Super Junior member Shindong is drawing attention after showing off a noticeably sharper jawline following a 37-kilogram weight loss.

On Saturday, Shindong posted several photos taken in Tokyo to his social media, writing, "I've been posting so many AI photos lately that I was worried you'd forgotten what my real face looks like, so I brought you an actual photo."

He added in English: "Not AI this time just the real me."

Shindong had previously said he brought his weight down from a peak of 116 kilograms to 79 kilograms through lifestyle changes.

He initially tried the obesity drug Wegovy to lose weight but stopped after seeing little effect.

He then overhauled his daily routine instead of relying on medication, successfully shedding the weight. He stuck to a strict diet, cutting out late-night snacks after 10 p.m. and eating fixed portions at set times each day.

He also incorporated aerobic exercise into his regimen, walking more than 10,000 steps a day.
