Kang Mina dropped 13kg in just one month, revealing the dramatic transformation during a small-city trip to Kurashiki, Okayama Prefecture, Japan, according to Chosun.
The singer and actress shared her weight loss methods on the November 15 broadcast of MBN’s This Is Hyeonmu Road, appearing alongside cast members Jun Hyun-moo and Lee Jun. During the episode, the trio ordered an Okayama specialty Chagyu, beef course, which Kang praised for its clean and mild flavor.
The conversation turned to physical transformations when Jun brought up past interviews. “I remember an interview where Mina said, ‘I’m going to diet.’ She was really cute back then,” said Jun Hyun-moo, cast member on This Is Hyeonmu Road, as reported by Chosun.
Kang answered by detailing her rapid slim-down. “Since then, I lost about 13kg in one month,” said Kang Mina, singer and actress, according to Chosun.
Kang followed the remark by honestly confessing her urgent need to shed the weight and explaining the techniques she used. Hearing her account, Lee Jun chimed in with his own experiences regarding extreme leanness. “I was just skin and bones, but I guess I also only looked fine on the outside,” said Lee Jun, cast member on This Is Hyeonmu Road, as reported by Chosun.
After finishing their meal, the cast members headed to a convenience store to buy snacks, where a staff member recognized Lee and Kang. Meanwhile, Jun received no reaction from the store employee, prompting him to joke about his domestic popularity and assume the staff thought he was the manager of his co-stars.
MBN’s This Is Hyeonmu Road airs on November 15 at 10:30 p.m., according to Chosun.
