Bang Si Hyuk, HYBE’s Chairman and legendary producer, caught fans’ attention with a fresh, slimmer appearance while celebrating LE SSERAFIM’s sold-out concert series in Japan.
On June 18, Bang shared a backstage photo from the third day of LE SSERAFIM’s performance at Saitama Super Arena.
Fans noticed his more defined jawline and youthful features, sparking buzz online. Some initially thought the photo might be edited, but the circulation of unedited pictures dispelled these doubts.

Speculation also arose that Bang might have undergone weight-loss treatments like Wegovy, an injectable medication popular among celebrities.
Meanwhile, LE SSERAFIM is gearing up to drop their Japanese single DIFFErent on June 24, featuring the title track, a Japanese version of their hit HOT, and Kawaii (Prod. Gen Hoshino)—the theme song for the Netflix series My Melody & Kuromi.
The group’s Asia tour continues with stops in Taipei, Hong Kong, Manila, Bangkok, and Singapore throughout July and August.
Fans are excited both for Bang Si Hyuk’s transformation and LE SSERAFIM’s growing success on the international stage!
