Singer and actor Park Ji Hoon candidly discussed his ongoing struggles with weight management, revealing that he once considered medical weight-loss injections such as Wegovy and Mounjaro but ultimately decided against them due to fear and hesitation.

On May 15, a video titled 'Your Majesty in My Heart' was released on the YouTube channel I Didn't Even Prepare Much. In the episode, Park Ji Hoon appeared as a guest following the strong box office performance of his recent film 'The King's Warden' as a King, which has brought him into the spotlight as a “10-million ticket actor.”

During the broadcast, broadcaster and entertainer Lee Young Ji asked Park Ji Hoon about his recent activities. He responded that he was very pleased with the success of his film. Lee Young Ji said she watched the movie late at night with her manager and was deeply moved, praising his performance. She also shared that she had watched several long-running drama series including 'My Love from the Star,' 'Guardian: The Lonely and Great God,' and 'Weak Hero Class 1,' which eventually led her to subscribe to a streaming service to watch Park’s film.

The conversation later shifted to dieting and physical appearance management. Lee Youn Ji openly described herself as someone whose weight fluctuates easily, noting visible differences in her appearance from week to week. Park Ji Hoon agreed, explaining that his weight drops quickly when he eats less but increases just as easily when he eats normally. He added that he is currently in a weight-loss period due to his strong appetite and love of food.

The discussion also touched on the growing popularity of weight-loss medications such as Wegovy and Mounjaro. Park Ji Hoon admitted that he had seriously considered the injections but ultimately decided against them, saying he was too scared to proceed and concerned about the idea of rapid weight reduction.

He further reflected on the pressures of maintaining his physique as a public figure, explaining that dieting can be especially challenging when quick physical changes are required for professional roles.
