Lee Sun-sil has shared an update on her transformed appearance after losing 45 kilograms.
On Sunday, Lee appeared on KBS 2TV's "Boss Has Donkey Ears," joining actor Han Da-gam on a market research outing at a supermarket.
Lee, who once wore a 2XL size, stunned those around her when she picked out a small-size cardigan to try on.
"Right now I wear between a Korean size 44 and 55," she said, modeling the cardigan on the spot. Fellow cast member Han Da-gam said, "When I first met you, you were a large." Host Jeon Hyun-moo was equally struck by Lee's slim figure, saying, "You've really lost a lot."
Lee had previously said she lost weight with the help of Wegovy and other means. She shed an additional 10 kilograms in the past month alone, and her current profile lists her at 171 centimeters and 59 kilograms.
"My body feels so light — I love it. People keep telling me I look pretty," she said, adding with a laugh, "Pretty soon I'll be fitting into dog clothes."
Lee, who defected from North Korea, currently runs a food company with annual sales in the 10 billion won ($6.62 million) range.
