Super Junior’s Kangin Reveals His Diet Secrets

Super Junior's Kangin reveals the secret to how he lost 15kg.

At the MBC "Star Diving Show Splash" press conference held on August 21 at the MBC Dream Center, Kangin revealed the results of his diet, saying "I lost 15 kilograms (~33 pounds) in just 27 days." He continued, "These days, the popular thing to do is eat one meal a day, but I decided to fast instead. I didn't even let vegetables or water touch my lips, and of course flour. When I got really hungry, I would eat one strawberry a day," revealing the details of a shocking diet.

He also said, "Before I slept, I would empty my stomach and do cardio exercises, and didn't even leave the building" regarding his diet lifestyle. He also revealed the negative side effects of his weight loss, saying "In the end, I had gastrointestinal problems, and my face now looks a lot older than before. I definitely do not recommend this type of weight loss tactic. I mistakenly thought I should first shed the pounds before exercising, and this was the result. I even tried the lower-body bathing technique to lose weight, but it resulted in high blood pressure and dry eye syndrome. Now that I've lost the weight, I am no longer healthy."

"Star Diving Show Splash" is a sport reality show that started in the Netherlands, then moved on to the United Kingdom, Australia, France, and 20 other countries. Hong Yeo Jin, Lee Hoon, Yang Dong Geun, Clara, Ivy, Super Junior's Kangin, SHINee's Minho, EXO's Tao, and SISTAR's Soyoo will appear on the show. It is set to air its first episode on August 23.
