Wedding Bells—and a Slimmer Look—for Lee Jangwoo
Lee Jangwoo just sent fans into a frenzy, not only because of his upcoming marriage, but also thanks to his visibly slimmer figure. The actor recently posted wedding photos on Instagram with the message, “Everyone~ I’m getting married!”
In the photo, Lee stands tall in a suit and military beret, next to actress Jo Hye-won, who beams in a stunning white wedding gown. The couple rocks matching black boots, adding a playful twist to the romantic scene. Cue every K-drama lover’s collective sigh.
A Diet Journey Inspired by Love (and Mom)
This glow-up didn’t happen overnight. Known to weigh around 107kg (236 pounds), Lee previously opened up on the YouTube channel “Persistent Daebo” that he was cutting back on food ahead of the big day. “My mom asked if I could lose just 10 kilograms,” he shared with a laugh, adding, “Since I’m getting married, I’ve got to.”
The video even captured Lee struggling with a vest during some farm work, proving that sometimes, weight loss is more than just about willpower—it’s about dressing the part.
Fans Notice—and Approve
The comments section lit up with love and surprise: “You can really tell he’s lost weight,” “Wishing you a successful diet as a wedding gift!” and “You and Jo Hye-won are a perfect match.”
The couple first met as co-stars on the 2018 KBS drama My Only One, where their onscreen chemistry evidently spilled into real life. Despite an eight-year age gap, their relationship blossomed, leading to a public romance and now a wedding on November 23.
