Kim Hee-sun reveals blunt secret to youthful looks, citing cosmetic procedures

Actress Kim Hee-sun revealed the secret to her youthful beauty, which makes it difficult to believe she is 50 years old, through her signature candid wit. After flustering Yoo Jae-suk with a blunt response suggesting she undergoes cosmetic procedures, she also spoke openly about her methods for managing stress and how she handles interpersonal relationships. In particular, when asked how she deals with people when she gets angry, she gave a decisive answer of "cutting them off in my heart," revealing her cool personality.

During the 352nd episode of the MBC variety program Hangout with Yoo, which aired on the 14th, Yoo Jae-suk, Haha, Heo Kyung Hwan, and Joo Woo-jae met Kim Hee-sun to recruit her as an MC for the 95 MBC Seoul Song Festival. During the meeting, Kim Hee-sun received continuous praise for her ageless appearance and unchanging beauty. The cast members expressed their admiration, saying she "defies time," "really doesn't age," and "it's amazing how she looks exactly the same as now."

As the compliments continued, Kim Hee-sun reacted with a sigh of modesty. However, the members did not back down easily. Following high praise that she "would likely take first place even if she debuted now," interest naturally turned toward her beauty management secrets. The cast members asked her to share just one secret, wondering about the daily maintenance routines of Kim Hee-sun, who maintains her glamorous beauty even at age 50.

Kim Hee-sun's answer was much more honest than expected. She bluntly stated, "I get procedures," which left Yoo Jae-suk speechless. Laughter erupted on set at her overly unvarnished response to the question about beauty management. Kim Hee-sun immediately corrected herself by saying, "I mean I would do them again," and added, "I don't think I get stressed easily." She then created a pleasant atmosphere by asking the cast, "Is this how I'm supposed to answer?"

Stating that she indeed does not get stressed easily, Kim Hee-sun compared her lifestyle to "Cinderella." She revealed, "I am Cinderella. I don't stay up past 12 o'clock. I try not to hold onto stress for a long time." Her explanation is that rather than clinging to emotions late into the night, her way of managing herself is to go to bed early and not accumulate stress over long periods. She drew attention by openly sharing not only her beauty methods but also her attitude toward managing emotions and her life rhythm.

Her straightforward personality continued during questions regarding interpersonal relationships. When asked how she releases anger, she gave a short and firm answer: "I don't see them." Upon hearing this, Heo Kyung Hwan asked, "If that person makes a mistake, is it a matter of cutting them off like this?" to which Kim Hee-sun emphasized once more, "Cutting them off in my heart." The cast could not hide their surprise at the answer, which is interpreted as settling the relationship within her own mind rather than expressing emotions directly to the other person.

Born in 1976, Kim Hee-sun is 50 years old this year. She married businessman Park Ju-yeong in 2007 and has a daughter, Park Yeon-a. While she consistently draws attention for her appearance that defies time, this broadcast once again proved her wit is as bold as her beauty, as she revealed everything from her honest comments on procedures to her lifestyle of not holding onto stress and her way of settling relationships in her heart.
