Actress Moon Geun-young made her first appearance on a variety show in a long time. After about seven years, Moon Geun-young ventured onto a variety program, appearing slightly plumper than before but maintaining her bright and cheerful demeanor. Attention is once again focused on the return of the nation's younger sister.

On the 15th, a preview of actress Moon Geun-young's appearance on tvN's variety program "You Quiz on the Block" (hereinafter "You Quiz") was released toward the end of the broadcast, sparking widespread discussion.

Moon Geun-young appeared on a variety program for the first time since 2019, marking a gap of approximately seven years. Moon Geun-young took part in the variety show to promote her current play, "Open," where she engaged in an open and heartfelt conversation with Yoo Jae-suk.

A source told StarNews, "Moon Geun-young opened up about many things on variety for the first time in a long while. She spoke honestly about her health and other matters the public has been curious about. While we don't know how the broadcast will turn out, she conveyed everything truthfully."

In the preview video released that day, MC Yoo Jae-suk introduced Moon Geun-young, "our eternal national younger sister," as having returned in good health, while Moon Geun-young cheerfully greeted the audience, saying, "I've turned 40 in the meantime. I'm the young bride, the national younger sister."

Moon Geun-young, who was diagnosed with acute compartment syndrome in 2017 and underwent four surgeries before being declared cured, appeared slightly plumper than before. Acute compartment syndrome, which Moon Geun-young suffered from, is a condition caused by abnormalities in pressure within muscles, nerves, and blood vessels, primarily affecting the limbs and leading to pain and paralysis. As a result, Moon Geun-young withdrew from the play "Romeo and Juliet" in 2017, underwent four surgeries, and announced her full recovery in 2024.

Moon Geun-young directly addressed her changed appearance, joking, "I'm not sure if my heart has grown along with my body, but I think being in your 40s could be quite exciting and fun," eliciting laughter from the audience.

Attention is focused on what honest stories Moon Geun-young, whose heart and mind have grown larger, will share.
