OMG, you guys have to see this. A super famous Korean TV personality just dropped the most insane before-and-after photos on her social media, and everyone in Korea is talking about it. We’re talking about Yoon Young-mi, and at 63, she looks like she’s reversed time by a whole decade.
Who is Yoon Young-mi?
First, a little context for my American friends! Yoon Young-mi is a really well-known figure in Korea. She started her career as an announcer for major broadcasting stations like MBC and SBS. Think of a super-respected news anchor who also hosts popular shows—they’re a big deal here and are often seen as role models. So when someone like her makes a dramatic change and is super open about it, it definitely gets a lot of attention.
The “Life Reset” Transformation
On her Instagram, Yoon Young-mi posted a side-by-side comparison of herself from February and another from this month, December. The difference is honestly shocking! She explained that back in the spring, her weight was climbing close to 60kg (about 132 lbs), and she felt that her face looked puffy, her skin was sagging, and her neck wrinkles were prominent. She candidly shared that she felt “so depressed and lethargic” and decided, “I can’t go on like this.”
So, she went on a mission. Over the course of six months, she managed to lose 9 kilograms, which is almost 20 pounds! The weight loss combined with another big step has given her this jaw-dropping new look.
So, What’s The Real Secret?
This is the part everyone was curious about. Yoon Young-mi was completely transparent about her methods. It was a two-part process.
First, the diet. She revealed that she initially tried the weight-loss treatment Wegovy, but she didn’t like the side effects, which left her with no energy and feeling down. So, she switched to a healthier diet, cutting out fattening foods and focusing on things like tomatoes, tofu, vegetables, eggs, and multigrain rice.
Second, she was honest about getting a “strong procedure” a month ago. She openly told her followers that she had a facelift and a neck lift to get rid of wrinkles and lift her drooping eyelids. It’s so refreshing to see a public figure be so upfront about cosmetic procedures!
“Resetting My Life at 63”
What’s the best part of this whole story? How happy and confident she is now. Yoon Young-mi expressed huge satisfaction with her decision, saying, “It’s been a month now, and I think it was the right decision. At 63, I’ve reset my life.” Her goal for the new year was to be ‘healthy, pretty, and happy,’ and she feels like she’s already achieved the ‘pretty’ part. Honestly, good for her! What a way to head into the new year feeling amazing.
