Comedian Hong Yun-hwa Received a Disney Casting Offer Following a 27kg Weight Loss, Set to appear on ‘Radio Star’
South Korean comedian Hong Yun-hwa experienced a surprising turn of events after losing 27 kilograms: a casting offer from Disney. The story, along with details of her change and career updates, will be featured on the upcoming episode of MBC’s “Radio Star,” airing on the 22nd. Hong Yun-hwa is known for operating a popular fish cake bar, which she playfully refers to as a “some spot,” claiming it has a successful track record in fostering relationships.
The “Radio Star” episode, titled “We Get Together Quite Well,” will also star Kim Gwang-gyu, Kim Wan-seon, and Joe Jazz. Hong Yun-hwa’s striking resemblance to Joe Jazz-who runs a jazz bar-has garnered attention online,with a viral video highlighting their doppelganger status. The show will also reveal a heartwarming gift exchange between Hong Yun-hwa and Kim Gura,following Kim Gura’s previous gift of a Lamborghini to his daughter.
Hong Yun-hwa attributed her weight loss to a desire to improve her health after sustaining a cruciate ligament injury during a wrestling show. She detailed her unique diet, admitting a craving for salty, sweet, and savory foods, and shared photos of her unconventional recipes. The weight loss ultimately led to the Disney casting offer, though she jokingly noted the role was for a princess from “Fat Country.”
Beyond her physical transformation, Hong Yun-hwa has also re-entered the music scene, achieving a spot on the Trot chart with her food-themed song, “Gogi Gogi.” Her appearance on “Radio Star” promises a blend of humor and sincerity, offering viewers a glimpse into her multifaceted career and personal journey.
