PETALING JAYA, May 15 — The sweet sounds of K-pop music have been helping one overweight man achieve his fitness goals.
A Twitter user by the name of Wawan shared the past seven months of his weight loss journey in a video where he showed off his dance moves to the song Fine by Taeyeon from Girls’ Generation.
