Park Jin-young Shares His Story of Losing 80 Kilograms on “Please Save My Refrigerator”

Actor Park Jin-young appeared as a guest on the variety show “Please Save My Refrigerator since 2014” on the night of the 8th alongside IVE’s Yujin. The former GOT7 member drew attention by sharing videos from his military service that had never been made public before, along with details about his successful weight loss journey.

The actor, who shares the same name as producer Park Jin-young (JYP), recounted several amusing episodes related to this coincidence. He explained, “My mother often sends me kimchi, but there were multiple times when it disappeared even though I received a delivery notification.” He later revealed that the show’s production staff had accidentally taken the deliveries in some cases. When the host asked if he had ever received the wrong package meant for JYP Park Jin-young, Park Jin-young replied, “He makes sure to take care of his own deliveries,” turning the scene into a sea of laughter.

When videos from his military service were shown, Ahn Jung-hwan was surprised by Park Jin-young’s weight and praised him. Park Jin-young then admitted with a somewhat embarrassed expression, “I gained up to 80 kilograms during my military service, and I lost 10 kilograms after being discharged.” In response, the other chefs in the studio, especially Jeong Ho-young, Kwon Sung-joon, and Yoon Nam-no, immediately objected. They said things like, “If you’re already at 80 kilograms, why would you lose weight?” and “With that weight, you shouldn’t have any wishes left.” Ahn Jung-hwan added humor by saying, “It seems these big guys think differently.”

Park Jin-young revealed the secret behind his successful diet. He said, “During my weight loss period, I only ate this for all three meals,” and introduced a chicken breast soup recipe he developed himself. Kwon Sung-joon highly praised his cooking method and meal management. When Kwon Sung-joon admitted he was a fan of “Brother Jin-young,” Jeong Ho-young delivered a blunt comment, saying he looked to be around forty years old. Kwon Sung-joon was born in 1995 and is 31 years old this year.
