Singer and actor Park Ji-hoon, who is drawing attention for the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King," revealed the reason and process of losing 15kg.
tvN's entertainment program "YOU QUIZ on the Block" released a pre-release video on Tuesday with the message, "Losing 15 kilograms by eating apples I hate for my role. Park Ji-hoon's transformation seems to have been reborn as King Danjong."
In the released video, Park Ji-hoon said, "My goal was to show the painful process of the young king through weight loss."
Park Ji-hoon, who received an apology, said, "It was a time of pain and patience. It was getting really sensitive. I'm a person who loves eating so much, but if it wasn't for that process, I wouldn't have been able to express it this much," he said, adding, "Apples are the least favorite fruit among fruits. The reason why I chose the fruit I hate was because I thought that if I put the fruit I didn't like in my mouth, my appetite would disappear. "Shouldn't he apologize to me?" he laughed.
Meanwhile, "The Man Who Lives With The King" (director Jang Hang-jun) is a story about the village's young king Lee Hong-wi, who was expelled from the throne, and the village's Cheongryeongpo in 1457. It has surpassed 4 million cumulative audiences, continuing its relentless box office run.
Park Ji-hoon played the role of King Danjong Lee Hong-wi in the play, leading the center of the play with detailed character interpretation and expressiveness, and is loved by the audience as a "reincarnation of a single species."
"YOU QUIZ on the Block," starring Park Ji-hoon, will air on the 25th.
