Hong Hyun-hee Shares Her Journey Towards a 'Managed Life,' Admits Sweat Was Mostly from Hot Food

Comedienne Hong Hyun-hee is resonating with fans by revealing her daily life as she practices a 'managed lifestyle.'

A video titled 'Actress Hong Hyun-hee's Management Methods' was uploaded to her YouTube channel, 'Hong Hyun-hee & Jason's Hong-seun TV,' on the 19th. In the clip, Hong Hyun-hee shared her honest thoughts on consistent self-care, evoking both laughter and touching moments.

She expressed her admiration for people who consistently manage themselves as they age and explained her recent decision to restart Pilates. Hong Hyun-hee confessed, "I used to often sign up for 10 sessions but only attend half and let it fizzle out." She added, "This time, the studio director told me, 'Experience completing something to the end,' and said they wouldn't charge for the remaining classes." Hearing this made her reflect on her own life.

She also recounted an episode about skin care. "Wanting to be like Song Hye-kyo and Jun Ji-hyun, I impulsively signed up for a dermatology program, but I couldn't stick to it," she admitted. With her signature humor, she shared a piece of advice: "I tried a three-day fasting diet, but on the first day of reintroducing food, I ate jokbal (pig's trotters), and immediately broke out."

Furthermore, Hong Hyun-hee highlighted her dietary habits as a key to her management. "Before eating carbohydrates, I consume protein first. So, I always carry three boiled eggs with me," she said. "This helps me feel full and eat less. I believe I'll be able to show the results of my efforts around March next year," she confidently stated.

However, she didn't shy away from self-reflection. "I've been consistently eating for 40 years, and I disliked myself for trying to lose weight in just a few days," she lamented. "When I had to stop running because of knee pain, I realized the only times I truly broke a sweat were when I was eating piping hot food," she confessed with self-deprecating humor, drawing laughter.

Hong Hyun-hee married interior designer Jason in 2017, and they welcomed their son, Joon-beom, in 2021. In addition to her broadcast activities, she actively engages with fans through her YouTube channel, 'Hong Hyun-hee & Jason's Hong-seun TV.' Recently, she has been appearing in various programs such as MBC's 'Must Escape.'
