Photo | YouTube Broadcaster Kim Sook has revealed that she gained 8 kg in just one month after successfully quitting smoking. On the 15th, a video titled "※A Legendary Story Is Born※ Kim Sook 'Why would you confuse the patient when you go to visit someone in the hospital...' The Ultimate Foolishness Contest Everyone Has at Least Once" was uploaded to the YouTube channel VIVO TV. That day, Kim Sook drew attention when she responded to a story about someone gaining 10 kg three months after quitting smoking by saying, "I gained 8 kg just one month after quitting," and added, "For the first time, I got bruises on my arms." The bruises were caused by tight clothes after she put on weight. She explained, "If I wear something like a suit and stay in it all day, I get spiral-shaped bruises on the inside of my elbows. The clothes left red lines on my skin. It bruised as if the capillaries had burst." She said snacks were to blame for the weight gain. "I usually weighed 49 to 50 kg, but I gained 8 kg in just a month. My appetite increased after quitting smoking," she explained, saying chocolate and candy led to the sudden weight gain. She also drew attention by saying she would "open a no-smoking school" during a phone call with Mirage, one of the entertainment industry's best-known smokers. "I used to smoke three packs a day. I'm someone who knows exactly when to smoke, so a person like me should be the one designing the program," she said, expressing confidence in her success.
