Despite News of Blindness and Pancreatitis from Obesity Drugs... Dr. "Agutong" Chang Hyeong-woo Says, "Obese People Have No Other Choice"

I first came across him on YouTube Shorts and wondered, "Is he a promotional ambassador for the obesity drug Mounjaro?" SBS Discovery of Knowledge met with Professor Chang Hyeong-woo of the Department of Thoracic and Cardiovascular Surgery at Seoul National University Bundang Hospital, widely known as Dr. "Agutong." He explained that having struggled with obesity treatment for a long time, he finally found a method and simply wants to share it quickly with other obesity patients, having absolutely no conflict of interest with Mounjaro. Pancreatitis is known as one of the representative side effects of obesity drugs like Mounjaro. Recently, there has also been news that patients abroad have filed successive lawsuits after suddenly losing their vision following the use of obesity drugs. Despite such news, Professor Chang Hyeong-woo, will you really stick with Mounjaro for the rest of your life?
