Go Kyung Pyo Weighed 91kg, Got Banned from Ride: “I’ll Never Be Mocked Again”
Actor Go Kyung Pyo recently shared a humorous yet humbling story about his weight that left fans laughing and sympathizing.
In a recent variety show appearance, Go Kyung Pyo revealed, “There was a place with slides and zip lines, but there was a weight limit of 89kg. I thought I had lost weight, so I’d be fine, but when I stepped on the scale, it showed 91kg.”
Due to safety reasons, he was denied access to the rides. He added with a smile, “The hyungs I went with still tease me about it to this day.”
Fortunately, he later weighed himself again and found he had slimmed down to 86kg, expressing his determination to stay in shape: “I felt so pathetic. I’ll manage myself better so I’m never looked down on again,” he said, laughing.
The story originally aired on tvN’s variety show “Sixth Sense: City Tour.” During the episode, Song Eun Yi commented on his noticeably slimmer face, saying, “You’ve lost a lot of swelling. You look way leaner than when I saw you in Busan last week.” Yoo Jae Suk jokingly asked if he had perhaps been cast in a new project, saying, “Did you get paid? Is this a pre-shoot diet?”
Go Kyung Pyo responded honestly, “To get cast, I need to look ready. But I just couldn’t manage it. I haven’t gotten any offers,” causing the cast to burst into laughter.
Go Kyung Pyo has long been known for his “pre- and post-payment body transformation.” He tends to gain some weight during his off-season, then dramatically slims down with razor-sharp jawlines whenever he lands a new acting role.
