Actor Jeon Won-ju dismissed speculation about health problems.
On the 14th, a video titled "Jeon Won-ju, the hotel membership owner even Sunwoo Yong-yeo gave up because it was too expensive!" was uploaded to the 'Jeon Won-ju protagonist' channel.
That day Jeon Won-ju visited a luxury hotel gym that requires a deposit of tens of millions of won and monthly fees of hundreds of thousands of won. Changing into workout clothes, Jeon Won-ju used the gym equipment and easily performed everything from cardio to strength training.
Jeon Won-ju expressed satisfaction, saying "There are so few people here. It's quiet," and the production team mentioned the health rumors, saying "There was an internet article saying people were worried about your health."
Concerns arose because previously released footage of Jeon Won-ju looked somewhat gaunt. In response Jeon Won-ju waved her hand and said, "Yes, it looked gaunt. It just shows up for no reason." When asked, "Doesn't your knee hurt when you walk like this?" she replied, "It's fine. Feels refreshing."
Watching Jeon Won-ju do lower-body exercises, the production team worried, "Aren't you doing too much? Are you okay?" Jeon Won-ju emphasized, "No. I do it 100 times. My legs get stronger. They don't look like old people's legs. Why? Because I do this. As you get older the most important thing is the lower body. Your legs have to be good. They say legs are life. When classmates' gatherings happen I'm the only one walking around. Everyone else comes out leaning on canes. Health isn't something you just get. You have to work for it. You can't just sit still and hope to be healthy."
After finishing her workout, Jeon Won-ju measured her body composition with an InBody. The results showed a weight of 46kg, muscle mass 18.4kg, and body fat 11.2kg, which were all very normal. In addition, BMI was 21.1, body fat percentage 24.2%, and abdominal fat ratio 0.84; the abdominal fat ratio was slightly outside the normal range but overall corresponded to the standard.
A specialist who saw this marveled at Jeon Won-ju's health, saying, "For her age group she is extremely healthy. For someone in her late 80s she is very healthy."
