Shocking transformation: Super Junior’s Shindong revealed dramatically slimmer visuals after reportedly losing about 37 kg (81.6 lbs), dropping fresh travel photos that fans say made him “almost unrecognizable.”
On the 22nd, Shindong posted several photos on his Instagram with the caption, “Food, coffee, sightseeing, lying down! Had a great rest. The end.” The images show him during a recent trip to Beijing, China.
In the photos, Shindong enjoys a relaxed itinerary hopping between hot eateries and tourist spots. Even in the laid-back vacation vibe, what stood out most were his noticeably slimmer frame and sharper features. Unlike the warm, cuddly image many remembered, his defined jawline, broad shoulders, and lighter silhouette grabbed attention.
Shindong recently drew buzz for reportedly shedding around 37 kg. He tried an anti-obesity medication during his weight-loss journey but didn’t see the results he hoped for, then continued by changing his eating habits and daily routine.
After months of steady self-discipline—about five in total—he achieved a major change, naturally showing off his new physique through the travel shots. Front-facing photos highlight a slimmer face, while full-body shots reveal a firmer build and elongated proportions.
Fans are fired up. Reactions to his update included, “I almost didn’t recognize you,” “You lost so much,” and “I can’t believe someone can look this different,” cheering on his transformation.
Meanwhile, Super Junior, the group Shindong belongs to, is celebrating its 21st debut anniversary this year. Beyond his main role as a singer, Shindong remains active across TV, YouTube, and more.
