Netizens sympathized with Yoo Seung Ho for losing a lot of weight, following backlash for his weight gain.

On October 29, one netizen took to an online community forum and created a post titled, "Yoo Seung Ho, who apologized to those who said he gained weight, and then returned after completely losing weight." Here, the netizen included photos of Yoo Seung Ho from his drama 'Memorist'. During this time, Yoo Seung Ho responded to those calling him out for gaining weight, and explained that he had purposely gained weight to take on the role of a cop in his drama. 

The netizen then included photos from Yoo Seung Ho's more recent pictorial, which visibly showed the actor's drastic weight loss. The netizen wrote, "He said even when he saw himself he knew that he had gained weight, so he gave a feedback saying that he would lose weight and return with a handsome look in his next project. Yoo Seung Ho then updated [his fans] by revealing that during the one year he didn't promote, he focused on exercising. He also decided he might as well build muscle while losing weight. "
