Actor Shin Dong-wook, who has been fighting a rare disease, shared a healthy update with his fans.

On the 14th, Shin Dong-wook posted photos on his account with the caption, “The place where I ate as much pho as I wanted and gained 3kg.”

Shin Dong-wook looks relaxed against an exotic backdrop. He caught everyone’s attention with a bright smile while sitting on the ground with a camera around his neck, and a playful update from the dining table saying, “Had two bowls of pho since morning and got a blood sugar spike.”

Seeing this, actress Go Hyun-jung expressed her delight by leaving a comment saying, “Wow.” Shin Dong-wook also showed his positive side by joking, “But I have to stop eating,” in response to a fan’s comment: “Oppa, when will you appear in a drama again? It’s okay if you don’t, as long as you stay healthy and eat well.”
