Singer Moon Hee-joon Addresses Weight Loss Struggles Ahead of Anniversary
Singer Moon Hee-joon admitted he failed to reach his target weight ahead of his group H.O.T.’s 30th-anniversary fan meeting, after attempting a two-month diet that yielded minimal results, sportschosun.com reported. The television appearance on the 6th of the month on the SBS entertainment program Same Bed, Different Dreams 2 – You Are My Destiny showcased the first public look at the milestone fan gathering.
Preparing for the event alongside his wife, Soyul, at a makeup shop, Moon reflected on reaching nearly 50 years of age after debuting at 19 years old in high school. When Soyul noted the need to look polished for the long-awaited fan meeting, Moon revealed he had failed to complete his planned weight reduction, stating that eating even a single meal caused his weight to bounce right back up.

Moon explained that losing weight has become significantly harder with age, noting that his body fails to drop pounds despite following the exact same routines as in the past.
Soyul gently suggested exploring outside assistance, such as obesity treatment medications. However, Moon expressed hesitation due to potential side effects. As a father of two, he emphasized that maintaining his health to raise his children remained his primary priority, stating that he worries about falling ill.
