ANSWER: 2.4 kilograms
When you are near someone you are secretly in love with (짝사랑), your heart tends to throb or palpitate, which means your heart tends to beat faster. The pure Korean word for "palpitating," "pitapat," or "throbbing" is 두근두근.
Since 두 is also the pure Korean word for "two," and 근 (斤) is a unit of weight measure that equals 600 grams, then 두근 + 두근 = 4 근, which adds up to 2.4 kilograms (600g x 4), right? So, if you are trying to lose weight, don't fall in love.
