Actor Park Jung-hoon revealed behind-the-scenes stories of maintaining his weight for 40 years.
On the afternoon of the 4th, a press conference was held at Jeongdong 1928 Art Center on Deoksugung-gil in Jung-gu, Seoul, to commemorate the publication of Park Jung-hoon's essay collection 'Don't regret.' The event, hosted by pianist and writer Moon Ah-ram, was arranged as a time for Park Jung-hoon to speak candidly about the book.
Park Jung-hoon is meeting readers with 'Don't regret,' which was published on the 29th of last month. 'Don't regret' is an essay that reflects on more than 40 years of his acting career and his life as a person, Park Jung-hoon.
Born in 1966, Park Jung-hoon is 59 this year. He boasts an ageless look that is hard to believe for a middle-aged man approaching his 60th birthday. In fact, his profile lists him at 178 cm and 68 kg. Since his debut in 1986, he has maintained a consistent appearance for 40 years.
When asked about the secret to his youthful appearance, Park Jung-hoon said, "I undergo general maintenance. I don't have surgery. Basically, I exercise a lot. You may not believe it, but I exercise at least five times a week, up to seven, for three hours a day. From entering the gym and stretching to strength training and cardio, the time spent is three hours. Then it can't go wrong," he said confidently.
He said, "Skin is what your parents gave you, but making the best of your innate body is exercise. Also, I eat two meals a day. I eat very meticulously calculated meals. I count calories, but also balance protein and fresh vegetables and such combinations. When I meet friends and eat junk food, I make sure to have a very good meal right before that," and added with a laugh, "Another thing I pat myself on the back for is that for 40 years without missing a day I weigh myself when I wake up. Then I can tell how I lived yesterday."
Above all, Park Jung-hoon said, "As an actor I manage my appearance, but the mind must be healthy. You have to exercise to be normal. Two to three hours a day keeps you mentally healthy. Especially thanks to my father, I never dyed my hair. My father did not have gray hair until he passed away," he said, prompting surprise.
