Transgender Pungja (real name Yoon Bo-mi), a former internet broadcaster on AfreecaTV, recently shared her latest update, revealing that she has lost a significant amount of weight.

On the 26th, Pungja posted a selfie on her personal SNS with the caption, "I've seen many articles saying I've lost a lot of weight and look prettier. Thank you, but that's not true."

In the photo, Pungja is wearing a pink robe and sitting in a salon chair, with her face covered in white shampoo foam. She has her mouth wide open, roaring. Additionally, she is wearing a pink Goyang-shaped swim cap that fits tightly around her face, with her eyes squeezed shut. Pungja recently revealed that she successfully lost 37 kg, sparking attention.

However, Pungja faced public criticism in July last year over the controversy of trivializing menstrual cramps. At the time, while doing a mukbang (eating broadcast) with Shin Kiru on her personal YouTube channel "Pungja TV," she suddenly clutched her stomach as if it were full. Seeing this, Shin Kiru asked, "What was that reaction?"

In response, Pungja replied, "Menstrual cramps, menstrual cramps." When Shin Kiru said, "I thought transgender people don't have periods," Pungja burst out laughing while spraying the makgeolli (rice wine) she had been drinking. Furthermore, seemingly aware that her remarks had crossed a line, Pungja said, "I made one vulgar comment and got hit back tenfold."

Although such remarks trivializing menstrual cramps sparked significant controversy, Pungja has not yet apologized and has only quietly deleted the specific controversial segment. She also silently removed a reel she had uploaded to her personal SNS. On her personal SNS, she posted a reel titled "Pungja's That Day" with the caption, "No, I don't." The "that day" that Pungja refers to as "not happening" means menstruation.
