Kim, who is currently in KBS 2TV’s “Uncontrollably Fond,” is known for his bulky physique. However, at the beginning of his career he was a slender model.

To achieve his muscular physique Kim worked-out 2-5 hours per day, which included 200 push-ups, giving him a shoulder width of 57 centimeters -- about 10cm above the Korean average

AOA‘s Seolhyun also changed her appearance through a grueling diet and exercise regime. When she debuted with AOA, she weighted over 60 kilograms. Formerly a model for a local school uniform brand, she gained some weight in her early 20s.

To keep her body in shape Seolhyun had one meal a day and kept to high-protein foods that involved chicken breasts and sweet potatoes. She also did cardio workouts along with muscle-building exercises.
