Park Min Young had to resort to some unhealthy weight-loss methods to pull off a slender appearance in “Marry My Husband”
From late 2022 to mid-2023, the public was shocked as they witnessed Park Min Young getting progressively skinnier, sometimes even appearing lifeless. The on-screen image of Park Min Young with a sunken face inevitably sparked curiosity about the reasons behind her drastic transformation.
It wasn’t until November 2023 that Park Min Young revealed the reason behind it all. She shed a whopping 37kg for her role as a cancer patient in the drama “Marry My Husband.” As reported by Allkpop, she has recently spoken out, cautioning fans about the excessively harsh methods she used for weight loss.
In the process, Park Min Young had to drastically cut down on her food intake and rely solely on ionized water and other methods to achieve the skinniest appearance possible.
This weight-loss journey left unpredictable consequences for Park Min Young’s health, such as muscle atrophy, hair loss, and constipation.
Moreover, it’s worth noting that a reduction in muscle mass can lead to a decrease in the metabolic rate. Even a small amount of food can easily result in weight gain. Going through this harsh weight-loss process, Park Min Young is advising her fans not to try it at home and to steer clear of such extreme methods.
“At this age, I also question whether I can convey that passion to the character. This is the last time I decided to sacrifice everything with a strong determination to fully immerse myself in the role.”
This isn’t the first time Park Min Young has undergone a physical transformation for a role. However, in the past, she always managed her weight and took care of her body using safe methods that didn’t compromise her health.
For example, when discussing her appearance in “What’s Wrong with Secretary Kim?,” Park Min Young shared: “For seven months, I consistently exercised daily and ate chicken breast to reduce body fat and strengthen muscles.” Thanks to a proper workout routine, the actress achieved her peak beauty that fans loved in the drama.
