Kim Ji-yeon, who was crowned ‘Miss Korea Jin’ in 1997 and was once considered a symbol of beauty, recently revealed that her weight has increased to 75 kg and declared her intention to go on a diet, drawing public attention. Having debuted as Miss Korea Jin and found success in films, TV dramas, variety shows, and as a show host, Kim faced several challenges that led to a decrease in her activities in the entertainment industry. She is now living a second life as an insurance planner.
However, changes came not just in her career but also in her body, as her weight increased to 75 kg, causing her to lose confidence and face numerous health issues compared to her broadcasting days. She explained that spending long hours driving or sitting led to irregular eating and sleeping habits, resulting in weight gain, joint pain, and even early symptoms of menopause and depression.
Despite trying various diets, she found herself unable to lose a single gram and resorted to wearing only elastic band pants. Realizing she couldn’t tackle this alone, she decided to seek professional help and announced plans to undergo a diet with Juvis.
Kim Ji-yeon expressed her determination to succeed in dieting by saying, “I want to regain my former vitality, confidence, and health through a healthy diet and hope to inspire courage and hope in many others who are grappling with similar concerns.”
