'Good Feeling' Star Points

Debuting as a member of Traxx in 2004, Noh Min-woo boasts a glamorous resume as the 'pioneer of idol bands.' True to his reputation for blazing new trails from the very start, he continues to display remarkable activity even more than 20 years later. Unlike other stars, he has performed at global luxury brand Chanel events while working as a DJ, and has also expanded his variety show appearances to include elderly-focused 'national programs' such as 'Morning Market' and '6 o'clock My Hometown.' Now, at 22 years into his career, Noh Min-woo is showcasing his enduring presence and reaching a turning point. The 'Good Feeling' point lies in his ability to always surprise the public with activities that differ from the norm.

Noh Min-woo, who debuted as an idol band member in his high school years, has now reached his 'forties.'

When asked for his thoughts on this milestone, Noh Min-woo responded calmly, saying, "I've lived without attaching significance to age, so I have no particular thoughts." He then added, "What's important is that 'all things age.' The speed of aging can be slowed down," spreading a positive attitude toward growing older.

Noh Min-woo explained, "The theory for slowing down the aging process is simple: constantly refine yourself. Even when I buy a single item, I use it for a long time and keep it clean for over 10 years. I apply the same principle to my body, striving to use it well so that it doesn't get sick or break." He revealed that he had been practicing 'slow aging' from an early age.

He continued, "Seeing colleagues and elderly people pass away makes me realize that 'no one knows when they will leave.' It makes me think I should live each day as if it were my last. So, I've been recording moments of happiness from each day for the past three years. At first, I really had nothing to write about. But wanting to fill that void, I started exercising and shifted in a positive direction. On some days, even when hungry, I resisted snacking and waited until my first meal. That first spoonful of hot soup made me feel 'so happy.' Sometimes, while listening to Cona's 'Our Night Is More Beautiful Than Your Day' as the sun sets, I become so happy that tears well up. Feeling and recording each day like this has become my driving force in everything I do. Above all, I believe 'living each day joyfully' is the most important thing," revealing his detached mindset.

Noh Min-woo also showed a relaxed attitude, treating thorough self-care as a "destiny" he enjoys. He even wore outfits by the late designer Andre Kim, which he boasted about on MBC's 'Radio Star,' from his 20s through his 30s and 40s, leaving little more to be said.

Noh Min-woo stated, "Artists like David Bowie and Michael Jackson, whom I've loved since I was very young, became very thin, and I was influenced by them. I originally loved eating. During my school days, I would eat 10 bowls of rice at a time. But I restrain myself for self-care. I do cardio every day and start my day with a cold shower. I did that today too. Doing so makes me feel like I can do absolutely anything in the world. Then, I make sure to drink soy milk with black beans, and after finishing all my work, I reward myself with a delicious meal I've been craving. I fast after 8 p.m. and practice 18-hour intermittent fasting every day. Having practiced slow aging for 22 years, it has become second nature. Now, when I focus, I don't even feel hungry," leaving people in awe.

Surprisingly, the 185cm tall Noh Min-woo has maintained a weight of 65kg for over 20 years. Especially noteworthy is that this achievement reflects not just self-care but also the life philosophy accumulated through his activities over the years, drawing attention.

Noh Min-woo shared, "In my late 20s, I experienced opportunities slipping away and even betrayal. I tried to soothe my sadness with alcohol, but I couldn't give up on the fact that my face wasn't improving. I realized, 'I don't think this is the way to relieve stress.' So I asked myself, 'How should I relieve this stress?' When I started playing the drums like crazy and running until my heart felt like it would burst, I became positive. That's when I discovered my current way of life. On the surface, I may look like a swan, but this is the way I survive in this harsh and intense world where humanity disappears and reappears several times a day," he confessed.

He added, "If stress about these things is relieved through food or alcohol, people will still criticize me and call me 'fat.' So I accepted it as my destiny and mission to manage myself as much as I can, and I practice it with a mindset of acceptance and enjoyment," revealing his deep inner strength.

-End.
