It's not unusual for stars in the entertainment business to lose or gain a lot of weight to play different roles on TV.

Park Min Young, who is the subject of our conversation today, has done this before. In particular, Park Min Young purposely kept her weight at 37 kg (81.6 lbs) for her current role in the TVN drama "Marry My Husband." Because of her character, Kang Ji Won, who is shown to have cancer early on in the story, this choice was made. To really show that she was a patient, Park Min Young set out on a strict weight loss journey.

Many people are also shocked by the ways that Park Min Young sticks to her diet. Along with other things, she cut down on the food she ate and relied on ion drinks.

Has Park Min Young really gotten the look she wanted? In fact, a lot of his fans are worried about how she looks in this work; she looks old and thin right away. Her story shows that extreme dieting, like severely limiting the amount of food you eat, can have many negative effects on your health. The weight may change in the short term, but the long-term risks include losing muscle, hair, and going to the bathroom less often.

One interesting thing to note is that losing muscle mass can cause your baseline metabolic rate to drop. So, it's easy for even a small amount of food to make you gain weight.

Park Min Young has made it clear that she "absolutely does not recommend" this way of dieting. In response to her fans' worries, she said, "Being my age, I also had doubts about whether I could put so much passion into the character." She also said, "For the last time, I decided to give it my all with the thought of really committing to it with great determination."

Park Min Young recently lost weight for a project. This isn't the first time she's tried to change her weight in this way.
She has always taken care of herself to get in shape so that her body fits perfectly with the roles she plays in different works. What makes this case unique, though, is the fact that healthy methods were used to achieve a notable success.

Before, when she was preparing for her part as Kim Mi Soo in the TVN drama "What's Wrong with Secretary Kim," Park Min Young said, "I worked out every day and ate chicken breast to lose body fat and build muscle." Because the role is a secretary, she went to great lengths to perfectly capture the office looks seen in the drama.

IU recently revealed that she watched her own concert film in a public theater, but shockingly, no one recognized her—even when she dropped a hint!

On February 27, a new video featuring IU was released, showing her inside a car on her way to Daejeon.

She excitedly shared, “This is a surprise stage greeting for UAENA! I picked this location through a ladder game when I did stage greetings.”

Previously, IU had let fate decide which city she would visit after her stage greetings. She happily said, “There are UAENAs everywhere I go. Wherever I go, it's a flowery path.” The game ultimately led her to Daejeon.

IU originally hoped to explore the city, saying, “I wanted to visit Daejeon's pride, Sung Sim Dang, and walk around, but my team said it wouldn’t be possible. The lines are too long, and it’s freezing outside.” She sighed, adding, “So, things turned out this way.”

Dressed up for the occasion, IU smiled, saying, “I don’t get to meet UAENAs in Daejeon often, so I wanted to make a surprise appearance looking my best.”

She also joked about enjoying surprise events, adding, “As long as Hanteo oppa drives me safely, I’m happy.”

But what really caught fans' attention was IU’s unexpected confession—she had secretly watched her concert film in a theater, but no one noticed her! “No one recognized me at all. There weren’t that many people, and it was a weekday… but still! I even gave a hint!” she said, sounding both amused and surprised.

Later, when IU finally appeared at the theater, her fans were overwhelmed with emotion. Some even burst into tears, prompting her to gently say, “You really didn’t expect me to come, right?”

After wrapping up her stage greeting, IU laughed at herself, saying, “Wait, did I just do a 40-minute one-woman show? I must have talked so much.”

On her way back to Seoul, IU reflected on the day, sharing, “It was so cold today. I shook hands with all the UAENAs. My hands are usually cold, and since the weather was freezing, I think I made a lot of people’s hands cold, too. But after touching so many warm hands, mine became warm, too. I still haven’t washed them.”

Her love for her fans truly knows no bounds!
