The idol has been gaining attention and also criticism for his extreme weight gain. In a recent interview with Ilgan Sports, Shindong was, of course, asked about this hot topic.
Shindong revealed, "Surprisingly, I'm always on a diet. It's not my main focus right now, though. I got prescriptions for diet medication after I returned from the military but I didn't lose weight so I went for another consultation and they told me that I must've become immune to the medication. So I've been searching for other methods and ultimately decided to cut down on food, but it's hard to control myself."
SEE ALSO: Shindong is back to dieting leading up to Super Junior's comeback!
When asked about his diet goals, Shindong answered, "I plan to gradually go on a diet until October. I'll be losing 20~30kgs (44 - 66 lbs) by October if I lose 2~3kg (4.4 to 6.6 lbs) per month. I can lose 2kg in 2 weeks. It's hard for skinny people to lose weight but I think I tend to lose weight more easily because I weigh so much and I exercise a lot."
However, Shindong revealed that the doctor advised him to not engage in rigorous exercise because of his high blood pressure. He'll be sticking to controlling his diet to lose weight.
Shindong was also asked, "Do you think you're handsome?" The idol answered, "I don't think I'm ugly. Doesn't everyone think this way? I don't think I've seen anyone more handsome than me among the people who weigh about the same as me. I used to think movie star Jack Black was handsome but I no longer think that. Right now, I'm really fat. You have to accept what you have to accept. I was even told that I look like a matchstick. They said my head is too big."

Sorry dude but you've gotten older and trying to lose weight is a battle (I been there and still trying), just be happy in who you are and keep moving and eat the right foods and amount. You never were 'handsome' but who cares be happy and do your best... FIGHTING!!

-sigh- I can't really defend him this time. lol He has high blood pressure probably due to the food he ate and/or the amount of food he eats. So yeah he needs to eat more healthier and control his portions from now on. However, he tends to yo-yo a lot so I doubt he'll keep it down At least he has a lot of self esteem and confidence unlike skinny little me. x.x I don't think he loses weight easily though because the skinniest he ever been was back in Bonamana or Mr.Simple era plus his high school years.Either way, good luck to him.

It's sad since Suju is my first and all time favorite Kpop group, but I can't stand this man. I'm surprised SM hasn't made him apologize for his horrible comments
