Park Soo Ji, the sister of trot group K4’s Ryu Philip and the sister-in-law of singer Mina, recently shared an update on her personal transformation.

On December 10, Park Soo Ji posted on her personal social media, saying, "A lot of people said it doesn't look like I've lost much weight, so I went back and looked at some old videos. I'm working hard to diet, receiving treatment at the hospital, and sticking to my meal plan." Along with this message, she shared photos of her before-and-after weight loss journey.

The post quickly caught the attention of netizens, who left encouraging comments like, "No, you can totally see the difference! Who's saying otherwise? Soo Ji, you're amazing!" "Wow! Your consistency is unreal. This is a process that’s never easy," "You look even more beautiful!" and "Wishing you a healthy and successful journey to the end!"

Both Ryu Philip and Park Soo Ji have previously opened up about their difficult childhood through appearances on various family-themed variety shows. They revealed that during their school years in the U.S., they experienced labor exploitation at the hands of their father. At the time, Ryu Philip coped with the stress through exercise, while Park Soo Ji turned to food for comfort.

Due to this emotional trauma, Park Soo Ji's weight increased to 148 kg (135.7 lbs). However, she decided to take action, revealing, "I want to live like a proper person now. I was shocked when I saw the number on the scale." She also expressed her gratitude for her sister-in-law Mina, stating, "Mina has been a huge support. I’m so lucky to have a sister-in-law like her."

Since August, Park Soo Ji has been on a determined weight loss journey. Through strict meal planning and consistent exercise, she has successfully lost 46 kg (101.2 lbs), and she is now on the brink of reaching a double-digit weight under 100 kg.

To further motivate her, Mina and Ryu Philip promised to reward Park Soo Ji with 1 million KRW (approx. 700 USD) for every 10 kg (22 lbs) she loses, a commitment they have upheld throughout her journey. Her ongoing transformation has inspired and touched many people, with fans cheering her on as she works toward her ultimate goal.
