Park Min-young regains healthy glow after extreme 37kg weight loss

As actress Park Min-young's past extreme weight loss of 37kg for a drama is spotlighted once again, her recent appearance, which looks much healthier, is drawing warm reactions from fans. Since many expressed concern for her health due to the extreme weight loss for her role, her recent natural appearance is receiving positive feedback.

Recently, a post titled 'Celebrities who look better after gaining weight' was uploaded to an online community, sharing photos comparing Park Min-young's past and present looks.

In the tvN drama 'Marry My Husband' broadcast last year, Park Min-young underwent massive weight loss to play the role of Kim Ji-won, who is diagnosed with a terminal illness. At the time, she drew significant attention by revealing that she reduced her weight to 37kg to realistically portray the character's frail physical state.

On screen during the broadcast, Park Min-young showed a sharp jawline with almost no facial fat and a gaunt physique. While she was praised for her high level of immersion and professional attitude, there were also many voices worrying about her health.

At the time, fans expressed concern, reacting with comments such as, "Her acting is great, but I'm more worried about her health," "She looks so thin it's heartbreaking," "I hope she takes care of her health first," and "I know she worked hard for the project, but I hope she doesn't overdo it."

In fact, following the release of the work, Park Min-young personally mentioned the difficult weight loss process through various interviews.

Recently, the atmosphere has shifted as she revealed a much more comfortable and healthy appearance through her social media (SNS). While she still maintains a slim physique, her naturally fuller cheeks and vibrant complexion caught people's eyes, and her overall regained sense of stability drew praise from fans.

Upon seeing this, netizens left supportive comments such as, "She looks best right now," "I can feel her healthy glow," "She looks much more natural and pretty now that she's gained a little weight," "Health is the most important thing for an actor," and "I hope she doesn't do extreme dieting anymore."

Previously, Park Min-young appeared on the YouTube content 'Salon Drip' and revealed behind-the-scenes stories of an underwater action scene filmed during her state of extreme weight loss.

Regarding the underwater scene in the drama, she explained, "It was a scene where I dove into the water without an oxygen mask to pull out the other actor," adding, "I filmed it myself without a stunt double."

She recalled, "I swam toward the dimly lit lights, and the moment I came up above the water, I was truly breathless. Because I was in a state of significant weight loss and had to wear heavy safety equipment, the speed at which I rose to the surface was much slower than I expected."

Park Min-young drew laughter when she said, "At that moment, I felt once again that the profession of an actor is by no means easy. I thought I was a good swimmer, but after that shoot, I stopped saying 'I'm a good swimmer' so carelessly."

As such, Park Min-young, who endured changes close to her physical limits for her works, has been praised for her high character immersion in every project. However, recently, her appearance of having recovered her health is receiving more positive responses from the public than her extreme weight loss.

While cases of celebrities significantly increasing or decreasing weight in a short period for a project continue in the entertainment industry, social interest in the importance of health management is also rising. Park Min-young's recent update serves as an opportunity to demonstrate an actor's self-management and passion for their work, while also reaffirming the fans' wish that, above all, continuing activities in a healthy state is what matters most.
