Actress Kim Hye-young appeared on 'Touch Me' to open up about her concerns over her rapidly aged face.

On the 25th, the first defector actress Kim Hye-young appeared on Channel A's variety program 'Beauty Clinic Touch Me'.

Kim Hye-young, who once received great love with titles such as 'North Korea's Hwang Shin-hye' and 'Defector IU', appeared with a significantly changed face.

Her face showed pigmentation, nasolabial folds, neck wrinkles, and sagging skin. A specialist on the 'Touch Me' panel who watched this said bitterly, "Time has passed."

Kim Hye-young revealed her morning routine that caused rapid aging, shocking viewers. Immediately after waking up, she scrubbed her dry skin with a brush. Then, entering the bathroom, she washed her face multiple times with cleansing foam using a sponge after exfoliating.

After washing her face, Kim Hye-young rubbed her face with an alcohol wipe. Both the MCs and the specialist were shocked upon seeing this. In particular, MC Ahn Hyun-mo exclaimed in disbelief, "Do you rub that on your face?" and added, "Isn't that what you use to clean a phone screen?"

In an interview with the production team, Kim Hye-young revealed that she took about eight years off from activities due to difficult times caused by divorce and fraud. She stated, "There were hard things, and I felt I should focus on my child, so I completely stopped broadcasting and rested for eight years."

She later announced her return to activities. Kim Hye-young said, "One day, my child suddenly asked me, 'Mom, when are you happiest?' When I answered that I was happiest while working in broadcasting, he told me, 'Mom, do what makes you happy so you can smile.' That made me realize I should resume activities. That was three to four years ago."

Afterward, Kim Hye-young met her close friend, comedian Kim Hyun-young. She revealed that both her face and body changed during those difficult times. Currently, she mentioned that she is going through menopause and her son is in puberty. "I kept suppressing my anger, so stress built up," she confessed, adding, "I gained 8kg over six months."

Upon hearing this, Kim Hyun-young told Kim Hye-young, "You should meet a good person. Is getting divorced a crime?" In response, Kim Hye-young stated that she has no interest in remarrying, saying, "I won't invest in men anymore. I want to invest in my own face."

Meanwhile, Kim Hye-young defected from North Korea in 1998 and settled in South Korea, gaining attention as the first defector actress. She has experienced three divorces. When she married her second husband, actor Kim Sung-tae, she held her son in her arms. After her third marriage, when her ex-husband was arrested in 2018 on charges including stock price manipulation and violation of the Capital Markets Act, they subsequently divorced.
