Psy's slim appearance sparks rumors: "Did he use Mounjaro?"

Singer Psy is drawing intense interest from fans after his unexpectedly slim recent appearance was revealed. In contrast to footage of him heartily devouring gukbap (rice soup), suyuk (boiled pork), and sundae (blood sausage), his facial lines and physique have become noticeably leaner. While jokes about him using "Mounjaro" have emerged among fans, Psy himself addressed his changed appearance in his signature humorous style.

On the 14th, Psy posted a video on his SNS featuring a visit to a gukbap restaurant in Busan, captioned, "So my choice is..."

Previously, Psy had asked fans for recommendations, saying, "I'm taking recommendations. Busan pork gukbap." He then personally visited one of the three most recommended locations to verify the spot.

In the video, Psy, wearing a black T-shirt, sits at a table and eats gukbap and meat in succession. Not only gukbap, but a generous spread of food including suyuk and sundae was served, and Psy enjoyed the meal, displaying his characteristic "mukbang" instincts.

However, it wasn't the food that truly caught everyone's attention.

Contrary to his hearty eating, Psy's face and body appeared significantly slimmer than in the past. In particular, his sharp jawline was clearly visible, presenting a somewhat unfamiliar sight to fans who remember him as the "comfortably stout Psy."

As if conscious of his own change, Psy wrote in the comments, "Now that I've uploaded it, I see I have a jawline. I'm sorry." His self-deprecating joke instead elicited laughter from fans.

Netizens also reacted to Psy's changed appearance, commenting, "Please eat a lot. You've become too thin," "You lost too much weight," "Please return to your original self," and "Are you taking Mounjaro?"

Psy's weight changes have been a consistent subject of interest for fans. When he appeared on JTBC's "Knowing Bros" in 2022, Kang Ho-dong pointed out his self-management, noting, "You've lost weight," to which Psy confessed, "In the past, my physique stayed the same no matter how much I danced, but now I lose weight when I dance."

Psy's body changes have become a hot topic whenever he performs. Given the nature of his stages, which are characterized by intense choreography and long-duration performances, his physical exertion is known to be substantial. Therefore, fans believe his weight change is not just a simple change in appearance but is also related to his performance activities.

However, the cause of the weight loss cannot be determined from this video alone. The use of specific weight-loss drugs mentioned by some netizens is also not something Psy has directly confirmed. Ultimately, all that can be confirmed is Psy's slimmer appearance while he heartily eats gukbap.

What is interesting is that Psy himself is actively using this change as material for humor. Since his chubby image in the past became a sort of symbol for him, his joke expressing "apology" for showing his jawline can be read as a kind of "Psy-style meme" shared with his fans.

Psy is currently meeting audiences through his nationwide tour concert, "SUMMERSWAG 2026." As he continues to deliver high-intensity performances on stage, it is expected that fans will be interested in whether this captured slim appearance is a temporary change or his new permanent physique.
