Choi Hwa-jung reveals reason for starting exercise: 'Cosmetic model at 65'

Broadcaster Choi Hwa-jung shared news of her recent selection as a cosmetic model at age 65, revealing her secrets to self-management. Her active lifestyle and sharp sense are drawing renewed attention, especially following recent revelations that she sold her SK Hynix stocks at their peak.

On the 13th, a video titled "The reason why Uhm Jeong-hwa, Hong Jin-kyung, and Choi Hwa-jung haven't fought once in 35 years" was released on Choi's YouTube channel, "Hello, I'm Choi Hwa-jung."

In the video, Choi traveled with Hong Jin-kyung to attend the premiere of the film "Okay! Madam 2," starring her close friend, actress Uhm Jeong-hwa. While discussing her life in the car, Choi shared her recent lifestyle changes, noting that she has started exercising.

"I started because I heard that as you get older, you need lower body strength to walk well, and now that I've found it fun, I'm really excited about it," she said. She explained that her motivation was not simply weight loss, but managing the muscle strength and physical functions that become increasingly important with age.

Indeed, musical actor Kim Ho-young, whom they met at the premiere, was surprised upon seeing Choi, asking, "Noona, why did you lose so much weight?"

Choi replied, "I'm taking PT these days," before offering an even more candid reason. "Actually, I lost weight urgently because I was selected as a cosmetic model," she confessed.

Having been chosen as a model for a cosmetic brand at 65, she has once again dedicated herself to managing her appearance and physique. Her approach of nurturing her current self through steady exercise and lifestyle management, rather than trying to hide her age, is catching eyes.

Choi's influence extends beyond broadcasting and advertising. She recently garnered attention for her remarks regarding stock investments, revealing she sold her SK Hynix stocks at a high point, earning her the nickname "Stock Master."

Having been active in the broadcasting industry for a long time, Choi continues to take on new challenges even in her mid-60s. Whether managing her physical strength through exercise, standing before the camera as a cosmetic model, or sharing her investment decisions, she continues to captivate the public.

Ultimately, what stands out in Choi's recent updates is not merely "appearance management at 65." It is her proactive attitude—learning what is necessary, managing her body, and embracing new opportunities rather than accepting age as a limit. Rather than trying to defy time, Choi's method of constantly renewing herself to match the passage of time is truly impressive.
