Super Junior's Ryeowook spoke about his pre-debut diet.
On the 16th, a video titled 'Cartel All Come In. Deokbabjip No. 2 Branch EP.3' was uploaded to the YouTube channel 'Saego_F5'.
In the released video, TVXQ's Choi Kang-min, Super Junior's Ryeowook, and SS501's Kim Kyu-jong met and shared memories from that time.

That day, Ryeowook chose doenjang-jjigae, a dish soaked in tears. Ryeowook recalled, "Before joining SM, I entered through singing, so I didn't know much about being an trainee. I didn't know how to manage my body either, so I just ate what I normally ate—tteokbokki, tangsuyuk, jajangmyeon—and then came to SM, where everyone was already thin."
He continued, "Woo Ri (CEO) was the Super Junior manager at that time. He said, 'Ryeowook, from today on, you can only eat doenjang-jjigae.' While everyone else was eating jajangmyeon and such, I was the only one eating doenjang-jjigae. It was too watery, so I couldn't eat much. That's how I lost weight."
Choi Kang-min asked, "How long did you eat that?" Ryeowook replied, "For one or two months. I joined SM in September and debuted in November. So, exactly two months."
When asked, "How much weight did you lose?" Ryeowook said, "I probably lost between 8kg and 10kg. You don't need Mounzo for this. Don't use Mounzo for something like this. This is enough," eliciting laughter.
