Broadcaster Kim Ji-yeon, a former Miss Korea "Jin," shared an update that her weight has increased significantly.
On the 3rd, Kim Ji-yeon appeared on content on the official YouTube channel of "Juvis Diet" and said she is learning to work as an insurance planner. She added, "My income was 0 won, and the money I had was also 0 won, so I wondered, 'What should I do with just my body?' and started doing deliveries, which later became my full-time job." She continued, "As I did delivery work for a long time, my knees, which hadn't hurt before, started to hurt, and while thinking about what I could do without skills, I chose to become an insurance planner."
Kim said, "This is personal, but as my former boyfriend's business struggled, I have spent years trying to resolve it," adding, "It's not just a few hundred million won but tens of billions of won."
Kim said, "If broadcasting had been steady, I think I would have gotten back up easily," noting that the industry wanted a glamorous image, but at the time I was very rough, puffy, and in pain. Even on home shopping, where I had been doing well, I heard several times, 'It would be nice if you could just lose a little weight,' which became a source of stress.
With irregular meals and sleep and spending more time sitting, her weight increased to 75 kilograms. "When the external change came, I was fine, but it felt like people around me were handing down a death sentence," she said. She added, "Now I want to find the courage again and succeed at a diet not to show anyone, but to be healthy for myself."
Kim Ji-yeon debuted as Miss Korea Jin in 1997 and later became known through drama, films, and home shopping. She married actor Lee Se-chang in 2003 and divorced in 2013.
