Netizens were in shock.

The press conference for the upcoming Disney+ original series Low Life was held in Seoul on July 8.
In particular, actor Yang Se Jong garnered much attention on online community sites for looking almost unrecognizable in the press photos.
The post garnered over 47,000 views and 340 comments from netizens who couldn’t hide their shock.
Some also showed concern as his tired face made him look unwell.
Some also felt that his weight gain contributed to his overall image.
This comes as a shock considering this is how he used to look like this in 2023 during the filming of Doona!
His changed image received a negative response from netizens.
- “I wonder what tasted so good.”
- “Are you sure he isn’t sick..?”
- “His image is his job…wish he would work on himself.”
- “Aside from his face…he just doesn’t look healthy.”
- “I don’t think he gained weight from not working out…I think it’s because of drinking. Not everyone gains weight like that when sick and can’t move. He probably just ate without dieting. Male actors are living the easy life.”
- “I fell for him while watching ‘Doona!’, but I lost interest after seeing that he couldn’t maintain his weight. His visuals were great before the military…he had the face Koreans love. Oh, so couldn’t exercise because he hurt his ankle? He was the type who loved boxing and exercise….I thought he would rise to fame after the military…didn’t think his visuals would change this much.”
