News has emerged regarding the drastically different recent updates of 2nd generation male idols.

Shin-dong of the group Super Junior and Nichkhun of 2PM are drawing attention for their body changes that are the opposite of their past appearances.

On the 11th, Shin-dong attended the VIP screening of the movie 'Michael' held at Seoul Gangnam-gu Megabox COEX, showing a significantly slimmer figure on the photo wall.

Dressed in a black suit with wavy hair, Shin-dong showcased a sharply defined jawline and an exceptionally slim physique. His weight loss was so successful that he appeared no different from the slender members of Super Junior, Eunhyuk and Leeteuk, who attended with him.

Shin-dong had repeated cycles of dieting and yo-yo effects for about 20 years since Super Junior's debut in 2005, but this year he revealed that he has started using the diet injection 'Wegovy'. Previously, Shin-dong stated, "I lost 37kg over five months, but it only took three months to regain the weight."

In a July broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Problem Children Are Coming!', he said, "As soon as Wegovy came out, I started using it and even reached the 1.7 dosage level, but there was no change. When I went to the hospital, the doctor seemed puzzled, saying, 'You must feel full because your digestion isn't working well?' I explained, 'No, I'm fine. Even if I eat a lot, I don't feel full.' The doctor then exclaimed, 'Shin-dong has defeated Wegovy.'"

After Wegovy proved ineffective, Shin-dong began posting photos on social media in February showing his successful weight loss, revealing his transformed appearance. Since then, he has maintained his slimmer physique for five months up to the present.

In contrast, Nichkhun of the group 2PM, known as the 'Thai Prince' for his sharp features and distinct facial structure, has recently undergone a change to a warmer, rounder appearance, surprising some fans.

Recently, 2PM's official YouTube channel uploaded a video titled 'Three Guys Living Together in One House!? Audio-Only Dwellings: A No-Gap Dorm Life Story'. In the video, 2PM members Jang Wooyoung, Jun.K, and Nichkhun decided to try living in a dorm together after a long time.

Nichkhun appeared with a blurred jawline and a significantly heavier appearance compared to his past. He was dressed casually in a hoodie, jeans, and a cap.

When Jun.K appeared, the contrast between him and Nichkhun became evident. Although Jun.K had come to live in the dorm, he wore thick-rimmed glasses and a coat, presenting a look similar to a date outfit.

Nichkhun appeared as part of the full 2PM lineup on the September 2023 broadcast of KBS 2TV's 'Hong Kim Dong Jeon', announcing his plans to advance into Hollywood. He also maintained a slim appearance during overseas performances in 2024, but has recently undergone a drastic change.
