Jin Tae-ok, a 93-year-old active fashion designer, revealed why she still goes to work every day.
On the episode of tvN's variety show 'You Quiz on the Block' broadcast on the 28th, Jin Tae-ok, a master of the Korean fashion industry, appeared and shared various stories.
That day, Yoo Jae-suk introduced Jin by saying, "She opened the era of ready-to-wear in our country. She was the first Korean to enter Paris Prêt-à-Porter, and she wrote the history of fashion in South Korea."
Jin, who has been working as an active designer for 62 years, surprised viewers by revealing that even at the age of 93, she clocks in at her studio every day at 10 a.m.

Jin said, "I am still working hard," adding, "I live a busy life. I have the thought that I need to go quickly and design."
She also shared her secret to maintaining good health. She explained, "I swim twice a week. I walk 500 meters and swim 500 meters," and added, "I also drink warm tea, which helps manage my mental state as well."
In response, Yoo asked, "Don't people around you tell you to stop working and rest?" Jin answered decisively, "If I did that, it would be the day I die."
She then revealed, drawing attention, that she tells her children, "Please don't tell me not to work."
