Moon Hee-jun envies PLAVE's yo-yo-free life after revealing his 39th weight rebound
H.O.T.'s Moon Hee-jun opened up about his 39 weight rebounds on E Channel's 'Seo In-young's Trend Grandpa' while gushing over virtual idol PLAVE.
Moon Hee-jun on PLAVE: "The future has arrived"
Moon Hee-jun sat down with hosts Seo In-young and Mimi Minu on episode 3 of E Channel's variety show 서인영의 유행꼰대 (Seo In-young's Trend Grandpa), which aired October 15, for a conversation centered on idols.
When virtual idol group PLAVE came up, Moon Hee-jun didn't hold back. "It feels like the future has arrived," he said — then immediately pivoted to the most relatable angle possible: weight management.
"Even 30, 40, 50, 60 years later, they could look the same. Yo-yo won't come, right? There's the advantage that there would be no stress about yo-yo after eating yeolttok and recording."
Moon Hee-jun has been vocal about his own diet struggles. Back in June, he appeared on SBS's 동상이몽2 - 너는 내 운명 (Roommates 2 - You Are My Destiny) and disclosed that he had experienced his 39th weight rebound and was starting his 40th diet. He also revealed he maintained 58 kg during his H.O.T. days.
30th debut anniversary is the motivation
His 30th debut anniversary arrives next year. That's what's driving diet number 40. Fans have been asking to see him the way he looked at debut, so he's grown his hair long to match that era — and the diet is part of the same effort.
(Thirty years of yo-yo cycles and still going — that's commitment in both directions.)
