Comedian Lee Yong-sik Reveals 22kg Weight Loss: 'Raise a Child if You Fail Your Diet'

Comedian Lee Yong-sik has revealed his recent status, having lost as much as 22kg while raising his granddaughter.

On the 15th, during the TV CHOSUN program 'Love Goes On', comedian Lee Yong-sik announced that he lost 22kg due to looking after his granddaughter, Lee El.

Lee Su-min, daughter of Lee Yong-sik, visited her father's event venue with her husband and daughter. Encountering his granddaughter Suddenly, Lee Yong-sik welcomed them, saying, "What are you doing appearing so suddenly?" and guided the family to the waiting room.

Lee Su-min remarked, "The whole family has lost weight from childcare. My husband lost a lot, and my mother lost weight too. Four people have lost weight just to raise one child." In particular, she noted that Lee Yong-sik had lost as much as 22kg.

Lee Yong-sik shared how difficult parenting can be, stating, "For those who have failed at dieting or are experiencing the yo-yo effect, try raising a child. If you raise a child, there is no yo-yo effect at all."

Lee Su-min boasted, "Dad has no time to sit at home. He plays with his granddaughter all day long. His old 'Bbosiki' skills are still alive."

Lee Yong-sik remembered his granddaughter's daily routine accurately. He knew her routine precisely, noting, "Lee El wakes up at 7 AM and takes her first nap at 10 AM. She drinks about 200~250ml of formula at a time."

He also shared that he is living diligently for the sake of childcare, saying, "Su-min made me exercise. I am working hard at exercising because I need stamina to hold my granddaughter."
