In a recent episode of TV CHOSUN's 'Perfect Life', comedian Choi Seung-kyung revealed that maintaining weight loss is even tougher than the initial diet itself.
The episode featured the couple, who collectively lost 62 kg, stunning both the audience and fellow guests. They were introduced by Mr. Trot 2 singer Nah Sang-do, whose lyrics highlighted Choi's impressive 42 kg loss and his wife’s 20 kg loss. This achievement prompted much admiration, with Lee Seon-mi commenting on their remarkable transformation as the first couple in the show's history to achieve such a feat.
Choi Seung-kyung shared that while losing 42 kg over three years was manageable, maintaining that loss has been a challenge for the past decade. His wife, Lim Chae-won, humorously credited her supportive nagging for his success. She also revealed her own struggles with weight gain during pregnancy and the effects of menopause, emphasizing the couple's shared journey.
The episode depicted their daily lives, contrasting Lim’s early morning reading with Choi’s fasting workouts. In a light-hearted exchange, Choi boasted about his wife's reading habits, while she confessed to feeling lethargic since entering menopause. This nostalgia led fellow guest Oh Ji-ho to recall his calm demeanor on set during their first collaboration 22 years ago.
As they enjoyed breakfast, Lim opted for a croissant while Choi chose indulgent pastries, drawing a playful reprimand from Lee Seon-mi. With concerns about Choi’s diet choices expressed by Lim and warnings from a medical expert about potential health risks, it became clear that their health journey continues to be a topic of discussion. Concluding the segment, Choi expressed a desire to revisit Hawaii, where their love story began.
