Singer Shown announced that he lost 5kg while participating in the Liberation Day charity marathon "815 Run."
On the 17th, Shown posted on his SNS: "I am sending a thank-you letter for 81.5km on August 15, 2026, and I have lost 5kg," along with photos.
He shared before-and-after weight comparison shots around the time of the "815 Run." Shown weighed 73.2kg early in the morning on the 15th before starting his run, and recorded 68.2kg at 3 p.m. that day after completing the 81.5km distance.
The photos revealed that Shown ran with a missing toenail.
Shown added, "I am grateful to be able to give my best. Thank you because 'someone has to do it.' I will never forget! It will go well, Republic of Korea!"



He also surprised fans by appearing to prepare for next year's "815 Run" immediately after finishing this year's event. Shown shouted, "D-362. 2027 '815 Run,' only 362 days left. See you soon! It will go well, Republic of Korea," while running along the Han River course.
Meanwhile, the "815 Run" is a charity marathon campaign that reflects on the meaning of Liberation Day, when the nation regained its light, and expresses gratitude to independence activists who dedicated themselves to the country. Shown has continued the "815 Run" with Habitat for Humanity Korea, an international non-profit housing welfare organization, since 2020, marking its seventh year this time.
After the "2026 815 Run" event, Shown announced on the 16th that "26 billion 4.82 million won 750 won raised through the '2026 815 Run' for the 81st anniversary of Liberation Day was donated to Habitat for Humanity to build homes for descendants of independence activists." He further stated, "Over seven years, running 81.5km seven times has resulted in a total donation of 10.6 billion won."
