On the June 16th broadcast of SBS's 'You're My Destiny', Moon Hee-jun joined the show as a new couple alongside his wife, Soyul.

During the episode, the MCs referred to Moon Hee-jun as an icon of the yo-yo diet, noting, "We heard you were hesitant to film because this is your 39th yo-yo."

In response, Moon expressed his frustration, saying, "The fact that it's my 39th yo-yo means I've also lost the weight 39 times, but no one remembers that. People only ever remember when I've gained it back."

He then explained his reason for starting his 40th diet, stating, "I decided to lose weight for my fans to celebrate my 30th anniversary since debut. That's why I even grew my hair out like I had back then. So, I've wrapped the packaging just like it was, but the contents inside have become a bit thicker," drawing laughter from the cast.

To this, Kim Gura joked, "Moon Hee-jun isn't an entertainer who is judged solely on his appearance. You know how they have those dried pollack farms in Yongdae-ri, Gangwon-do? The fish freeze and thaw in the wind, and that's what makes them taste so good." He added, "You're just becoming a better person, so don't worry about it."
