Comedian Kang Jae-jun revealed the process of his yo-yo weight gain.

On the 13th, a video titled "Why Kang Jae-jun, who lost 32kg, experienced a yo-yo effect (Diet, lifestyle habits, meal plans, and exercise tips!)" was released on the YouTube channel With Shown.

That day, Kang Jae-jun stated, "Until a few months ago, my weight reached 101kg, but I have now aggressively lost it down to 93kg. If I fail to lose 20kg by December 31 this year, I will blow up my YouTube channel."

He continued, "I initially started this journey to regain my health, and many people have supported me while also criticizing me heavily. Since appearing on With Shown, I became synonymous with slow runners and a running evangelist, so when the yo-yo effect occurred, many were disappointed and angry. Feeling deeply sorry, I made an extreme decision."

He added, "I confessed about the yo-yo effect through my YouTube channel 'Wild Boar Runner,' and many negative comments followed. It seems many people were disappointed because I had encouraged others to lose weight together but then showed a collapsing state. After that, I reflected deeply. This wasn't started for others; it was for my own health, yet I felt I was abusing myself." He further noted, "Extreme obesity is a disease, and after much thought, I ultimately decided to take drastic measures."

Kang Jae-jun also revealed the cause of his yo-yo effect. He recalled, "I ran my first full marathon in Hawaii, attempting it despite failing to lose weight beforehand. Running at 90kg completely damaged my ankles, and they never recovered."

He continued, "Being unable to run led to overwhelming depression. It is quite depressing and frustrating when you can no longer run after having done so for a long time. As a result, I started drinking alcohol again, and bad lifestyle habits returned. My weight increased once more, exceeding 100kg. Just as I began to think 'this is a serious problem,' my legs gave out, prompting me to restart running."
