ATEEZ 's San recently shocked fans by revealing that he only weighed 52 kg when he debuted. This was highlighted on the latest episode of MBC's variety show, The Manager, which aired on October 24, 2026.
In the episode, all ATEEZ members shared behind-the-scenes moments from their busy schedules, and one of the main highlights was San's physical transformation since he stepped into the entertainment world.
San, now known for his muscular build and broad shoulders, revealed that when he first debuted, he had a much slimmer build. According to the show's preview, San weighed just 52 kg when he debuted in ATEEZ.
This impressive transformation earned him the nickname "Grand Duke of the North," a popular Korean phrase often used for fictional characters with strong and imposing physiques.
The episode also showcased how seriously San takes his fitness routine. Even while on a trip to Busan for an awards ceremony, San made time to visit the hotel gym and continue his workout.
The program is expected to reveal his approach to developing and maintaining his chest muscles, which has been a topic of discussion among the other ATEEZ members.
Seonghwa, Wooyoung, and Jongho were seen joining in the fun by placing their hands on San's chest and joking around with his muscles.
They also tried to imitate some of San's habits and workouts, resulting in many hilarious moments. Even a simple piece of toast became part of the joke surrounding San's fitness routine, which they dubbed "San's chest toast."
Beyond these lighthearted interactions, the episode will also highlight the physical demands of ATEEZ's performances. The members are expected to discuss some of the injuries they've sustained while performing, including broken ribs and fingers.
These stories will give viewers a glimpse into the efforts and challenges behind the group's energetic stage performances. However, San's confession about his initial weight remains one of the most surprising moments in the episode.
From just 52 kg at debut to now known for his muscular appearance, San's physical transformation reflects his dedication to maintaining fitness over the years. The ATEEZ member's full appearance on The Manager is scheduled to air on October 24, 2026, at 11:10 p.m. KST on MBC.
