At the height of the popularity of Netflix's "Single's Inferno" Season 1, participant Kim Hyun Joong drew suspicion that he might have used steroids to achieve his muscular body.
The actor went live on Instagram, where fans asked him a bunch of questions regarding his experience with the reality show as well as his personal life.
One fan asked him if he ever used steroids to gain a bigger physique. He answered that he had never used one and explained that he had been working out for 11 years.
"I used to build bigger [muscles], but I innately have weak kidneys, so I'm just maintaining a slim figure," he explained, as noted by a media outlet.
