Pungja opened up about her struggles with a weight loss plateau.
On the episode of SBS's 'My Little Old Boy' aired on July 19, Eom Ji-yoon and Pungja visited Han Hye-jin's home.
Upon arriving at Han's house, Pungja immediately complained of being hungry. Han scolded her, saying, "Is 'I'm hungry' the first thing you say as soon as you see me?"
Pungja replied, "I just get hungry whenever I see you, unnie," to which Han retorted, "You've gained weight. When you gain weight, you stay hungry."
Pungja then shared her difficulties, saying, "I'm not losing any more weight these days. I've hit a plateau. It's been two or three months now."
Pungja, who has been on a diet for 16 months since February of last year, confessed that she has lost 33kg, adding, "I worked hard to lose it, but the number is still a bit disappointing."
The 'Mom-vengers' (the celebrity mothers on the show) were amazed, commenting, "Her jawline is visible. Losing 33kg is like losing an entire person. It's like an elementary school student has come out of her."
Pungja expressed her frustration, saying, "I've been in this plateau for about three months, and I haven't lost even 100 grams." Han responded, "There's something called a set point, and you have to break through that to lose more."
Pungja replied, "If I could break it with sheer force, I would have already. It's driving me crazy." Han then shared her own diet expertise, saying, "It's really hard to break that. Usually, when a plateau hits, you have to go back to the most grueling exercise you've ever done," drawing attention.
