Actor Kim Sung-ryoung reveals everything from the secret behind her preservative-like beauty that defies time to the humiliating 'hunting' episode she experienced at a university festival.
Radio Star, which airs at 10:30 p.m. on the 15th on MBC, is presented as a special titled "Da~ sib-eob-bbuseuyo~ big eaters" featuring Kim Sung-ryoung, Yunho, Heo Kyunghwan and Pungja. In particular, Kim Sung-ryoung, who has recently drawn the MZ generation's attention as old videos of her have been picked up by online algorithms, appears to show off her wit.
In a recent recording, Kim Sung-ryoung candidly shared her thoughts about maintaining a perfect visual that leads some viewers who see old videos and photos to mistake them for her current appearance. She said she was embarrassed because the video titles emphasized her age, smiling shyly, and expressed gratitude for the public's cross-generational interest.
Above all, when praised as naturally beautiful, Kim Sung-ryoung drew attention by saying, "Height is innate, but the rest can be achieved through effort." She said she works out five times a week and has consistently done Pilates and yoga for more than five years each, and confessed a "true big eater" side—despite having a hearty breakfast the morning of the recording, she still readily finished hotteok and walnut pastries—surprising the studio, according to reports.
The anecdote that she visits beauty expos every year to buy and test new products so she doesn't miss trends makes it easy to understand why she is still regarded as a "wannabe goddess."
Meanwhile, Kim Sung-ryoung recently confessed an embarrassing episode when she visited a university festival and tried her first-ever "hunting" to mingle with young people. She asked fellow actor Ha Jiwon to approach someone on her behalf because she couldn't do it herself, but the students did not recognize her, so she turned away bitterly, sharing a bittersweet behind-the-scenes story that left the set in laughter.
She also recounts a dizzying episode from the Cannes Film Festival, when high-priced jewelry caused her to receive tight security from a dedicated bodyguard and she accidentally got into the wrong car, flipping the scene upside down, as well as the dramatic behind-the-scenes story of how she came close to being crowned Miss Korea in 1988.
She also reveals a realistic mother-and-children talk in which her two sons, whenever they meet, argue that "I inherited more of mom's good genes," fighting over appearance shares, and she vents disappointment at her sons who habitually read messages without replying but respond immediately when the topic of "allowance" comes up, a remark sure to spark all Korean mothers' sympathy.
