A Korean celebrity candidly revealed the side effects she suffered as someone who quit smoking after regularly having three packs a day.
On July 15th, a video titled “※Legendary Story Birth※ Kim Sook ‘How could you confuse the patient when visiting the hospital..’ The World’s Dumbest Acts Everyone Has Done” was released on YouTube.
In the video, Kim Sook recalled, “I gained 8kg in just one month after quitting smoking,” in response to a story about someone who gained 10kg after three months of quitting.
She added, “For the first time, I even got bruises on my arms. When I suddenly gained weight and wore suits all day, there were spiral-shaped bruises on the inside of my elbows,” explaining, “It’s because of the weight gain. The clothes left reddish streaks like lines. Anyone who’s gained weight knows—it’s like tiny blood vessels burst and caused bruises.”
Kim Sook, who survived on chocolate and candy to help quit smoking, said, “I usually weighed around 49 to 50kg, but after quitting smoking, my appetite increased.” She joked, “If this person gained 10kg in three months, they actually managed it well,” drawing laughter.
