Model Han Hye Jin revealed that she burst into tears after receiving a wave of support from the public following her weight confession.
On May 13, a video titled “I prepared a meal friend, dishwashing friend!” was uploaded to her YouTube channel, ‘Han Hye Jin Han Hye Jin.’ In the video, Han Hye Jin enjoyed a webfoot octopus party with entertainers Pungja and Um Ji Yoon.
The highlight of the video was Han Hye Jin’s honest thoughts on her weight. Known as the “God of Self-Management” for her strict diet and exercise routine, she shared, “In a camping episode on my YouTube channel, I confessed that I hit 60kg for the first time in my life.” She added, “People commented that I look much better now. I was so moved by the encouraging comments saying that after 30 years of modeling, it’s okay to gain a bit of weight, and I actually cried.”
Having recently lost weight again, Han Hye Jin spoke about the ongoing struggles of being a model. She mentioned starting tennis, saying, “I walk 12km round trip to the tennis court and exercise for an hour. I’m spending a total of three hours a day to get rid of toxins and fat.” She explained the practical reason why she can’t stop managing her weight: “The sample clothes provided by fashion sponsors are too small. They are usually size extra small (XS), and if the clothes don’t fit, I simply can’t wear them.”
