Netizens gushed over ATEEZ San's changed physique.

On a popular online community, a netizen created a post that shows the idol member's physical transformation.

Originally titled, "This man who was complexed about his slim body bulked up and became legendary", the post shows how San had gone from a slender figure to a more muscular figure with a much wider shoulder. 

The netizen who wrote the post stated, "Now, he eats well and works out, which has made him look even better. He also knows not to do too much, so the way he takes care of his body is impressive".

The below photos are shown as his before transformation pictures. 

Netizens reacted:

"I don't usually like guys with muscles, but Choi San-goon does it so well."

"His dance line got better as well ㅋㅋ"

"I used to hate men who put on muscle, but after I met San, I found that I kind of like them."

" Even before he got bigger, his waist was always small, so he looked fine… But it's good to see that he's been eating well and working out ㅋㅋㅋ"

"I think that his face and the shape of his face suit him more. He had a lot of boyish charm before, but he looks better now, and it's cool that he can take care of himself."

"He's looking much better."

"Aside from getting bigger, his face got sharper, and he really turned into a man."

"Omg he is so fine"

Hyun Bin is finally addressing the long-standing "ddongcha" (poop car) theory surrounding his character from My Name is Kim Sam-soon—and he's not holding back!

In an interview on the 19th with Star News, the beloved actor confessed, "I was wrong," responding to the reevaluation of his iconic role as Hyun Jin-heon from the 2005 hit drama. The "ddongcha" theory has been a subject of online debate for years, with many viewers critiquing Hyun Jin-heon’s character as overly arrogant and entitled.

Hyun Bin, who first rose to fame in My Name is Kim Sam-soon, took the time to reflect on the character that made him a household name. He shared, “I was just following the script; there were no personal opinions added to the character of Hyun Jin-heon. At that time, I knew Hyun Jin-heon was portrayed as a ‘bad boy,’ and the way it was expressed was different from today’s standards.”

With My Name is Kim Sam-soon now being re-released as part of Wavve's "New Classic" project, fans are revisiting the 2005 drama, and the character of Hyun Jin-heon is under fresh scrutiny. Director Kim Yun-cheol even admitted that the "prince on a white horse" and "bad boy" tropes that once worked in 2005 don’t quite match today's sensibilities, leading to edits in the 2024 version.

Hyun Bin humbly acknowledged his gratitude for his successful career and hit works, saying, "It’s wonderful and I am grateful to have so many hit works. I’ve been fortunate to work with amazing writers, directors, and actors. Thanks to them, I’ve received a lot of attention and love." He also shared a sense of humility, noting, “But I never know when that luck will come again."

Despite the dramatic shift in perspective on his character, Hyun Bin’s charm and dedication remain strong. Fans are eager to see him in his upcoming film Harbin (directed by Woo Min-ho), set to be released on the 24th.
