Chef Yun Nam-no said the obesity drug Mounjaro had no effect on him.

A video titled "A bowl of premium jjamppong by Park Eun-young for Yun Nam-no, who shed blood, sweat and tears preparing for his restaurant opening" was posted Monday on the YouTube channel "Babeun-yeong."

In the video, chef Park Eun-young visited the restaurant Yun had recently opened.

Upon seeing Park, Yun said, "You look great today. Did you get Ultherapy or something?"

Park's husband is a plastic surgeon. "My husband does a lot of good things for me," she said.

Yun then revealed he had visited Park's husband's clinic. "I went there to get a Mounjaro prescription," he said.

Park said, "You overpowered the Mounjaro — it didn't work on you, did it?" Yun admitted he had not known about the drug's side effects.

"I once walked off the set of 'Fridge' — 'Please Take Care of My Refrigerator,'" Yun said. "I kept thinking, 'Why isn't my digestion working?' I was taking digestive medicine and just kept eating."

"I didn't realize it was causing indigestion," he added. "I just thought the weight would come off."
