  • Actor Lee Jae-wook clarified that he is not a "light eater" as suggested by a viral clip.
  • He explained that he was limiting his food intake during filming for a YouTube video.
  • The clarification came during an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Bobunyoung'.

South Korean actor Lee Jae-wook has addressed speculation that he is a "light eater," clarifying that his seemingly small portions were due to specific circumstances during a filming session.

The discussion arose during an appearance on the YouTube channel 'Bobunyoung,' where host Park Eun-young questioned the actor about a clip suggesting he ate a single snack over three days. Lee Jae-wook explained that this was not a reflection of his usual eating habits.

"I can eat a lot if I set my mind to it," Lee Jae-wook stated, refuting the "light eater" label. He attributed his restrained consumption during the filming of the 'Bobunyoung' video to the specific context of the shoot, implying he was deliberately moderating his intake for the content.

The clarification aims to correct a misconception that gained traction online, with the actor emphasizing his ability to consume normal or even larger quantities of food when not constrained by filming requirements.

I can eat a lot if I set my mind to it.
