Actress Park Min-young is once again raising concerns among fans with her extremely thin physique.
On the afternoon of the 1st, a production presentation for TV Chosun’s new weekend drama ‘Confidence Man KR’ was held at the Stanford Hotel Korea in Sangam-dong, Mapo-gu, Seoul. Park Min-young appeared in a nude-toned slim dress, highlighting her delicate S-line with her body line fully revealed.
However, she appeared too thin. There was barely any extra flesh to be seen. The cute cheeks of Park Min-young from her ‘High Kick’ days were gone, and her shoulder bones were so pronounced that it caused viewers to worry.
In January of the previous year, Park Min-young faced health speculation when she appeared in the tvN drama ‘Marry My Husband.’ She had lost weight to 37kg to portray Kang Ji-won, a character living her second life and facing a terminal illness. At the time, Park stated, “There was an important point not to take lightly, so I deliberated on how to express this and gathered as much information as possible. Losing weight healthily didn’t give the right feel. While I don’t recommend it to anyone, I managed by eating little and sustaining myself on sports drinks during filming,” she explained.
She added, “Actually, gaining weight is more difficult for me because my stomach has shrunk so much. But with a joyful heart, considering my age, I wondered when I’d again have the opportunity to fully devote myself to a character with such passion, so I went all out this time, even if it felt like a last-ditch effort.”
With her new drama, Park Min-young has returned to the screen with a similarly slender appearance. Her new role is that of Yoon Yi-rang, a genius scam leader with an IQ of 165, ranking in the top 1%. Despite transforming into a daring character in this ‘caper film,’ her thin appearance drew additional concern.
Meanwhile, ‘Confidence Man KR’ is about three con artists with versatile abilities who embark on a revenge spree against the villains of this era. It promises an exciting storyline that cleverly exploits the loopholes in the social system while heralding the advent of a ‘K-caper film’ that amusingly bends the conventions of the traditional crime genre.
