Singer and actress Uhm Jung-hwa surprised everyone with her meticulous self-care.
On the 4th, KBS1's Morning Yard segment "With the famous one" featured guests from the movie "OK! MADAM 2": Uhm Jung-hwa, Park Sung-woong and Bae Jung-nam.
That day Uhm Jung-hwa revealed her physical age was in her 30s, shocking viewers. She said, "I haven't had a test recently. For several years I've been on a strict diet avoiding carbohydrates and sugar for a long time, and because of that my body definitely got much, much better. So when I had blood tests and physical exams my age kept getting younger, and when I had one last year they asked how far it could improve. It went to the early 30s," she explained.
In response, announcer Um Ji-in asked, "How do you usually manage yourself?" and Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I manage my diet like that and these days I mostly eat one meal a day. I have a little protein in the morning and sometimes eat in the evening or in between. I take vitamins properly, and when I wake up I don't drink coffee first; I drink warm water with salt, lemon, lemon tea and olive oil. I used to crave things like sugar, but if you practice not eating them you stop craving them. I drastically reduce sugar and carbohydrates," she said.
She also confessed frankly, "Today there was cake outside so I ate it," which drew laughter. Announcer Park Cheol-gyu asked, "Isn't it hard to be that restrained while active? Is there a reason you manage yourself that much?" and Uhm Jung-hwa said, "I want to do the work I'm doing now healthily for a long time and keep my body healthy for a long time. That's why I also took on 'OK! MADAM 2'. I exercise consistently," she said.
She also expressed her affection for her pet. Uhm Jung-hwa said, "Walks are needed every day and Super needs to walk for two hours. So I get exercise and because of Super I feel I have to keep myself healthy. I have to keep taking Super for walks. So it's great and it's my treasure that keeps my peace of mind. It's so lovable and I love it so much," she said.
She especially revealed that her pet had actually protected her, saying, "It wasn't just once but many times. I was once sleep-paralyzed and someone has to wake you to get you out of it, right? I couldn't move but suddenly someone woke me. Super woke me twice from under the bed. Once I had a lit candle. It was a small candle that was supposed to go out automatically, but it didn't and the flame flared up. Super barked at me and woke me. Thank you, Super," she said, warming hearts.
