2PM's Nichkhun recently shared how far he went to change his image because of comments he read online.
On the episode of SBS' 'AGJ' that aired on the 6th, the 2PM members (Jun. K, Nichkhun, Ok Taecyeon, Jang Wooyoung, and Hwang Chansung) showed up as a full-group and dropped some funny, honest stories from behind the scenes.
The hosts brought up Nichkhun's legendary visuals from the group's debut era back in 2008. They looked at his old photos and talked about how much attention his looks received at the time. Wooyoung also agreed, mentioning, "We were completely amazed by his visuals back then."
However, the conversation took a very blunt turn. Host Tak Jaehoon asked Nichkhun, "People have been teasing you lately for gaining weight." Lee Sangmin also asked, "I wanted to ask that too. Why have you gotten so chubby?"
Nichkhun replied, "A video of me from a while ago recently resurfaced on Youtube. If you watch it, I look like a completely different person compared to how I look now." He explained:
"At the beginning of the year, I didn't have many schedules, so I decided to go back home to Thailand and ended up eating way too much."
He continued, "After seeing that, I thought, 'Wow, I really am getting older.'" Apparently, he was so shocked by how much attention his weight gain was getting online and decided to take action.
"Right before our recent concert in Japan, I lost weight by eating only three eggs over the course of three days."
The recent discussion about his weight started in May, after 2PM's official YouTube channel uploaded a new video. Fans noticed his fuller appearance compared to before, and it quickly became a popular topic on online communities.
But honestly, Nichkhun looks great now as 2PM is celebrating their 18th debut anniversary this year. The full group is scheduled to meet fans at their '2026 2PM Concert 'THE RETURN' in INCHEON' this coming August at the Inspire Arena.
