Lee Yong Dae, the legendary badminton player, stunned fans with his impressive body profile photos, showcasing his dedication and hard work.

On the January 19 episode of SBS's My Little Old Boy, Lee Yong Dae and comedian Kim Jun Ho teamed up for a body profile photo shoot, creating both inspiring and hilarious moments.

Lee Yong Dae explained why he decided to take these photos, saying, "I’m nearing the end of my athletic career, and I wanted to capture this body while I still have it. This will be my final profile."

To prepare, he shared that he worked hard for two months, cutting his weight from 80kg to 73kg. His muscular right arm, developed from years of playing badminton, left everyone amazed.

Kim Jun Ho, on the other hand, took a different approach, jokingly calling his photos the "before" shots. He said, "I weigh 82kg now, but my health check-up told me to lose 10kg. I want to show a transformed version of myself at my wedding this summer." The comedian is set to tie the knot in mid-2025 and hopes to slim down before then.

During their preparations, Lee Yong Dae helped Kim Jun Ho with workout tips and even brought hair removal tools, teasing, "Excessive body hair can hide your muscles." In a hilarious turn, Lee Yong Dae assisted Kim Jun Ho with hair removal, adding to the laughter.

At the studio, Kim Jun Ho encouraged Lee Yong Dae to lower his underwear slightly to show off his hip line for the shoot. Though initially shy and saying, "This feels too revealing," Lee eventually followed the suggestion, wowing everyone with his bold photos.

Shin Dong Yup couldn’t help but praise Lee Yong Dae, commenting, "He looks incredible. It’s not just about how cool he looks—imagine the effort and discipline it took to achieve that body. That’s what’s truly impressive."

Meanwhile, Kim Jun Ho kept the laughs coming by having muscles painted onto his body for his shoot, proving that he’s all about bringing joy to any situation.

Fans can’t get enough of Lee Yong Dae’s stunning transformation and are looking forward to seeing Kim Jun Ho’s progress as he works towards his wedding goals!

On the May 1st episode of KBS 2TV’s variety show Problem Child in House, Lee Jun Young appeared alongside co-star Jung Eun Ji to promote their new KBS drama Pump Up the Healthy Love.

During the show, Lee Jun Young was asked about the most unforgettable villain he’s played. He chose his role as Han Su Gang in the film Brave Citizen.

He explained, “It was really tough to film. I had to act like I was leading school violence, and there was even a scene where I bullied a grandmother.”

The hosts were surprised, pointing out how kind and gentle he seems in real life. Lee Jun Young shared how he transforms for such roles.

“I try to act as bad as I can, but sometimes the director says, ‘You still look too nice.’ Then I focus even harder and adjust right away.”

He also revealed that filming one particular scene hit him hard emotionally. “My real grandmother was sick at the time,” he said.

“In one scene, there’s a grandma selling gimbap, and I ad-libbed by stubbing a cigarette out on the gimbap. I was really into character, but after filming, I just broke down. So many thoughts came to me and I started crying.”

Fans praised his dedication to acting but also felt moved by how deeply the role affected him. Lee Jun Young’s honesty gave a raw look at how even fictional roles can hit close to home.
