Jo Hye-ryun transforms after losing 8kg and quitting smoking and drinking

Broadcaster Jo Hye-ryun has revealed her recent transformation after successfully quitting both alcohol and smoking and losing 8kg. Seeing her much healthier appearance, her close friend Lee Seong-mi could not hide her surprise, saying, "You've become truly beautiful."

On the 27th, a video titled "Why does she live so relentlessly... The reason Lee Seong-mi prayed while watching Jo Hye-ryun" was posted on the YouTube channel 'Lee Seong-mi's Cannot Go.'

During the appearance, Jo introduced her changed lifestyle, stating, "I am now living a completely different life than before. I quit drinking and I quit smoking. I am also trying to reduce my coffee intake. I try not to do things that are bad for my body."

She continued, "I don't put just anything into my body," and shared that she successfully lost 8kg, adding, "That's why I've become this slim."

Watching this, Lee marveled, "Hye-ryun, you have become truly beautiful," while Jo laughed and recalled the past, saying, "In the past, I would even smoke in front of you, Unnie."

The two also reminisced about the days they spent together. Jo reenacted those times, saying, "I used to say, 'Unnie, I'll be right back after one cigarette,' and then I would drink alcohol and smoke." Lee agreed, noting, "Jo Hye-ryun was truly someone who never stopped drinking and dancing."

Looking back at those days, Jo confessed that her actions stemmed from an emptiness in her heart.

"I was always lonely. So I would gather people to have parties and spend time going to karaoke," she revealed. "There was always something inside me that could not be filled."

She continued, "No matter how much I worked, I couldn't be satisfied. I constantly pushed myself, thinking, 'Lee Seong-mi is an MC for big programs, so what am I doing right now?'"

She candidly explained, "Because I couldn't be satisfied with reality, I drank alcohol and smoked to forget that deficiency."

Jo also confessed that she could not easily overcome the emptiness in her heart even during her religious life.

She recalled, "When I worked hard but didn't get the desired results, I would get angry. I didn't even think that drinking and smoking were particularly wrong, and I didn't find it strange to go see fortune tellers because I was curious about the future."

Currently, having completely changed her lifestyle to focus on health, she has transformed into a much brighter and healthier version of herself by successfully losing 8kg through consistent exercise and diet management.
