A preview for the March 30 episode of JTBC’s Please Take Care of My Refrigerator teased Cha Jun Hwan’s appearance, and shortly after, a post discussing his diet gained traction on online forums. The post detailed his usual meal portions…
Which included only half a serving of instant rice — something he reportedly doesn’t eat often — and just 10 pieces of penne pasta.
While Cha Jun Hwan sometimes allows himself a more indulgent meal, it was noted that he generally follows a very low-calorie diet. Given the physical demands of figure skating, many assume he strictly controls his intake to maintain peak performance.
The topic sparked a wave of reactions, with many expressing shock at how little he eats despite his intense training. Others speculated that managing weight might be a crucial part of his sport, as even small weight fluctuations could affect balance and performance on the ice.
- “How does he even work out after eating that? That’s incredible.”
- “10 pieces…?”
- “Make sure to eat plenty of protein and vitamins!”
- “Seeing how tall he is despite eating like that, I guess height really is all about genetics.”
- “Maybe it’s because gaining weight makes him feel heavier… The way elite athletes manage their bodies is seriously intense.”
Whether it’s his impressive achievements in competitions, his effortless charm, or his unbelievable diet, Cha Jun Hwan continues to draw attention as one of the most beloved athletes in South Korea.
