That’s not all.

Lee Joon Gi also stopped eating rice and limited his carbohydrate intake, and it all started when he got injured while filming MBC‘s Scholar Who Walks the Night in 2015.

I injured my hamstring and nose, and my back and neck weren’t doing so well either. That’s when I decided to start taking better care of my body.

Lee Joon Gi has been on this new diet for 4 years now, but he revealed that he still gains weight regardless.

I gain weight again even if I eat this way.

But he’s determined to keep going.

I’m going to keep at it with this diet.
