Singer and actor Park Ji-hoon revealed the reason and process behind losing 15kg for the movie "The Man Who Lives with the King." On the 20th, on the tvN variety show "You Quiz on the Block," Park Ji-hoon explained that the goal of his weight loss was to express the painful process of the young dethroned king. He said, "My goal was to primarily show the painful process of the young dethroned king through weight loss."

Park Ji-hoon explained that he chose apples, his least favorite fruit, during the weight loss process. He added, "It was a time of pain and endurance. I was really sensitive. I love eating, and if it weren't for that process, I don't think I could have expressed it this much." He continued, "Among fruits, the one I dislike the most is apples. The reason I chose a fruit I dislike was because I thought that putting something I dislike in my mouth might suppress my appetite."
