Bang Si-hyuk Turns Heads With Noticeably Thinner Face at CORTIS Show

HYBE Chairman Bang Si-hyuk, 54, is drawing attention online for his noticeably slimmer look. Photos and videos from his recent visit to a concert by the group CORTIS have been circulating on social media and online communities.

In the images, Bang watches the show in black sunglasses while chatting with someone next to him. The most noticeable change is his thinner face, with much of the fullness in his cheeks gone.

Bang made headlines last year after a visible weight loss. In June, he drew a different kind of attention when he appeared to have gained some of the weight back, prompting speculation of a possible rebound.

Online reactions came in quickly this time. "He looks like half the person he was," one user wrote. Others posted comments like "He lost the weight again in just two months," "Even his nose looks smaller," and "He kind of gives off a Ryu Seung-ryong vibe."

HYBE, the company Bang leads, is home to BTS, TOMORROW X TOGETHER, CORTIS, LE SSERAFIM, and ILLIT.
