Actor Park Ji Hoon’s dramatic before and after weight loss transformation for the film ‘The King’s Warden’ is drawing major attention online.
Recently, comparison photos of Park Ji Hoon before and after his diet began circulating across various online communities and social media platforms, quickly becoming a hot topic. The viral images juxtapose a 2024 photo of Park Ji Hoon shared on actor Choi Hyun Wook’s social media with photos from his sharper featured days during Wanna One promotions in 2019.
Netizens reacted enthusiastically, commenting, “He definitely suits the role of King Danjong better after losing weight,” and “The vibe is completely different,” highlighting the striking visual change.
In director Jang Hang Joon’s film ‘The King’s Warden,’ Park Ji Hoon plays King Danjong (Lee Hong Wi). While he had a slightly fuller, cute charm in 2024, his on screen appearance shows a noticeably sharper jawline and sorrowful gaze, perfectly embodying the tragic young monarch.
Viewers also shared reactions such as, “His Wanna One era visuals are back,” “He lost weight so well,” and “He looked cute and handsome before too, but now his features really stand out.”
Previously, Park Ji Hoon revealed that he lost an impressive 15 kilograms to fully immerse himself in the role. He shared that he exercised extreme self discipline, saying, “For two months, I controlled my weight by eating only apples every day,” a strict diet method that sparked further discussion.
Thanks to Park Ji Hoon’s dedication and powerful performance, ‘The King’s Warden’ continues its strong box office run. As of March 2, the film has recorded a cumulative audience of 8.48 million and is rapidly approaching the coveted 10 million milestone.
