Super Junior's Ryeowook appeared on the YouTube channel 'New Go_F5' episode 501 of 'Duck Park House' on the 16th and revealed his unique diet experience when he first joined SM Entertainment. Appearing alongside TVXQ's Changmin and SS501's Gyujong, Ryeowook disclosed that he lost 8-10kg of weight over approximately two months between joining SM in September and his debut in November. He explained, "When I came to SM, I was all thin," and stated, "The manager told me to eat only doenjang-jjigae while everyone else ate Chinese food." He added that continuously eating doenjang-jjigae made him sick of it, naturally reducing his food intake and leading to weight loss. Ryeowook joked, "I didn't need Mounjaro," reflecting on his tough trainee days with humor. Changmin also shared an anecdote about buying Bada's albums to listen to when Ryeowook joined as the youngest member of Super Junior, as he knew Ryeowook was a huge fan, showing how their friendship deepened.
