Guesting with Girls' Generation's YoonA to hype their new movie Pretty Crazy, Ahn took viewers on a tour of his refrigerator — filled with weight-loss foods such as chicken breast, oatmeal, and whole wheat pasta.

"I love desserts and bread," Ahn confessed. "When I was in the military, I used to eat 16 'Choco Pie' cakes a day and 24 'Oh Yes' cakes a day. Thankfully, I finally found low-calorie konjac bread."

The biggest shocker came when he revealed his position regarding fried chicken, a popular Korean dish enjoyed countrywide.

"I actually... just don't like chicken," he replied.

"I've never once ordered fried chicken in my life. I mean, if I have friends coming over, I'll order it for them, but I really dislike chicken.

I only eat chicken breast because I have to. I have a set diet of 200 grams of rice with eight packs of chicken breast."

Ahn consumes the plain chicken breast as part of a strict daily diet to keep his physique.

"Because of my love for desserts and bread, I need to keep a strict diet," he said, adding that this balance is the only means by which he can indulge occasionally.

The admission stunned both the studio and internet fans alike, considering fried chicken's almost universal appeal in Korea.

As one chef who had heard hi set put it, "Now I understand why you wouldn't want any more chicken in your life."
