"Wegovy? Yes or no?" YouTuber Pani Bottle and Poongja's groundbreaking transformation showed that the Wegovy diet did not work for Super Junior's Shindong. Despite the hot interest in cases of stars who have successfully lost significant weight, side effects and failure cases have emerged frequently in the entertainment industry, raising awareness.

Recently, the spotlight has turned to Wegovy, a GLP-1 class injection used as a treatment for obesity. Known for reducing appetite and increasing satiety to aid weight loss, this drug garnered extensive attention after being highlighted as a weight-loss treatment for billionaire Elon Musk, emerging as a new keyword behind changes in celebrities' appearances.

# Pani Bottle, drawing a good line on Wegovy

YouTuber Pani Bottle is a representative case of change through Wegovy. After receiving a prescription for Wegovy, he succeeded in losing 10 kg and even garnered attention for being compared to actor Lee Dohyun. Furthermore, he recently attracted attention by confessing his romantic relationship on the MBC entertainment program "Adventure By Accident," noting he has achieved success in both work and love after his weight loss.

Due to such dramatic changes, Pani Bottle has come to be regarded as a good example of the Wegovy diet. However, he himself drew a line against excessive attention and envy. He warned about side effects such as lethargy, nausea, and depression, expressing concern over indiscriminate injections. He noted, "I continue to experience nausea symptoms," adding, "Let’s consult a doctor in detail at a hospital before proceeding with the prescription."

# Poongja "I don’t want to promote recommendations"

YouTuber Poongja also succeeded in dieting through prescriptions for injections like Wegovy. He confessed through his personal YouTube channel, "Actually, I’ve tried both Saxenda and Wegovy," saying he lost 7 kg in just one and a half months, achieving a total weight loss of 14 kg, which surprised many.

However, Poongja emphasized that it was "personal experience" and said, "Please only use this as a reference. I don’t want to promote recommendations for injections." He revealed that due to side effects, he felt nauseous, saying it felt like someone was continuously frying pancakes next to him while he was feeling sick. He admitted, "It was really hard. Even when I tried to shoot, I felt nauseous." He also explained the reasons for stopping the injection diet treatment, stating, "It’s so difficult to lose weight. I couldn’t keep up with my daily life, so I couldn’t continue."

# Super Junior's Shindong, yo-yoing despite Wegovy

Meanwhile, Super Junior's Shindong revealed his weight loss journey during the filming of the KBS 2TV entertainment program "Problem Child in House." He attracted attention by revealing that he lost 37 kg through extreme dieting over six months, having decreased from an astonishing 116 kg to 79 kg, surviving on just six wraps of brown rice a day.

However, after three months, he experienced yo-yo phenomena. He allegedly spent over 14 million won on delivery costs due to compensatory eating. Even after being prescribed Wegovy, he did not see the expected weight loss effect. Despite increasing the dosage, the doctor reportedly remarked, "Mr. Shindong has a body that defeats Wegovy," which was surprising.

The confessions of these stars regarding the topics of 'weight' and 'diet,' which center on health and beauty, have resonated with the public. However, side effects continue to be consistently mentioned. The journeys of stars facing turning points in their lives in various ways in the war against weight leave significant implications.
