Actor Cha Woo Min has surprised viewers after revealing that he gained 13 kg in just six months through his dedication to working out.
During the October 23 episode of MBC's variety show I Live Alone, also known as Home Alone, the actor gave viewers a glimpse into his daily life while living alone in Seoul's Mangwon neighborhood.
The episode showed Cha Woo Min starting his morning by taking care of his pets and cleaning his home before heading to the gym.
While discussing his fitness routine, the actor revealed that exercising has become an important part of his everyday life.
He shared, "I work out every day. There isn't a day when I don't want to exercise."
What surprised the hosts most was his significant weight gain over a relatively short period.
Cha Woo Min explained, "I currently weigh 83 kg, but I used to weigh 70 kg. I gained about 13 kg over six months."
His revelation drew attention to the physical transformation he achieved through regular strength training.
However, despite his progress, Cha Woo Min admitted that he has recently been concerned about his workout routine.
He said, "These days, I don't really feel muscle soreness anymore, so it's become a dilemma. I wonder if I'm not exercising properly."
To make his workouts more challenging, the actor was shown increasing the weight on gym equipment during his strength training session.
Watching his dedication, host Jun Hyun Moo expressed his admiration, saying, "Wow, that's what a man is!"
Cha Woo Min also revealed that he learned how to exercise largely on his own rather than through formal training.
He explained, "I taught myself, getting injured along the way."
During the episode, the actor spent approximately one hour focusing on his shoulder exercises.
After finishing his strength training, he continued with cardio on a stair-climbing machine, commonly known as the StairMaster.
Cha Woo Min shared, "I usually do it lightly for about 25 minutes, increasing the level from 7 to 10."
His exercise routine highlighted how much time and effort he puts into maintaining his physique.
From weighing 70 kg to reaching 83 kg in just six months, Cha Woo Min's transformation became one of the memorable moments of the episode.
The actor's comments also offered a look at his enthusiasm for fitness, with Cha Woo Min revealing that working out every day has become something he genuinely enjoys.
While the 13 kg increase reflects his reported weight gain, the episode did not specify how much of that change came from muscle.
His appearance on I Live Alone gave viewers a closer look at the consistent training and personal motivation behind his physical transformation.
