Top K-Drama Actress Reveals How She Maintained Her 49kg (108 lbs) Body

Actress Park Joo Hyun opened up about the struggles actresses face when it comes to dieting. On the August 22 broadcast of tvN’s variety show Iron Girl Squad 2, the competition weight classes were decided for participants UEE, Geum Sae Rok, Park Joo Hyun, and Seol In Ah. The categories were divided into -51kg, -54kg, -57kg, and -60kg, with the rule that failing the weigh-in would result in immediate disqualification. This made it crucial for each participant to carefully choose the class they would compete in.

Park Joo Hyun, who stands 166cm tall (5 “44), revealed her weight as 53kg (116 lbs) currently. The coaches advised her to pick the -51kg weight level and work on dieting.

Park Joo-hyun admitted that just a few months ago, she managed to shed enough pounds to hit the category. She weighed a mere 49kg (108 lbs) then. However, the methods that she had to use were unhealthy.

“Two or three months ago, I was 49kg while filming. But that wasn’t from exercising — it was from not exercising and not eating.”

A coach commented that Park Joo Hyun seemed to pick at her food, especially avoiding carbohydrates.

It truly does take a whole lot of dedication to remain as picture perfect as celebrities!
