The Age-Old Question: How Do Celebs Stay So Fit?
Hey guys! Let’s be real, we’ve all looked at stunning Korean actresses and wondered, “How do they do it?!” They seem to enjoy delicious food and drinks but always look flawless. Well, one of Korea’s most beloved actresses, Lee Min-jung (who you might know from hit dramas and as the wife of superstar Lee Byung-hun), just gave us a peek into her routine.
On her YouTube channel, she shared what she does after a night of drinking, and honestly, it’s pretty hardcore. While most of us would be reaching for greasy food and a comfy spot on the couch, Lee Min-jung has a totally different approach.
Her Post-Drinking Hangover Cure? Pilates!
So, what’s the big secret? It’s exercise! In a recent video, Lee Min-jung confessed, “I drank yesterday, so I have to go work out.” She then headed straight to a Pilates studio to, in her own words, “release the alcohol” from the night before. She admitted it was her first time trying Pilates, but she was determined to sweat it out. Talk about dedication, right?
This isn’t just a one-time thing. It seems to be her go-to method for balancing a fun social life with her career. She knows her body and feels that a light workout helps her reset and stay on track.
But Wait… Is That Actually a Good Idea?
Okay, before you swap your hangover brunch for a HIIT class, let’s talk about the health side of things. Lee Min-jung herself admitted she knows that working out right after drinking isn’t considered the best for your body. And she’s right. Health experts point out that exercising after drinking can put extra strain on your liver, which is already working overtime to process the alcohol. Your body is also likely dehydrated, which can make working out feel way tougher and even a bit risky.
So, while we admire her incredible discipline, this might be one of those “don’t try this at home” celebrity tips. Or at least, not without being careful!
The Real Takeaway
The real secret here probably isn’t the specific workout, but Lee Min-jung’s consistency and commitment to staying active. Instead of a full-on Pilates session, maybe a light walk or some gentle stretching is a safer way for the rest of us to feel better the next day. Her routine just goes to show that staying fit in a country famous for its drinking culture takes some serious effort!
