the idea that skinnier is better, although we tend to disagree.

    he should lose weight for health reasons. its not good to be overweight.

  17. 18 sya38 October 15, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    shindong shud be losing weight for health reasons..
    wat i noticed was tat ever since he was on Vitamin and didnt pass the gate..he’s been losing weight..
    no matter wat it is…shindong is cute in anyway..
    love him..love SJ very much :)

  18. 19 Hyunjae October 15, 2008 at 3:04 pm

    LOL. He is losing weight for medical reasons.
    If someone tries to lose weight for reasons like, wanting to look more attractive, they wouldn’t be able to lose that much weight. My uncle’s a dietitian btw, so I’m not pulling this out of my ass.
    Kudos to Shindong for wanting to lose weight. It honestly isn’t healthy for him to be overweight when he dances so much. His heart can give out =/

    Anyway, Shindong’s still freaking awesome for making it this far without caring what other people thought about his physical appearance. Like it matters in the end ;D

  19. 20 Dovey October 15, 2008 at 3:18 pm

    Whether fans liked him or not for his chubbiness, I’d say he did it for reasons to make himself feel better about his self-image.

    “Oh well, seems like another star has fallen for the idea that skinnier is better, although we tend to disagree.”

    oh are u sure??
    if dats the case.. why do u alwaes pick on him then??

  22. 23 sunny October 15, 2008 at 6:10 pm

    I hope he doesn’t lose too much weight… The only reason I respect him is because he has the guts to be in an idol group and have an ‘unconventional’ appearance. Shindong is probably the only respectable member in Super Junior in my opinion. Yes, in my opinion. Don’t get pissed at me people -_-

  23. 24 goyenechea October 15, 2008 at 9:18 pm

    10 lbs in 2 mos. is actually a safe amount of weight to lose at that pace.

    ideally, people trying to lose weight should shed around 1-1.5 lbs a week.

    kudos to shindong for doing it the right (and healthy–i hope) way.

  24. 25 invisibelle October 16, 2008 at 12:33 am

    I like him either way, I think more importantly he looks best when his hair looks good. if shindong’s hair looks bad then it’s all over. heh.

  25. 26 irees October 16, 2008 at 6:20 am

    i liked shin dong the way he was before all these changes, cute and cuddly and WITHOUT A TATTOO.

  26. 27 amy October 16, 2008 at 10:20 am

    does it matter ? jeez

  27. 28 vanness77 October 16, 2008 at 12:11 pm

    shindong is a dancer, and it’s better for him to lose weight.

  28. 29 Fleep♄ October 16, 2008 at 7:51 pm

    skinny shindong is fail

  29. 30 Noodle October 17, 2008 at 1:45 am

    Maybe it’s his personal goal to lose weight.
    But yeah. Chubby ShinDong looks cooler.

  30. 31 Jane. October 17, 2008 at 2:28 pm

    Did you just say that you “tend to disagree”? Talk about being hypocritical. If you tend to disagree with weight loss and all that, then what about your recent article with Nam Gyu Ri? Lmao. People criticize him for wanting to lose weight, it’s a valid wish. So many people call him fat and say he ruins SJ so he can’t help but try.

  31. 32 marr October 18, 2008 at 3:12 am

    Arhahahahahahaha… when i finally got to “camera angles”
    oh god thats what i always believe in guys attempt to loose weight its just so hard when you’re a 24 hours hamburger eater well in case of aneroxie, its different when you puke it all out you dont find easy to swallow anything back in its effective,awesome, real fast-slim down but beware of later the effect its nowhere near nice. ouch.

  32. 33 marr October 18, 2008 at 3:35 am

    dude, still remembered in k-popped article when super junior won mtv asia thing about the local reporters views of overtoo crowd korean boyband takes out nothing -lol “that fat guy in the group people said he is so fat he eats up the other members” sht funny.

  33. 34 sandy,USA October 19, 2008 at 9:23 am

    awwww now he wont be the all mighty round one!!!! i liked him wayyyyyyyyyyyy before he lost all that weight!!! now i cant tell which one he is when they perform!!!!! but he does look pretty HOT now.

  34. 35 Jasmine* October 19, 2008 at 4:05 pm

    he would look better with his skinny self without that freaking BOWL haircut..thet ruins almost anyone’s face!

  35. 36 ZOMG! October 20, 2008 at 10:02 am

    wow!!i cant believe it!!he looks different but not cute neither ugly..

  36. 37 missyouloveyoumybabyyou October 26, 2008 at 9:54 pm

    why people always talking something bad about big size person? they also people that just like you.. just look at their talent, not their body size.. and for the people that do not know,, shidong oppa is the most important person in their group especially as the choreographer..

  37. 38 KingHeeMin November 15, 2008 at 12:46 am

    skinny or fat.. Shin Dong is still Shin Dong.. ^^
    yaha~
    waah! it makes me angry that other people are saying negative things about Shin Dong.. what’s wrong with being fat or a plus-sized person.. he has talent and we all know it.. he can choreograph a great dance.. ^^ he has choreographed a lot of dance.. specially Don’t Don! ^^
    ~~
    plus-size/d Shin Dong ~ cute! ^^
    skinny Shin Dong ~ too handsome! ^^

  38. 39 ashley December 3, 2008 at 2:14 pm

    i liked him before… cause he was happy with that teddy bear face… but now, i get a whole total different vibe comming from shindong… its like he wants to be sexy instead of cute.. but then i still love him..
