In a remarkable transformation, comedian Choi Seung-kyung and actress Lim Chae-won have successfully lost a combined total of 62 kilograms and have maintained their weight loss.
On the October 11th episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Perfect Life,' the couple revealed their impressive diet journey, with Choi shedding 42 kilograms from 130 kg to 88 kg, while Lim lost 20 kg, now weighing 47 kg. Choi emphasized that while losing the weight felt manageable over three years, maintaining it has been a daily struggle. He credited his wife’s persistent support for helping him stay on track with his weight maintenance for the past decade.
Lim playfully remarked that rather than 'training' him, she often nags him about their health, adding her own experiences of gaining over 20 kg during pregnancy made her empathize with the challenges of dieting. Both expressed concerns about their lack of muscle, with Choi revealing that others joke about his 'hot dog' physique, fearing he might face muscle loss. Their candid discussion highlighted their commitment to health and fitness.
Furthermore, the couple shared their unique love story, often referred to as the 'Beauty and the Beast' of the entertainment industry, which initially sparked rumors about Choi's wealth at the time of their marriage. Lim reminisced about the surreal feeling of waking up to find her husband waiting for her outside every morning, expressing gratitude for his attentiveness. Choi amusingly recalled that when he became a comedian in 1991, he had mentioned his dream of marrying Lim, reinforcing how their aspirations have come true.
Lim concluded with a heartfelt reflection on marriage, noting that the joy of being cherished by her husband has made their family life comfortable, allowing them to raise their child well. She expressed deep respect for Choi, showcasing the genuine affection and partnership they share.
