Han So-hee Reveals Boxing as Secret to Maintaining Physique After Dramatic Weight Fluctuations

Actress Han So-hee has opened up about the demanding physical transformations she undergoes for her roles and the methods she employs to maintain her figure. In a recent appearance on the YouTube channel 'Chamonggeul,' she discussed her favorite foods, admitting a strong preference for Korean staples like ramen and kimchi stew.

“

I'm completely a Korean food person. I can't live without noodles and rice.

However, Han So-hee revealed the significant toll these roles have taken on her body. She shared that for her role in the drama 'My Name,' she intentionally gained 15 kilograms. This was followed by a rapid weight loss for her subsequent project, 'Nevertheless.' This drastic fluctuation has resulted in a lasting side effect: she now experiences indigestion if she eats beyond a certain amount.

“

I gained 15 kg for the filming of 'My Name.' Then came 'Nevertheless,' and I lost weight rapidly. Since then, I get indigestion if I eat more than a certain amount.

When asked about her secret to staying in shape, Han So-hee was unequivocal: "It's all about exercise." She specifically highlighted boxing as her main form of physical activity, expressing genuine enjoyment during her boxing sessions. She advised that exercise should be approached with passion rather than as a chore, a sentiment that playfully disappointed the show's host, Lee Young-ji, who had hoped for a more unconventional answer.
