Actress Jang Yoon-ju Declines Modeling Comeback Offers: 'I Can't Lose Over 5kg with This Stamina'

Top model-turned-actress Jang Yoon-ju (46) is making headlines for firmly rejecting offers to return to modeling, declaring her own lifestyle.

In a recent YouTube vlog titled ‘Model Mom and Wife Jang Yoon-ju's New York Vlog’ on her channel ‘YOONJOUR’, Jang Yoon-ju shared her honest feelings. She revealed, “After ‘You Quiz on the Block’, I received many DMs asking if I’d consider returning to modeling. But I don’t have the confidence.”

She emphasized, “I don’t want to live anymore by dieting drastically, losing over 5kg and maintaining it with this stamina.” While many still wish for her return, she made it clear that she has made a realistic choice, stating, “I want to live stylishly within what I have.”

Jang Yoon-ju, who debuted as a model in 1997 and became a leading top model in Korea, later ventured into acting with the film ‘Veteran’ in 2015 and has since solidified her acting career with roles in dramas like ‘Queen of Tears’. She calmly reflected on her past, saying, “I used to have regrets about New York, but now I have none.” She also clarified that “This trip is focused on me as a mother and a wife,” highlighting her prioritization of family.

Despite her illustrious career, her current values prioritize family, and her decision to choose a healthy and happy life over maintaining a perfect physique is the true charm of the 46-year-old. Her dedication to living fully in the present, rather than dwelling on past glories, offers courage and resonance to many.

Fellow celebrities and netizens are cheering on Jang Yoon-ju's decision, with comments like, “Your honesty is the best,” “Your current self is the most beautiful,” and “It’s admirable how you focus on the present.”
