Miss Korea Jin Winner Kim Ji-yeon Drops from 75kg to 59kg: "My Sluggish Life Turned Around"

Actor Kim Ji-yeon (48), who won Miss Korea Jin in 1997, shared an update on her successful weight loss.

According to broadcast reports on the 26th, Kim recently dropped from 75kg to 59kg through consistent management.

She said that after years of trying everything from starving to pills and other extreme methods, this successful cut helped her shake off a sluggish routine and regain an energetic, confident daily life.

Kim opened up about her past struggles: “When I’d suddenly catch my reflection in the mirror, it felt like my past career and everything else had vanished, leaving just a shell. My body felt heavy, I tired easily, and I could barely get through the day without a nap.”

Beyond TV, Kim is also actively working as an insurance planner.

“I’m happy the number on the scale went down, but what hits me even more is how I use my 24 hours and the overall focus of my daily life,” she added. “I used to think, ‘Why diet at my age?’ Now I believe in my own potential, no matter how old I am. If I did it, anyone can. Don’t hesitate―just start.”
