Editor's Pick: The 'Diet Doctor' Who Weighed 118kg... The Shocking Truth Behind Weight Loss

○ [News Story] The Weight-Loss Injection Craze: What is the Hidden Truth Behind the "Miracle Drug"? (Broadcast on July 11, 2026)

Wegovy and Mounjaro, which have sparked a global craze, are marking a new turning point in obesity treatment to the point of causing shortages. Professor Chang Hyung-woo of the Department of Thoracic Surgery at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital has always emphasized the importance of weight loss to his patients. However, he himself was once a super-morbidly obese patient who weighed up to 118kg. Having tried every diet imaginable since high school, he even underwent a sleeve gastrectomy to reduce his stomach size, but four years later, his weight began to creep back up. It was only after taking Wegovy that he finally broke free from the shackles of obesity. Professor Chang asserts that obesity is not a matter of willpower, but a disease requiring medical treatment, praising anti-obesity drugs for opening a new era.
