On the Dec. 15 episode of SBS’ "Same Bed, Different Dreams 2: You Are My Destiny," the comedian documented what she’s calling her “final” weight-loss push.
She wowed her close friends by showing her pre-diet photos next to her slimmed-down current look. The show also flashed shots from Pungja’s bulk-up era, prompting the panel to crack jokes that she looked like a pro fighter or wrestler.
The crew then debated where they each put on weight first. Shin Giru admitted she couldn’t tell, and Pungja teased, “I’ve never seen you start gaining ― you’re just always there,” sending the room into laughter.
Hong asked psychiatrist Oh Jin-seung if maintaining the same higher weight is healthier than bouncing up and down with yo-yo dieting. He waved it off: “Not really.”
Kim Gu-ra jumped in with a sports analogy: “Is it better to finish last every time? It’s better to place 30th than be last,” drawing more laughs.
For Shin Giru’s birthday, Hong gifted a heavy-duty scale after learning the mother-of-pearl one she’d given earlier couldn’t register the weight due to its limit.
They wheeled out a bathhouse-style jumbo scale. “Don’t look ― we’ll check and tell you,” friends reassured her. But when they saw the number, they were speechless ― and when Shin accidentally caught a glimpse, she screamed.
“It didn’t top 140 kilograms, right?” Kim Gu-ra asked. Hong quickly shielded her friend: “She’s somewhere between 100 and 140.”
Then Hong made her own plea: “I’m under 100 kilograms now. I’ve been telling everyone, but no one’s writing about it. Please run the story that I’m in the double digits.”
“So we’re about the same?” Kim Gu-ra replied, revealing he weighs 97 kilograms. Hong went quiet, and the panel got the hint. “Kind of close,” she allowed, “but a little lower than you” ― a sign her diet is right on track.
