SHINee Key Diet Plan: Here's How He Lost Over 20 Pounds During Previous Promotions
During his appearance on "Song Euni, Kim Sook's Sisters Radio" back in December 2018, SHINee Key revealed his diet plan that helped him lose 10 kg (22 pounds).
One radio listener sent a message to the radio show asking the K-pop idol how he lost weight for SHINee's promotions when the members usually had to wear tight outfits.
Key responded that his diet was difficult. He explained that he gains weight very easily and that he lost weight during SHINee's activities as he was upset about not being able to fit into the clothes provided to them.

"When the clothes didn't fit, our stylist would tell me, 'It can't be helped. You should wear one size larger.' That was very uncomfortable so I lost weight," the singer shared.
SHINee Key then revealed that his diet plan for a year involved not eating any refined carbohydrates.
"I didn't eat any refined carbohydrates for one year. I didn't even go near bread or rice. Once I did that, I began to lose weight," the idol stated.
The "Replay" singer then shocked the hosts by mentioning that he lost 10 kg and has since been maintaining his weight for three years. This means he began to shed some pounds in 2015.
