Actress Moon Jung-hee is set to unveil the secrets behind her timeless, youthful beauty on KBS 2TV's 'Celeb's Secret Illness'.

Appearing on the show this Tuesday, the 23rd, Moon Jung-hee will join Professor Jo Young-heon of Korea University's Department of History Education to delve into captivating historical narratives. She vividly recounted the tale of the tomb of Empress Dowager Cixi, a pivotal figure of power in China's late Qing Dynasty, being unearthed and the discovery of a luminous pearl, the 'night-shining pearl,' found in her mouth.

Expressing her fondness for the program, Moon Jung-hee shared, "I was so excited when I received the offer to appear on a show I love so much." MC Lee Chan-won echoed her enthusiasm, stating, "I also came to work with an excited heart. I'm a true fan," fostering a warm atmosphere. Lee Chan-won playfully remarked about her ageless appearance, "I almost called you 'Jung-hee-ya' the first time we met," while 'Doctor MC' Lee Nak-joon expressed surprise, asking, "Are you older than me?"

Amidst the flood of compliments, Moon Jung-hee humbly responded, "I can't say I look young... but I want to live youthfully." She then pinpointed 'sleep management' as the key to her youthful looks, a revelation that surprised Jang Do-yeon, who noted, "That's something Mr. Lee Nak-joon always talks about."

Moon Jung-hee further piqued curiosity by suggesting, "We'll be able to explore what Empress Dowager Cixi did for her eternal beauty, looking into her health, skin, and diet management." 'Celeb's Secret Illness,' an innovative medical storytelling entertainment show that uncovers the hidden lives and deaths of historical celebrities, will air its Empress Dowager Cixi episode on Tuesday, the 23rd, at 8:30 PM on KBS 2TV and will also be available on Wavve.

She has garnered recognition for her impactful performances in numerous thrillers and dramas, including 'Hide and Seek,' 'Deranged,' and 'The Phone.' Recently, she has showcased her versatile acting skills in diverse projects such as the dramas 'Beyond Evil' and 'Link: Eat, Love, Kill.'
