Actress Jeon Won-ju has taken steps to prevent dementia.

In the TV Chosun program "Perfect Life," airing at 8 p.m. on the 29th, Jeon Won-ju will share her special connection with actor Hyun Young.

On that day, Jeon Won-ju said, "My life turned around after I moved to the house where I currently live 30 years ago. I had always played roles such as a housekeeper, a mother-in-law, or a neighborhood aunt. (Desiring to do well,) I would look up at the mountain and pray, 'Please let Jeon Won-ju try her luck at least once!'"

Hearing this, Hyun Young asked, "How did your life turn around?" Jeon Won-ju replied, "After moving here, I started earning money, and the commercials I filmed at the time became popular, leading to various CF appearances."

Additionally, Jeon Won-ju said, "Hyun Young lives in this neighborhood. His protruding mouth resembles mine, so we filmed a movie together in a mother-and-son relationship." When photos from the movie "The Mayor and the Governor," in which both appeared, were revealed, Oh Ji-ho expressed surprise, saying, "I could believe he was your real son." In response, Jeon Won-ju joked wittily, "I thought, 'A person with a protruding mouth must have money,'" bringing laughter to the scene.

Meanwhile, Jeon Won-ju, now in her late 80s, shared her health concerns, saying, "Recently, I've been experiencing frequent memory lapses. I often fail to recognize people, leading to misunderstandings, and while I know their faces, I can't recall their names, which worries me." She added, "Once, someone treated me to a meal, but I couldn't remember, causing me embarrassment. Now, I've developed the habit of taking notes." She further revealed, "As my memory has worsened, I worry about myself, but I also worry about becoming a burden to my children and those around me, so I am singing, dancing, and hiking to prevent dementia."
