Popular K-Drama Actor Confesses Reason For His Sudden Weight Gain

Yeo Jin Goo’s dramatic bulk-up has been the talk of the internet for months. Fans noted that he has become even bigger than Kang Ho Dong, who is known as one of Korea’s most popular comedians.

Recently, YouTube channel Workman released a video titled “Yeo Jin Goo Has Become Three Times Bigger Than Kang Ho Dong.” During the episode, fellow actor Um Tae Goo asked if Yeo was only focusing on workouts. He was amazed that Yeo managed to bulk up through exercise alone. The answer was just the sheer amount of time he puts in at the gym.

Yeo is also blessed with a body type that forms muscles easily.

“These days, I mainly focus on weight training. When I work out for a long time, it’s about three hours, otherwise around two. I’ve always gained muscle easily since I was young, but even I didn’t realize how big I’d gotten. I don’t check the mirror while working out, but when I was promoting The Great Escape and stood next to Ho Dong hyung, I realized I had grown way too big. That’s when I thought maybe I should adjust my proportions a little.”

Yeo first shocked fans back in July when his appearance alongside Kang Ho Dong in TVING’s The Great Escape: The Story showed off a physique that rivaled the 109kg star. More recently, photos of him went viral once again, leaving fans surprised by his fuller frame and powerful build.

Despite the chatter, many fans praised Yeo Jin Goo for his dedication to fitness, noting that his new image makes him look even more charismatic and mature. You can read more about his weight gain below.
