Actress Ha Ji-won (49) revealed her personal secrets.
Ha Ji-won appeared on tvN's variety program 'You Quiz on the Block' (hereinafter 'You Quiz'), which aired on the 2nd.
Ha Ji-won spoke about the film 'Bi-gwang', released after five years. She said, "It feels like welcoming a child I've long cherished," and added, "As I immersed myself in the role of Nam-mi, an actress whose career had collapsed, it was painful for me as someone who actually has a profession as an actor." She expressed her deep affection for the work.
She also shared an anecdote about re-enrolling in university through her YouTube channel '26th Grade Ji-won-iyoo', stating, "I actually have a student ID and attend classes diligently. Although the students are younger, they treated me as an equal within the 26th-grade worldview, which made me extremely happy and joyful." However, she candidly admitted that as a side effect of her appearance, "Every article emphasizes my age and numbers, making me feel embarrassed."
She also revealed behind-the-scenes details of the viral 'Home Run' performance. Ha Ji-won said, "Everything, including the YouTube view count pledge of 1.2 million, was done spontaneously, but things escalated quickly." She added, "While practicing choreography, I used muscles I hadn't used in a long time, and my entire body ached to the point where I had to carry a folding bed with me. There were many mistakes in the choreography on site, but we managed to get through it with improvisational dancing and 'energy'."
She continued, "After that, I received countless phone calls for pitching invitations linked from 'Home Run.' Since I was already doing it, I wanted to do it properly, so I practiced until I injured my hand." She shared an anecdote: "I couldn't show off the practice of throwing a ball that hit player Choi Won-jun's body during a professional baseball opening ceremony. However, when I pitched at 'Fenway Park' after moving to Major League Baseball, the ball landed precisely in the strike zone, and I found myself shouting without realizing it."

Ha Ji-won drew attention by revealing her personal secrets fitting the title 'Icon of Preservative-like Beauty.' First, regarding 'body management methods,' she said, "I do exercises that scold muscles when they don't move. By enduring until electricity flows and conversing with my muscles, I believe fast-twitch muscles increase." She shared this unique exercise method.
She stated, "Whether it's skin or body, it's important to recognize my own condition. After checking the moisture level of my skin daily and providing appropriate care, and by weighing myself every day while focusing on relaxing contracted muscles, I think it helps with elasticity." She generously shared her dietary management methods, including consistently consuming olive oil, lemon, honey, and other items.
Ha Ji-won said, "For me, challenge means 'having no tricks.'" She added, "Challenges are scary and not easy, but when I take on absurd challenges and face truly difficult moments, I find myself saying, 'Ah, this is fun' without realizing it. When I endure and overcome the feeling of standing at the edge of a cliff, I feel like living actively toward the world. Isn't that the 'fresh life' I dream of?" She also shared her philosophy of life.
