"I just lived one day at a time." Actor Han Go-eun confessed the mental management secret that helped her endure menopause.
On the 12th, Han Go-eun posted a video titled "The one truly important criterion for choosing a spouse, as told by Han Go-eun who succeeded in marrying at 41" on her personal YouTube channel. In the released video, Han Go-eun celebrated surpassing 100,000 subscribers on her YouTube channel and held a Q&A answering questions from fans.
Among various questions, there were many about tips for enduring menopause. That is because Han Go-eun, born in 1975 and 51 this year, recently confessed to experiencing menopausal symptoms. As a result, questions poured in about how Han Go-eun endured menopause, which brings significant physical and emotional changes due to hormones, including dieting and mental management.
Han Go-eun said, "One of the symptoms of menopause is that belly fat increases," and emphasized, "I started this recently, it's been two weeks: I juice 1kg of lemon and 500g of lime, add a spoonful each of turmeric and cinnamon, freeze it in an ice tray. Every morning I put this into hot water and when it dissolves it becomes lukewarm water. I swirl a ring of honey in it and drink one cup on an empty stomach in the morning and another before bed. I lost 1kg that wouldn't come off."
She also said, "Nothing works as much as sitting up straight," and revealed an extreme diet management tip: "When I manage my diet strictly, I put only vinegar on salad without dressing. When I want a little more flavor I put balsamic on it."
Especially when a subscriber asked about mental management during menopause, Han Go-eun said, "It wasn't easy for me either to endure it," and cautiously added, "I worried that someone who is really struggling might have asked this question." Still, she encouraged subscribers enduring menopause with her, saying, "This is how I think. I lived one day at a time. I thought if the sun rises tomorrow morning, something good will surely happen," which moved listeners.
In fact, Han Go-eun has confessed to various menopausal symptoms through her personal YouTube channel, revealed physical changes, and voiced her difficulties. Previously, when she met broadcaster Jang Young-ran and her husband, a Korean medicine doctor, she candidly confessed daily life, saying, "Menopause has started recently. I sweat a lot and then get chills when it cools down," and, "My husband bought supplements and when I took them I felt somewhat better, but when I stopped the symptoms returned," which resonated with middle-aged women.
Han Go-eun, who debuted as a model and until recently maintained a weight of 52kg, evoking a lifestyle that makes one forget her age with unchanged beauty, moved the public with her candid confessions and reached 100,000 subscribers. Now even menopause, which she calls "a companion menopause," is being naturally overcome, and her next steps showing this life draw empathy and support from fans.
