Hyungwon then shared his own concern about having chubby cheeks and expressed his desire to have a face without any fat. In response, Lee Dong Wook attributed his slimmer face to his age and mentioned that he lost the fat after returning from the military.

Lee Dong Wook, on the other hand, shared his personal experience, stating that he actually gained 16 kilograms during his military service.
Lee Dong Wook admitted that his weight gain was not healthy. He explained that he simply indulged in eating food from the cafeteria without exercising. The result was that the military uniforms provided to him no longer fit, forcing him to loosen his pants.
This revelation surprised viewers and highlighted the challenges actors face when it comes to managing their physique. Lee Dong Wook‘s honesty about his weight gain in the military adds to his relatability and shows that even celebrities struggle with maintaining their desired appearance.’
