[Sportschosun Kim So-hee] Rapper and actor Swings has revealed that he was prescribed an obesity treatment and shared his latest weight-loss update with his trademark upbeat humor.
On the 11th, Swings posted an update on his social media about his efforts to lose weight.
He said, "I got Mounjaro today because I want to stop blaming the world," revealing that he had recently been prescribed the obesity treatment. Even after deciding to diet, however, he could not hide his love for mukbang, drawing laughs.
Swings wrote, "But I ate the same as usual today," and added, "I'm just so sad, so I guess I'll have to eat four Big Macs right now." He then joked, "Why do you keep stressing me out and making me eat burgers?" showing off his signature playful grumbling.
But the situation changed just one day later.
The next day, Swings returned to social media and said, "Does Mounjaro really work? For the first time in two years, I skipped both breakfast and lunch. I'm not hungry." He shared the surprising change.
He still managed to make people laugh by joking, "Oh no, what if McDonald's goes out of business because of this? I'm worried," and, "Should I order just five and force myself to eat them?"
Fans also reacted with amusement, leaving comments such as, "At this point, shouldn't he get an ad deal?" "His lines are funnier than the medicine," "It feels like reading a diet diary," "Was Swings always this much of a comedian?" and "Don't lose weight, just keep making us laugh forever."
Meanwhile, Swings appeared on SBS's "Uh, but Like, Seriously!" in March and said that he currently weighs 100 kg. At the time, he candidly admitted to regaining weight after losing it, saying, "It took me a year and a half to lose it, but it didn't take long to gain 30 kg back."
